Thanks for the compliments. When my daughter found out that I intended to pay her for the work, she told me she was just hoping that I would grill a bunch of chicken wings as a reward. She quickly and shrewdly negotiated for the money - with a chicken wing bonus.

I’m very happy with how it is turning out. The last thing she will paint is the black outlines, and that will really sharpen the edges up.

Nice job!

As a side note, I reskinned some C-47 cowlings back around 04 and charged almost $5K.  Mind you they were natural aluminum finish and cherry.
I regret doing business with TD Computer Systems.

Ink, You are absolutely correct! She is doing most of the work.

Your daughter has a lot of talent; it looks great.  :aok
Now granted; I am kinda biased on this one but, if you are still looking for ideas to paint it would be cool to see the nose art of my grandfather's C47 leaflet bomber done up.



wish I had a better picture though.
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

This is where the “Donnie Boy” cowling will go. It will replace an unpainted cowling that I hung on the garage wall. I put that one up there so that I could troubleshoot the mounting process. It also showed me that I needed to shorten the shelf that holds the TV, and I dropped it about fifteen inches.



The 2nd cowling will be on the same wall, but on the left side of the pop machines. I want it to face the center, so whatever nose art we choose with may end up being reversed.

The red chairs are old theater seats. We occasionally spin them around, fix a bunch of snacks, and have a “Movie night” out in the garage. The TV screen may not be the biggest, but the sound system rocks.

CHEERS!

My AWESOME Daughter just finished her first nose art!



I will probably hang it in the garage tomorrow.  She is going to do one more for me. But the second one will not be historical. Instead she is going to design it to match my personality. Sort of a ‘fantasy’ nose art. I’m thrilled with how this one turned out, and anxious to she what she can do on her own!

Very cool. I would love to try something like that.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!
