Ahhhhh, heck.  I've been working on something way too similar for the COIN group build....how the heck am I gonna compete with that sort of paint-job, now?!?!   :banghead:


Sorry Mr.Howling Mouse sir...my apologies, didn't mean to steal your thunder...:(

Heh, that's what I get for keeping it a secret without posting any of the progress!   :thumbsup:  And mine does have turboprops and a T-Tail (naturally) but I seriously cannot paint as well as you do.  The moment anyone lays eyes on a Zeke original, they can't help but think "professional finish."   I'll have to come up with another markings scheme  :cheers:

Thanks for the kind words...:)
Just a quick update. A very talented chap called Bob Aikens e-mailed me a little while ago about using my shots of the Tigercat as a starting point for some Photoshop artistry and this is what he came up with...just stunning work by him and it captures exactly what I had in my minds eye when I was working on the camouflage...so a big THANKS to Bob and his mad computer skills... :bow: :thumbsup:








now, where'd I put that Beaufighter?...:P

Awesome photo-manipulation.
I love the shadow in the third photo.

Whoa!  :o Awesome model and awesome presentation!  :bow:
Cheers,

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?

The pilot & backseater look like they're looking for targets . . .With a real serious desire to use that ordnance.

Zeke, that is one excellent COIN bird you have there, my favourite kind of plane!! :bow: :bow: :bow:
It has given me the nerve to convert a ww2 plane into a more modern turbo prop attack/COIN aircraft.
I will have to keep my eye open for one of those kits now.

Your Photoshop-fu is impressive!
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Yeah, he's done a splendid job on the photo trickery. It was just about all I could do to get rid of the model stand in the original photo's, this kind of work is just all  majik mumbo-jumbo stuff to me!... :bow: :wub:
