OK here we go. Many here will have seen the images I have posted of jacket paintings I have attempted. Now a bunch of us have decided to replicate a crew and have chosen, in addition to a generic impression, to represent a crew from 324BS (pre 401BS) 'Little Patches' of the 91st bomb group. what this means for me is up to ten copies of the Starcer rendering of the Gil Elvegren original ' net result' .
I will photograph all ten as I do them. This will take months as many do not yet have their scond A-2. I will also be doing the squadron patch for each jacket.
I am considering making life easier for myself by making stencils to block in the original lettering and girl shape from which I will then add detail by hand. that said, I may differ the positioning of the lettering ie across the top and large, stacked and over to the right etc Sound like a plan?
If anyone can direct me to a decent size image of the Elvegren original I will be grateful.
