So, I've been persuaded to do a Bf110 rudder or two.  Thanks to one of the experts I've met on Facebook, Fernando Estanislau, co-author of several excellent titles that feature art and technical details of the Bf-110, I've been able to get accurate size details.  The 110 rudders weren't that much larger than the 109, but once you see them both, it feels MUCH larger. 
First, several panels are being created that show the incredible diversity of artwork found on the 109 and 190s in the Luftwaffe.  That's what attracts many of our eyeballs -  so much  cool stuff to see on a ferocious fighter. 

Starting on a commission piece -  for a fan of the Pik-As squadron - a full sized panel from the desert!

Rain, Rain, go away!  The Pungo Airshow this past weekend was trapped by a pesky system that would not go away until the grass strip was too saturated for the fighters on the ramp to get airborne.  Too bad, and the crowd knew it.  They sensed the weekend would disappoint, and it did.  Of course, the warbirds were available for close ups and pictures, but there's nothing like a great flying weekend to make spirits soar!  
Needless to say, the light crowd size impacted the numbers of collectors, but it was still  a great weekend, seeing old friends, making new connections, and sharing stories, news, and lots of laughs!  

2 new items on the bench, about halfway to completion -  I don't have a specific scheme in mind yet, so if you think you'd like a commission, this is good timing for you!   What about Clausen, or Graf, or Dahmer?  

Completing 2 rudders for a Turkish buyer -  Sigfried Schnell's FW190 rudder and Heinz Bar's Bf109 rudder.  This buyer has also picked up several panels.  Also, looking at Clausen's FW rudder as a possible next project.
A Hackl rudder is complete, and being mailed to its new owner in CA.  

3 major projects completed for Christmas, all commission pieces.  the highlight was covering and painting a bona-fide 190 rudder in the colors of Sigfried Schnell.  What was surprising was how heavy that rudder was -  it had steel bars along the front edge, which reportedly provide some counterweight to aero forces in flight.  Finishing that item was a delight, as it belongs to a major collector in the area.
I have a number of rudders that are completed and ready to go, and am always available for commissions.
Also have been working on several panels, with squadron emblem art.  Keep your eyes peeled for these.  Several 190 panels were signed by 2 Luftwaffe pilots from CA.

FInished 2 FW190 Panels, go take a look at the tab "Panels and Emblems" on this website.  Both are available for sale, and could ship out quickly.  Where else could you find some bona fide FW plate with some impressive artwork on them?
Project that is awaiting start is a re-covering and painting of an authentic FW190 rudder, and I'll keep you posted on progress.  

June 2016 -  I've secured a source of FW190 panels, and will be rolling them out shortly.  I intend to put staffel badges on them, as these badges were very cool and very unique.  Look for those in the next few weeks.
We are going to start advertising in some major aviation publications, specifically Flight Journal, so look for the ads!

Tall Tails are coming!  Also, the Butcher Bird will make an appearance, with another round of Ace-inspired art.  Expected completion in mid December.  UPDATE-  December activities have taken more time than expected, but will post new items & photos within a week.
