Just to show the team I have depth… 
I decided to try up something new, but still keep my MAN card intact… So I reached down grabbed the boys and starting researching WWII, so with that said I now proudly present you another Linkpimp production project, hahaa… it’s SURE to be a best seller, the “Problem Child” gun case…
P.S.
TEAM questions at the bottom… I’m looking for your opinions thanks…
Link…
In the beginning…
Laying out the basic design… This is where it gets fun…
At this point I decided I didn’t like the base color and repainted it…
Starting on my very first pin-up girl…
Applying some more fill
This is what it looks like now…
Finished pic’s…
TBD…
HELP ME… how should I finish it?..
Thanks…
These are my questions to the team…. I’m looking for your feedback here…
It’s missing something (s)… I think??
It feels like its missing the following to me…
Bullet holes
Rivets
Shading under the girls legs and butt?
Do I do anything with the lettering (Problem child)? I’m thinking about shading or 3-d the letters in white or black?
Should the camels be a different color? Do I need to draw a line though them or is it just understood… (yes) I know the camels weren’t in the WWII era but they do represent today’s conflict war so I added them… (too much)??
I would like to add everything above But at the same time I don’t wont to overpower / clutter it too…
So again any thoughts would be cool…
Make the lines and rivets a little darker, and try to pain in some “Metal fatigue”
I vote for rivets and oil streaks. I’ve never seen an old airplane that did not have both.
Nice work!
Ok… that’s kinda what I thought… Rivet lines and age it with oil and dirt streaks…
Should I also add rust marks to the rivets too or is that to much?
Thanks again for your time and comments…
Link…
nice work.
Dirt but no rust, I’m pretty sure the skin and rivets are alloy.

Love the “Nose Art” motif!
The only thing that kind of stuck out was the shape of the “star” being a little off. If you can tweak that further, it will look even sharper.
Well done!
shes got too many clothes on
Nicely done. VF-31, the Felix the cat, was onboard the Lincoln when I was. I helped fix a lot of their birds during several different deployments, F-14 Tomcats.
Good job, like the othert guys said.

Seems like a snowball effect with you here. Very entertaining and inspirational.
Although I might add that here in NJ my cases will have to remain neutral for practical proposes. We have enough problems with transport issues.
I dig that! Nice work!
First and foremost… Thank you (very much to all who helped) and verry cool team, I’m glad you like it…
It’s all done…
I added the rivets, grease stains, fixed the star added the bullets holes smoke…
I really happy with how it turned out… I’m going to selling a few of these and I wanted to make sure it right…
Thank you all again so much for both your time and comments in the project…

Very very cool!
