Hello all! I'm the artist formerly known as sideshowbob9.

First off, I'd like to thank GTX for making us a new home here!

The first few posts will be the best of my previous profiles and I hope to begin posting new profiles later in the week. For reference, these works are my own from the line drawing up with the exception of the roundels, which are freely available from wikipedia, here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_aircraft_insignia

Great to see your work; keep them coming

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #12 on:** December 12, 2011, 12:18:36 AM »

That's some great stuff! I especially like the CW-40 airliner. Wouldn't mind seeing that baby in a bunch of differet liveries!

Fantastic work loving the 1950's stuff, top class work :) :) :)

Litvyak · « **Reply #14 on:** December 12, 2011, 02:13:40 AM »

I echo Brian's sentiment - I adore the airliner!

Might I request versions in period-correct Pacific Western and Canadian Pacific liveries?

sotoolslinger · « **Reply #15 on:** December 12, 2011, 07:34:58 AM »

Most excellent stuff EH. Great to see you here.

Empty Handed · « **Reply #16 on:** December 12, 2011, 08:01:28 AM »

Thanks!

Litvyak, for the Pacific Western livery did you mean this one?

If not, I will probably also do the 70s blue/white Pacific Western scheme as well as they are both pretty attractive. CP Air and Avianca are both also coming up.

Litvyak · « **Reply #17 on:** December 12, 2011, 10:07:22 AM »

Oh wow, that looks great!!

Though that's not the one I was thinking of (I'd actually forgotten about that particular scheme - not even sure if I've seen it on anything besides DC-3?); I was thinking of this one:

http://www.spacemodel.com/wp-content/uploads/wpsc/product_images/B707-pwa.jpg

as that's my favourite of all PWAL schemes (got the decals for it for a B707, one day I'll build it...)

The other option is the overall white - http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4089/5191696927_78a8d85b88.jpg though I think that one's a little boring.

Thanks again, that looks brilliant!

Liking your stuff, some really good and inspirational ideas there.

Tophe · « **Reply #19 on:** December 12, 2011, 11:17:57 AM »

Your single-engined Whirlwind is my favourite... it would be so nice with a Spitfire, adding originality to beauty in a "Battle of Britain" film poster or something.

Brian da Basher · « **Reply #20 on:** December 13, 2011, 03:37:42 AM »

Wow that looks killer in Pac. West. livery!

Any chance to see one in Allegheny colors?

Brian da Basher

Empty Handed · « **Reply #21 on:** December 13, 2011, 03:51:31 AM »

Thanks guys!

Litvyak, I've seen that scheme on a DC-4 also. It appears to have fallen from use in the early/mid 60s, about the time I figured the Curtiss Thunderbird would enter service. Of course, in the 70s, they were seen in the more familiar colour scheme. ; )

Good call on Allegheny colours Brian! Consider it on the to-do list!

Litvyak · « **Reply #22 on:** December 13, 2011, 04:19:11 AM »

:in-love: :in-love: :in-love:

Oh, Elements, is that ever GORGEOUS!! Thank you!

Maverick · « **Reply #23 on:** December 13, 2011, 10:05:41 AM »

Since you're doing airliners, how about QANTAS or Air NZ?

Regards,

John

Litvyak · « **Reply #24 on:** December 13, 2011, 02:20:56 PM »

Like it? I LOVE it! Though that scheme looks great on everything...

One nitpick, if I may? The "CP Air" text should be slanted. The font looks good, so maybe just use italic variant should be enough?
