Title: New (Different) paint project!
Post by: Clive on December 17, 2009, 05:00:13 PM
It's about two thirds of a Lynx Main Rotor Blade (about eight feet!!!!), for the Squadron Crewroom at work!

After prep, and a coat of black, I projected the image on with my OHP,

Then roughed in the highlights, and freehanded the details in with white

And today, added the colour!! That's how far I am with it at the moment, about four hours wrk so far!

To be honest buddy, it's almost finished now! Just got to add the Olive drab colour back on either end, fade it into the black, add my logo (ALWAYS advertise!!), and clearcoat it!

That's amazing Clive. You really are a talented chap  ...but that's a tigger. Shouldn't it be a Lynx?

Looks good mate.
 A while back I tried all over the place to get hold of a piece of one of those rotors like that.
