Title: I have a real office finally!
Post by: whiteman on November 15, 2008, 12:29:59 PM
Now i need stuff to put in it, right now it looks like a padded room. :( If you have bought paintings or drawings any kind of artwork of WWII aircraft online before and were impressed with the service let me know where it was from. I'm also looking for books that would be great reads and books that would good refrence material for doing skins. I'm a graphic designer and were getting to the slow part of the year and thought I'd learn to do skins with my extra time at work. Any refernces are much appreciated!

Looks like someone's priorities are focused in the wrong direction!

Just kidding, I used to use Virginia Bader's Fine Arts.

I've got a 109E by M. Wooten signed by the artist, A. Galland, D. Hrabak and G. Rall.
Also have a white 109G by J. Crandall signed by E. Hartmann.  That's a lot of allied planes shot down by just 4 Luftwaffe pilots!

I wonder if Virginia Bader is related to Douglas Bader the RAF Pilot from WW2 given the Aviation link?
