Here's a quick update. I really like Clippers North Sea blimps and then I found a 1917 postcard of a balloon for sale on eBay that looked cool. Why not give it a try?
I'm going slightly mad but painting the balloon is very addictive. I just can't stop.
Thanks for the inspiration Clipper!
The D.VII is coming along well. A few more struts need to be added and these are the trickiest part for sure.
Also there's some Fokker streaky experiments going on. A base coat of green or blue, then ink washes could be a winner. I've ordered some new ink washes which should be perfect.
Back to painting squares now, then more squares, then more and more until I end up in a square painting trance.
