Hi Jean Luc
I sort of did the French Miles with you in mind. Glad you like it.
Scratch build?

Peter. Lovely stuff, like most you do. I guess we would all appreciate if you went to the local horce races, won £100000, got yourself a powerful cadsystem and SLS-3d printing equipment and put the stuff on the market. Any scale is possible, so it would be a brave new world.

Hi and many thanks.

Jengel
Yes I know Igor quite well and I'm happy he uses a few of my images.
Igor has made a few especially exciting choices this time I think.

Tony
I have toyed with the idea of doing 3D illustrations for ages but as you say its the software costs and then the practice. I will one day.
At present I use the mouse/Photoshop brush like a real brush, as close to reality as possible I suppose. It's called age I think .

Many thanks again and more coming.

Hi Jengel.
I don't know if Igor is planning the M22.
I will drop him a line and ask.

Even I might come out of the modelling twilight zone for that one.

Cheers
Peter

An absolutely fantastic set of images, Peter! Your attention to detail is impeccable. I'm quite taken by the Miles M.22 as well. If someone kits it, I'll be first in line. If not, i may scratch build it. Either way, would you mind if I used your markings, as homage to your fine artistry? Thanks!

Hi Alex
Many thanks for your kind comments.

would you mind if I used your markings,


Absolutely not.
Please go ahead.
This profile thing was initially started as a camo/markings ideas guide for modellers trying secret project/prototype aircraft.
So please be my guest.


Many thanks again
Peter

Hi Jengel
Just e-mailed Igor.
He had not seen the Miles M22 before, so I sent him pics of the profile.

He immediately came back with.....expect the Miles M22 kit sometime in 2009.
He loves the thing.
However it will more than likely be 1/72nd scale, not 1/48th.

So watch Unicraft for further developments.
He's got a start, he has the box art already...

Cheers
