"Grumman F4F-3 and F4F-4 Wildcat profiles"

by "Edward Grabot"
--------------------

Steve Bamford will insert full sized version of photo 01.jpg here

After being "let go" from a local sign company a month before Christmas, I 
decided to do a profile of a Grumman F4F-3 Wildcat in between job hunting 
activities. It is based on a B&W photo of Lt. O'Hare in the cockpit of a 
F4F-3 (about 1942) with F-3 on the fuselage. I used the Adobe CS suite on a 
Mac with OS X.
Thank you,

Here is Lt. Stanley "Swede" Vejtasa's F4F-4. It is based off of my first 
profile, with many improvements as suggested by the various comments on my 
first profile. Somethings I didn't remedy because I wanted to gain a little 
more confidence before trying. This is my second profile. I use Adobe CS, 
Wacom Graphire tablet and done on a Mac with OSX. I'm basing this profile a 
partial photo and another artists rendering(The latter always being a 
dangerous practice!) I did not weather this one as I had said I would. Will 
get to weathering some other time.
Thank you,
