Phil.Taylor Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 I dont think Mondrian ever had an elliptical phase? and I can understand why ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil.Taylor Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 The colours may or may not happen, but meanwhile - the undersides needed some tape of approximately the right colour - white just didnt look right amazing what you can find on fleabay Phil.

satinet Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I think it's a classic clean design that wants leaving like it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil.Taylor Posted January 7, 2013 Author Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yep - pure white is certainly classy & shows off the shape - I'm in no hurry to decorate it got pretty muddy last time out though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magenta.jpgI wish more people would pay attention to this detail: I'm always seeing photos of planes being flown with clashing leccy tape. Eek!

Woodstock Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 got pretty muddy last time out though There's your answer then: splash some "designer mud" all over it, and it'll cut down on time spent cleaning.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woodstock Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Ha ha, I was thinking more of the stuff the yummy mummies get splattered onto their Range Rovers over at the horse stables so as to justify the fact that they drive a huge 4X4 in central London...

Finished_1.jpgFinished_2.jpgFinished_3.jpg It'll fly as a "plain white tee" for a while - then it needs a nice new colour scheme suggestions anyone? http://www.barcs.co.uk/forums/index.php?app=core&module=attach§ion=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=1180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wookman Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Hi Phil. Time for Mondrian to go into his elliptical phase, failing that the sunburst bottom left gets my vote. Fire retardant tape to hold the wings on? Have you got some tricks up your sleeve that you are telling us about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shedofdread Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 What about one of those fake sponsorship-style liveries? They seemed all the rage a while ago for one's Stingray. My twist on that theme would be to look for slightly 'off colour' businesses to 'sponsor' my aeroplane. But then my humour isn't to everyone's taste... Maybe a 'suggest a sponsor' competition could be amusing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil.Taylor Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Ellipses get more interesting when you stack them & shift them subtle elliptical variation on classic tip decoration: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks John - good inspiration http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Frank+Stella&hl=en&tbo=d&rlz=1R2ADFA_enGB467&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=swPsUN7BC-7M0AX8nIDYBQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAA&biw=1366&bih=593 he did one of the BMW art cars too and this one plenty of arcs in his work, but he didnt get onto ellipses either !
