A fun electric remote-controlled helicopter by chinese manufacturer WL Toys. Easily maneuverable and challenging to play with, an excellent choice for a beginner. Quite affordable through Banggood, a trustworthy shopping site for electronics toys, Arduino components, gadgest, etc.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.banggood.com/WLtoys-V911-V2-V911-pro-2_4G-4CH-RC-Helicopter-New-Plug-p-86120.html">http://www.banggood.com/WLtoys-V911-V2-V911-pro-2_4G-4CH-RC-Helicopter-New-Plug-p-86120.html</a><br />
<br />
The transmitter (costing around €15 when bought alone), is compatible not only with other vehicles from the same brand but also with Frysky/Hobbyking receivers, to which one can connect different motors and servos, allowing the user to keep one transmitter for several planes/helis. However, for a more complex entry-level transmitter, the Walkera Devo 7 and the Turnigy 9x would be better choices.<br />
<br />
<b>The first video shows my first outdoors flight with the heli; the next video shows a flight of a scratch-build, 70cm wingspan glider built by myslef from insulation foam (Roofmate), using the receiver from a WL Toys F939 plane (also purchased through Banggood).</b><br />

This didn't go very well, everything gained a white-ish hue and hide all the nuances I had done with the oils. Thin coat even, I don't understand what went wrong. Ended up applying the static grass/flock and seal it all with Testor Dullcoat, the best matt varnish I've came across and which I probably wont be replacing with water based varnish after all..<br />
<br />
The end!<br />

Bought that flesh tone but it's too light, ended up using that brown and red+yellow to get something more natural to my eye. Vallejo 886+920 for the tunic and 830 for the pants looked good to me this time, my painting method is far from being rigid.<br />
<br />
Anyway, comparing my results to some paintjobs at <a href="http://bennosfiguresforum.com/index.php">Benno's Figure Forum</a>, I know this might not be that great but I had a lot of fun as usual.<br />

Long after his death, Loomis' realistic style has continued to influence popular artists. <br /><br /><br />After military service in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I">World War I</a>, Loomis worked for a couple of advertising agencies before opening his own studio in downtown Chicago. In the 1930s, he taught at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Academy_of_Art">American Academy of Art</a>. It was during this time that his teaching techniques were compiled for his first book, Fun With a Pencil, in 1939. Loomis would go on to release several more books in the coming decades, including one of his most popular, Figure Drawing for All It's Worth, in 1943. Many of the books exhibit his own personally crafted techniques - such as the "ball and plane" method of head drawing - guided by Loomis's witty and humorous dialogue. Many of the titles gained strong appeal for their rich academic value and went through several prints during the 20th century. Loomis died in 1959, but his final book, Eye of the Painter and Elements of Beauty, would be printed posthumously in 1961. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Despite their undying popularity, Loomis' books are currently most out of print, except for some excerpts available from the art publisher Walter Foster. Some of his books are currently being published in Japanese via Maar Sha Co., Ltd. Early prints have become highly collectible and sought out by art enthusiasts and practitioners. Drawing the Head and the Hands and Figure Drawing for all it's Worth have been the first two in the publisher Titan's programme of facsimile editions, returning these classic titles to print for the first time in decades. Pending reissues include "Creative Illustration" and "Fun with a Pencil" planned to be published between 2012 and 2013.</div>

<br />
The problems I found working with this polyester clear resin:<br />
<br />
- the submarine was varnished with a semi-gloss acrylic varnish, you could see an irrealistic demarcation between the surface of the sub and the "water". I believe this could have been minimized with a stronger gloss coat. <br />
- heat during polimerization attacked the edges of small most plastic parts. The resin was poured in thin layer but this even happened on parts that were barely submerged. The solution might only be to use an epoxy-resin next time, which won't release as much heat.<br />
- The resin in countact with the walls of the mold cured in a very uneven way, it would have to be sanded heavily and polished to acquire that see-through look. I believe the solution would be to use some heavy polystyrene or acrylic plastic to build the mold.<br />
- When tainting the resin with Tamiya paints (or any other), it's difficult to match their opacity, as a single extra drop produces quite a difference.<br />
- It's important to pour each layer before the preceding one has cured completely, in order for them to "blend". <br />
- It's almost impossible not to get some bubbles trapped while the resin cures. Carefull pouring and a toothpick will help getting rid of the majority but it's also important to use less catalyst and let the resin cure very slowly (this will give time for the bubbles to burst naturaly but will also reduce the generated heat).<br />
<br />

The destruction of statues like these took place frequently as the german army advanced through Europe.<br />
