This is a little project that I actually started last year. I had been wanting to do a painting of an Etrich Taube for a while. I used the Flashback 1/48 Taube as my lighting reference. Obviously I didn't finish the model out, but I got it far enough along for my own purposes.





Well, last month I had a small canvas panel ready and a little space in my schedule so I gave it color.

This one has actually been finished for a couple of weeks now. I just haven't had a chance to sit down, scan it and color correct it.

I concur. It almost feels like I am sneaking up on its tail.
