I used acrylic paints from the "Warhammers"
line, and markers for some of the fine details.
Goggles are made from fine copper wire, bent to
the desired shape and then painted. You might
also add clear cellophane for lenses.
Other
accessories are possible, such as cigars, pipes,
monacles, scarves, etc. Use your imagination and
have fun!
Editor's Note:
To help fuel your imagination and provide
concrete examples to work from, Small Flying
Arts has added the images below. Each pilot
photo is from WWI or earlier.
