Phartycr0c Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) Many years ago, after meeting SWMBO I had to move my twin boys, then 5, into their shared bedroom as their nasty step sister had moved in. Obviously before doing so I did a little decorating, and decided to make it into a "proper" boys room. to that end, I borrowed a OHP a nicely illustrated book and some acetate and set to work on some appropriate murals. Anyhow, they are now popping towards 14 and have to all intents and purposes, grown out of the theme although both still love aircraft, so prior to redecoration and losing these pictures under some lining paper, I thought I would share them with you folks. I am not, and never can profess to be an artist in any way, but this is the result of following a few lines with a pencil, some emulsion, and early learning ready mixed paints. and yes the FW 190 wings are WELL out of proportion! . Ah well! sad to seem go Edited October 28, 2010 by Phartycr0c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hovis Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 At least they'll be protected under lining paper - better than slapping paint straight over it, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phartycr0c Posted October 29, 2010 Author Share Posted October 29, 2010 Thanks for the replies, they are now gone Mark, That project would be Fantastic! I assume the image gets converted to regular sized rolls of wallpaper or does it end up akin to an advertising poster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
