Der Fuehrer's Face....

[ties70]

....this happens when you have too much time (my wife is in Baltimore this week)...

My version of Disney's "der Fuehrer's Face". I thought it would be great for a bomber nose art, so I got me some canvas and started my version of a planes side panel...

It is completely hand made, no airbrush...I have tried some "weathering techniques" from scale modelling, and for the bombs and letters I have made some templates.

Wonderful Ties > the rivets looks realistic from a distance

That is amazing work. Wish I had the talent.

That is brilliant. Are you planning to frame it somehow?

Ties, you know if you had kids there'd be no such thing as spare time....

 

[dmar836]

Awesome! That would go great in someone's war room! Do you have a model room where you could hang it?

Guys, thanks for the feedback...

I wish I had room for all my stuff.
Right now, a lot of the patches I have made so far were framed and are hanging in my wife's home office...."der Fuehrer's Face" is a different story, though: She has told me that showing pictures of Hitler, no matter what style, is an absolute "No". I painted it anyway....even without a place to hang it...

Gee, she's a bit sensitive isn't she? :lol:

Seriously though I suspect you won't have any trouble finding a home for it.

She is a teacher, and one of her subjects is history....as a teacher in Germany you are a public servant, so you don't want to give the impression that you "play" something like the 3rd Reich "down"....

Beautiful work Ties, you've a real talent for this. I must get my patch choices sorted out for you before the demand for your skills increases!

 

[deand]

Very well done! Refusal to hang from the spouse equals suffering for your art! The great ones must!

From the painting, I think that constituted "playing down" Hitler. Germans, understandably, have quite a different perspective of WWII.

It should probably be displayed proudly in my motorcycle garage!! What size is it?

I hear you Ties. My wife would think the same.

Great job on it though.
