bombs away Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) Hi To everyone here on the Britmodeller, Over that last couple of years a lot of people have been very kind and supportive of the work that I have done with the Airfix brand. In this time I have has several requests as to ' is there any artwork for sale' and have always indicate that in the near future some would become available. Since the start of the year I have been setting up a new Company which now sells aviation artwork from aviation classics magazine. We have produced a series of artworks that have been published in the magazine and are now available to purchase. Classic aircraft such as the F86 sabre, mosquito and harrier have been faithfully reproduced in new artworks . Over the next year there will be further artworks added every two months on some of aviation's most famous aircraft. Our Prints are A2 in size - ( 59.4 x 42 cm - 23.4 x 16.5 inches) . The Prints are on a heavyweight 285 gsm cotton based fine art paper printed with a 12 colour process for a flawless reproduction. Each print is limited to 1000 and are individually numbered by myself. The new company is called finest hour art and can be found at www.finesthourart.com www.finesthourart.com We value all feedback and comments so please feel free to do so in this thread. Many thanks Adam tooby and Nicola you Edited July 21, 2011 by bombs away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeilF92 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I like the artistic look to your works - not always easy to show off an aircraft in detail and still have a viable background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F-32 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Very nice indeed, the jail breakers piece is especially impressive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lieuwe Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi,Yes they are renders of 3D models I have built. Ah cool, good to see someone doing this right for a change. A lot of 3D renders I see are technically very good but artistically they leave a lot to be desired especially in composition, you seem to have got that nailed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombs away Posted July 22, 2011 Author Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi Lieuwe, Thankyou - I am a traditionally trained Technical illustrator and artist - When I started out the computer was just capable of doing lettering. As for composition I always go back to tradional artistic methods in my thinking - I always try to capture the emotion and drama of the scene thats being created. thankyou to everyone else for their kind words to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkippyBing Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Awesome work! Out of interest what sort of poly count are your models? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombs away Posted July 25, 2011 Author Share Posted July 25, 2011 hi, On average around 500,000 polys per model - Got to have the detail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topgear29 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 Got to say they are superb you have to do a BAC Lightning but I do thing the Sea Harrier should be darker in colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombs away Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 As of the end of September there will be two more prints available both on the wonderful F4U Corsair - I'll post further details once they are completed. If anyone has any further question please just ask - I am planning in the near future the Lancaster, spitfire, 109E - fFand G variants along with the Stuka and some more of the uncommon subjects. all the best, Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard M Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Having seen Adam's print work up close and in person I can say the detail and finish is incredible, if you are after an aviation print I would thoroughly recommend these . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theflyingwelshman Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 The prints look great, if you dont mind me asking what program are you using to creat the cad models from? Thanks again for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bombs away Posted August 12, 2011 Author Share Posted August 12, 2011 hi, I create them in 3D studio - then I paint all the textures in photoshop - no photo's all created from scratch. I use Vue for the backgrounds. All models are built from GA drawings and a lot of photo ref! I'm always dragging the family to air museums for more reference ! But I guess I'm not the only one here that does that to! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilF92 Posted August 12, 2011 Share Posted August 12, 2011 (edited) Wow! I didn't realise these were from 3D models you build yourself . I've dabbled in Blender sufficient to produce basic models for my art work but never imagined producing anything as accurate & detailed yet still artistic as these renders.

Lieuwe Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 hi,I create them in 3D studio - then I paint all the textures in photoshop - no photo's all created from scratch. I do the same for my profile drawings, to each his own but to me using photographs for say ejection seats etc. just doesn't feel right. Also, though I may curse doing them continuously, I secretly enjoy drawing all the fiddly bits! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tc2324 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Just wondering what squadrons will be covered in your F-14 releases? (Hoping VF-111 `Sundowners` is in there somewhere???) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
