[Ian Warren]

Replaced driver cabin window, getting details correct , these are the major changes, all the same as the previous post , not shown is the other areas.

wow .... well done that man

Ian , your the man in charge , but, i was thinking .... if you blur the train a bit , that would save work , and make the aircraft look to be moving .... maybe .

Cheers matey , this one is not difficult , I just seemed to loose direction and how I approached it .. most off it was probably due to the STEP by STEP process .

That gets drawn in , no PC edit there .. that is added via pencil so as not to loose detail.

Now we are cooking with custard , I have to modify the P-47 nose, its a little deep in the engine cowl and is a little twisted .... Hey Marty that is what the vernier is for

Beautiful work Ian. I wish I had skills like that!

Thanks Paul, now have the layout and P-47s in the right place in comes the editing , still far from finished , create the movement and add a lot of details .. explosions and mayhem.

[Naki]

Far out . ...that is very nice!

[Splitpin]

Amazing

[Ian Warren]

Thanks again Paul and you Marty, still alot to do the create the effect ... railway line 'track' detail is need, still a lot to do on the Choo Choo , P-47 is maybe 70% ... It will look extreme once its printed on SRA3 photo paper - this now gives me an honest base to get the details correct.

Ive read all the P-47 books , bar one ... which covers operations to get the detail/missions/sorties , I have here call the "The Mighty Eighth" by Roger Freeman , simply trying to get the information correct or as close as possible to what actually happened.

Remind me to bring "the hub" when i come over for "CHEESYS ! and the jet , and the pilots notes , and the WW1 videos .... i think thats it

[Ian Warren]

Marty all the above, be great to compare/study the pilots notes ... course a twiddle with that ramjet

[Ian Warren]

Marty stopped thru this morning and was able to see how this has progressed, this afternoon I concentrated on movement of the four directions -
the moving train , the steam , the explosions and base detailing the Thunderbolts, this is drawn on standard carton paper and with a photo you
do loose a lot off the detail, once happy again I then scan it again and edit it and clean areas up and now to print it on 300gsm card which is
smoother and give a better more defining result - two more process's to do before its complete, another drawing then it gos to photo SRA3
paper and laser printed, again it gets further editing - from here you will see a real change in contrast and it being more dynamic.

[Ian Warren]

Now with the movement installed, the affects created, the canvas/paper requires another operation, to clean it up clean up and in words make the explosions
brighter using the computer and Abobe CS5.5 and also to bleach some areas cart wagon wheels for example .. Still have to add details to the train and further
ground details - track and mayhem ... now your starting to see the Rush off everything going on and the idea off a WWII THUNDERBOLT STRIKE. Off the best
attributes with PC is you can study the blast effects and add that little more to the finished drawing .

Man... I have no words really...some Hungarian cursing comes to mind like "aztakurva" or "baszki"! (don't try google translate on these though, it's slang stuff)

LOVE IT IAN!!!!

[Ian Warren]

Super Thanx Dan .. "aztakurva" or "baszki"! , I'll get a friend to translate .. Czech .. sure he would know .. in the last twenty four - the
final sweep .. still has to be edited on the PC and details added , further more P-47 /train details .. little more death and destruction

[Ian Warren]

In between drawing also comes the promoting, a brilliant little 'Bed and Brecky', they don't want promoting Steve and Launa said they were busy enough
, it a choice little spot and with the International visitors, display my artwork there and off we go ... nice dinner last night as well, Thanks guys

[Splitpin]

Great stuff Ian ...... need more of it well done fella.

[Ian Warren]

Thanks Marty, one off the thing pointed out last night was aircraft and the history, I wasn't until I could explain explicit details and the history behind each drawing Steve went and dug out a photo album showing some amazing personal aircraft and carrier photo's from the 1950s and 1960/70s - Fleet Air Arm, Royal Navy, hoping to borrow this album to scan and post the photo for everyone viewing - some amazing photos.

[Splitpin]

There you go ..... net working .
I still think you should consider the museum thing .... and dont forget that artist guy who contacted you .
You really need an agent , your a good bloke , but you tend to stand back a bit ...... and your stuff is good.

[Ian Warren]

It is the time getting out, showing , displays .. also requires the research and the drawing and the updating website, OMAKA next year is going to be a goodie and course need to head into the RNZN in town at the promotions office and places .. back to Canterbury museum and even a clothing shop - they do flying jackets "The real McCoy" think its called .
