Engine work

sunday.. no comms from Warwick so I guessed our companionable drawing sessions are suspended. At least until further notice..
so I watched the wet British GP qualifying plus the GP3 race and then nearly gave myself a heart attack chopping a climbing vine from over the front fence.. then out for the usual Jetty lunch and coffee plus a small walk on Petone beach and back to attack the Hulme..
Ive managed to outline the lower engine area in black and thats good progress..
Sold another ebay print today too... nice surprise.

I wonder how the Trains are going?

blacks aint blacks

another hours work...
the black bottom looks just black yes? but its actually layers of 4 colours, black, juniper green, dark brown and orange yellow.. Pity the camera shows just black (plus a little reflected shine) but the print will show it!

Healey Duo

Just received the Kyosho Austin Healey 3000LM today. super 1/18th diecast. Shown here with my older revell Austin Healey Bugeye model. A right pair and very nice addition to the collection.

slowly she goes boys

slow cold sunday... no comms from warwick so assumed no drawing and took Anthea out for a coffee at The Jetty and a walk on Petone beach. Afternoon spent sorting Richards Trades out and various other bits and pieces so very little drawing. Forced myself to do about an hour from 7:30 tho and more or less started some greening of the car. I think this one will take a while......

mirror mirror

once again weve not drawn together on a sunday, but this time its my fault as I have to be here for the wife.
But I got a bit of the new Hulme done.. very satisfying but mind boggling-ly delicate stuff.

Hulme again hulme again...

Couldnt resist starting this pic of Denny at Monaco 1967.
The aspect is so like my 1970 Mclaren pic that they will make a great set.

Wife is back home after just 1 night in hospital, bit dopey and sore but recovering well.

Jaguar

Anthea in hospital for ear op as I type...hope all is well... came home via the Melling Station cafe and noted warwick entrepreneurial efforts in displaying 9 of his prints under glass on the cafe tables.. Very cool..

Just picked up a brilliant new 1:18 diecast model. The Bob Jane Aussie icon racing Mk II Jaguar

Started next drawing... another Hulme pic but this time in 1967 Brabham... should be a companion piece to my M14 Mclaren work.
