    Probably never as good as anything you'd put out

    Bah, don't say that!

    In fact, your profile will be easier then my example for two reasons: the Sea Fury was essentially a big tube, and there's no extended undercarriage to worry about.

    Well I'm not being entirely honest here. I made this for a canadian decal maker:



    But its clearly not up to par to what you show. I'll have to restart that one.

    He certainly has. I had a go at my first. Hours have gone into this WIP. And many, many hours more will be needed before I'm finished. Dang you Goodwood!!

    better start things in 300dpi if you want a good quality printout on your wall bigger than a stamp

    This is just to get them started m8. If they're serious about the craft, they'll go bigger.

    yup! It does take sometime to get things right. More so with research than making the art it's self.
    Here are some examples of my RE 2005 Sagittario which the original is 6368X2962 Pixels in height and with and the file is currently 43.4 mb in size.
    Once you reduce it down to a manageable size, it looks really sharp for both viewing and print ability.

    This is still a work-in-progress! I got lots to do before it's complete.

    Here is my Ki-27 Nate work. Began this over a year ago but never finished her. Working on a A6M2 now, not sure if I'll get round to her.
