Miniatures
Still working on the Pitch Reel when I can, though with two kids and overtime at the day job (plus trips across the country) I still am not getting to it as much as I’d like. However, tonight I finished painting the miniature for the triplane that Pupsock will be riding. I’ve never done anything like this before, and it probably shows, but I think I did a pretty good job. I spent a while studying painting techniques, and then spent a couple of days studying photos and footage of actual triplanes to see how they naturally wear as they age. Then, I put my newly-acquired painting knowledge to work trying to imitate the same wear and tear. It was a good feeling watching it all come together and look something like what I had in mind. I’m sure a model expert would have several issues with it, and I’d love to hear what they are and how they’d go about fixing it. Best way to learn.
I’ll let it dry tonight, and then hopefully I’ll get to film it before the day job sends me to Alaska on Monday. Then I’ll really be able to tell if I did a good job or not.
