Thank you for your encouraging words- this mean to me. Few more steps and must say that every step is far from easy. Images are dull and blur, small and very rare. This morning i spent in finding the basic panels and fuel tank and engine shape. This is just basic and I think there will be huge improvements.

Cheers

I try to make position of the five color lozenge but it is not easy at all. Most problem coming how to overlap strip of fabric over the fuselage.

The R.XIVa was a 5-engined version, one engine in the nose and two each in gondolas in a tractor – pusher configuration. The engines were 245 hp Maybach Mb.IVa’s.

Just to show few details which present lozenge scheme over the airplane. It look like the wings does not have this pattern and not all fuselage surfaces have this type of covering. Photo credit: Filmdokumentationszentrum - Filmarchiv Austria

Hi mate,

this is possible illusion caused but surrounding flat shapes and shadow. I think I have finish it. But i will wait Nico Braas to come back and give final opinion. This was very hard art to do in every aspect. First at all to set all of this in head and then to show on paper...

A little progress made this morning. Many details would be finished but I have a stroke... well- everybody who live in Serbia know that electric distribution company have very interesting hobby. To cut supply without announcement and if this happen that you are work in Photoshop in the moment and especially you have area under selection- be sure that you file will be gone forever. I have lost many files in that way. This happen today again and this art was under selection during this event. Don't ask me how this happen that this work was not damaged forever. At least I was that nervous that I have fit just few details and could not continue with work. Here what we have now.

I will drink a cup of my domestic rakija and take my kid out
