Hi
Just for a change and to hopefully keep the Truckies happy I've attempted a truck profile.
I'm not sure how accurate anything is so constructive critiques are more than welcome.
All was done on computer just like I do with the h-airy planes.



Cheers and thanks
Peter

Hi Andy...
I half traced it and half drew it from a very low res image I found. The wheels are all original work.
Hence the unsurity of how accurate it is, including the colours.
I use Freehand for drawing out the naked keylines and otline elements then I assemble it in Photoshop for colouring. All on Mac....well I get one free at work...lol....lunch times of course.

Cheers
Peter

Now that you've eased into softskins, perhaps you can try something a bit more 'hardened' like a half track... and then on to Shermans and Tigers and Panthers, oh my.....

Gad...where will it all end

When I get fed up of doing the Luft 46 stuff....you never know...lol.
It would make a change from time to time though....so don't be surprised if I do do the odd "heavy" :-)

Cheers
