Was wonderful opportunity to paint a boxart version for budding NZ model aircraft company. All painted in acrylics late last year.

Mike you never cease to amaze me with your work and this is a lovely paint job as always.

Can't get one by me!

About a month ago I was poking around the Large Scale Planes forum where someone posted a pic of this figure. I immediately thought, I know who painted this dude!

Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!

Mike,
You enlarge photos of your work to ridiculous largeness and it still looks great!! I have no idea how you do it, apart from extreme talent!

Great to see some new work again Mike! Great work on the face and the blue/yellow contrast.
I have your book. Great to see your process and read about your ideas on modelling and uniforms. Got some in practice already.

all the best,
RJ

Hi Mike

Great to see this posted and from a young new NZ company as well which is good to see

Very accurate sculpting highlighted by your artwork , brought him to life ...like the way you've treated the life vest

What colours did you use for the blues ?

Always good to see your painting , rather inspirational work

Look forward to seeing more

Happy benchtime
