As an airplane enthusiast, I'm wondering if you have more photos of the Blohm und Voss BV P.208.

Thank you!
It looks beatiful, convincing, like it means business, like it has been used....

1.   
2.   Were you a set builder/SFX expert for Gerry Anderson at all?
3.   This must win every category in the next Whiffies, surely?
4.   I think I might just give up this modelling lark - I'm not worthy!

Alexander,

Excellent work!

I think you've posted your BV P.208 before and it's nice to see it again.  Your ability with metal foil finishes makes me weep when I look upon what I've done with them on my models!  Aside from the splendor of that rendering, I'm also quite impressed by the hangar backdrop.  The finish you achieved there is outstanding.  The realism of the concrete and weathering of the chipped paint effects are outstanding.  How did you get the concrete to look that way?  Oil washes?  Something else?  The various markings on the walls - are those painted on?  Stenciled?  They really ad to the effect.  What is the material you made the hangar out of?  Plasterboard?  Paper?  Plastic sheeting?

This is nicely inspiring work on your part.  Thank you for sharing it here.

I like the 'International Scale Standard' visible in a few of the piccies, a razor blade!
