Well this was nice little painting project to get me back in the swing after a break of a month or so. Maybe it's my age but I get out of the painting groove very quickly these days.
The goggles thing is a nice trick which I shall refine in the future. It's always bugged me.
Painting faces is still totally hit or miss for me, but the rest of it is not so scary now.
I had another bash at a close up
and, inspired by Steve's(Stona) Dogfight Double pics, a quick fumble with a background...
I put him on a grass 'airfield' base, but I really don't like the flock that has red and blue strands in it. I kind of understand that it's the way to mix colours, but is this as good as it gets ,or is there any out there that is just a colour?
I'm glad to have Douglas in my collection-he was a boyhood hero of mine, even if my opinion of him has tempered with maturity. He will be joined on the shelf eventually by these guys
many thanks for looking
Cheers
Neil
