Super painting job, a little tricky painting that weave huh?

Accuracy was no issue, or at least less than I had anticipated. But the fabric sucks up more paint than you would expect. So especially the white areas had to be done at least three times....

Great job! I bet it will be difficult to abuse as nice as it is but that's how it will look best. Beware future collectors!

nice work! I was wondering if you were still around. I was away for a few yrs myself doing other things. yes, I still have the Block 422a!

Senstational work as ever Ties.

By the way, I finally bit the bit the bullet and had that beautiful 530th BS patch you made years ago sewn onto my old 2008 GW Dubow. As expected I haven't worn it since but its better than sitting around in the pocket :lol:

Guys,

thank you all for the warm "Welcome back" greetings.

The reason for the quite long absence is here:

She is four years old now, but when she started walking and especially talking some years ago, my life took a complete new direction....time for flight jackets and nose art / patches was really rare.

It was replaced by having tea parties with teddy bears, building a thousand LEGO princess castles, and reading....reading...reading. Coolest thing: We do not only share the love for books, but for the same children's books as well: Richard Scarry's "Busytown"....some of you American guys will surely know him.

Liv has definitely inherited her mom's communication skills and as a friend once said "I totally love your daughter but sometimes I just want to hang around large busy construction sites, just to enjoy the silence...". Sometimes she doesn't let you keep you much energy for hobbies....

Nevertheless, I already have some plans for a tanker jacket and a B-10.

@ Andrew:
I know exactly what you are saying. I have started with "decorating" cheap M-41 repros, now this bag and the tanker jacket will be a cheap repro, too.

Best regards,

Ties

Beautiful little Daughter, Ties.
You are certainly blessed..
