GYROPLANE |
The design brief was 'British Forces, Union Flag + Eagle' |
|
|
This project was initiated by the pilot of a gyroplane who had seen my advert in Back Street Heroes biker magazine and had checked out my work on this site.
Right from the outset, I was really interested by the challenge to paint an aircraft and particularly as this one was to be used in a world record breaking challenge to circumavigate the globe. |
|
|
The Golden Eagle was a natural choice as the project's mascot, being the king of the UK's indigenous bird of prey. |
 |
Following a number of emails and a meeting with the pilot, I outlined my design ideas and began the job in August 2002. I had never airbrushed such a big project before... the gyroplane only just about squeezed through the door of my workshop.
Optimistically, I expected to complete the artwork in three weeks.... in reality it took 5 to 6 weeks.. everyday ...for an average of ten hours of airbrushing/masking per day... (thank the stars for Red Bull!!).
