LSP_Kevin Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Thank's Kev. And a very simple technique that everybody can use. You're too humble mate, I obviously need to practise more! Kev Joel_W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimW Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I've built both FE's, early and late. It's one of the coolest WNW kits, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasta 14 addict Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 You're too humble mate, I obviously need to practise more! Kev I will take a look, if i can make a video of the WIP regarding this technique. It's not really easy to explain in word's and photo's. Moving images will explain much more. When i have the time i soon will make one. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometime when I am really really brave I'll have a go at WnW............ Thank's Phil for the nice comment. Just tackle one, those WNW kit's are jewels. Very, very nice woodgraining technique Danny and thank you for sharing. Your cockpit will be stunning when it comes together. Regards. Andy Thank's Andy Ok guy's time to show you some more WIP photo's. The oil paint is completely dried, so time to paint some details and put the cockpit together. First thing to do, glue the cockpit floor to the ammunition locker. Here you see the difference of color in the wood grain pattern. I decided to keep the fuel lines, which where running along the bulkhead under the IP. I painted the fuel lines and other details with Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics. Radiator, pilot's seat and pilot's locker where also glued. Rudder pedals, painted and glued to the cockpit floor. Instrument panel, details painted and added some decals. Finally, gunner section glued to the pilot's cockpit section. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karimb Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Danny my friend, SUPERB! Are you using a drying addon for the oils? I use blitzdry from uschi and it works a treat. Cuts down the drying time to overnight on the oils. The wood graining is really spot on. Any clear coat to the woodwork or clear yellow/orange? Thanks for the wonderful update buddy!

Joel_W Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Danny, Your variable wood graining is just spot on. Nice work on the pit so far. Looking forward to your next update. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karim Karim, thank's for the nice comment my friend. I don't use drying additives in my oil's. In this case, the part's that are done with oils must dry for over a week before they can be further painted or glued, a long time isn't it. You gave me a good idea now my friend, i think i will buy that Blitzdry additive from Ushi. Normally i will put a mat clear coat over the wood work, but at the moment the photo's where taken i didn't used one yet on the part's. With pleasure my friend, Danny, Your variable wood graining is just spot on. Nice work on the pit so far. Looking forward to your next update. Joel Thank's Joel for the nice comment.

Wolf Buddee Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Danny, she's looking fantastic so far. The wood graining looks perfect. I'm surprised though that you would overspray the woodwork with a clear flat. Wouldn't that take away from the look of the richness of the woodwork? I'd be far more inclined to go with a semi-gloss finish but I'm only asking as I've never done a woodgrain finish with oils before. I'm about to though on my Camel build. Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you are right about the flat clear use Wolf, i didn't stoot still by the possibility of the loss of richness in the wood work texture. I think it's best to do a test before i could ruin the work on the Fee. I will take a look at that possibil problem. Knock-out woodgrain!!

Jasta 14 addict Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 That is outstanding. Very nicely done! Tim W. Thank's Tim. I did some more work on the Fee's cockpit section today. I enclosed the observers and pilot's cockpit into the two wooden frame halves. Also the frontal iron framework was added to the observers section. Fuel tank and control column also. Next step, adding the instrument panel. Radiator support bars glued. Engine mount added to the wooden frame work. Rudder pedal control cables and support rigging finished. And a quick dry-fit into the two fuselage half's. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
