This is slightly off-topic but it relates to airbrushing.
Check out the paint jobs on these trucks that Mickey Harris did as they are incredible! [:0]
I used to have a video tape where he painted some wolves on the back of a leather jacket, but this is way beyond that!
Have you ever seen a $130,000 paint job? Look at the Kenworth tractor in the middle.
You have to click on each individual truck picture on this web site to see the paint job on each one at the bottom of the pages. http://www.daleison.com/
This guy is way beyond what I can do. [bow]
I wouldn’t worry about scratchbuilding it, I just wonder who is going to produce the decals or better yet, freehand it with an airbrush. [:D]
Better buy a Sotar 20/20 and get some urethanes and get to practicing. [;)]
Your airbrushing is very good. Your cars especially. I just bought a new airbrush and am going to paint, well, everything actually! Have you ever used a projector? I am thinking about getting one but dont know how well they work.
Thanks for the compliments. Yes I do use a projector because frankly I am not that great at drawing without one. [:D]
I use an Artograph Super AG100 which they don’t make anymore. The newer version of mine is called the Super Prism. They have them at Dixie Art: http://dixieart.com/Artograph_Projectors.html
The cheaper projectors are not worth it unless you are really short on funds. They do not produce bright enough images to see well enough to trace your lines.
I hope this helps.

PS I like your screen name. I have always been a Thor comic book fan and I still have over 300 in my collection. [;)]
We have some pretty talented artists right around here. Mike, of course, but also Steve Barba. I saw a post by him on the Diorama forum with a link to his web site. Take a look at some of his aircraft nose art: http://www.thunderboltgallery.com
