Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Hello I have been looking for a set of Fish Scale decals for a WNW Roland C.II Walfisch. Are there any made to date? As I have seen this lovey work today on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/115991888428471/ https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xpt1/v/t1.0-9/12241267_10153385978399247_108015030566513103_n.jpg?oh=116e356721ebfb5fcdb2452c10bd60ad&oe=56B64C89 Cheers Danny Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seiran01 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 No decals available, James cut out 600 little masks from tape to be able to depict the fish scheme. He's only been building models for a year or so also, it's absolutely stunning what he's achieved in that time! scvrobeson, Vandy 1 VX 4 and Zero77 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasta 14 addict Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 James is a great guy, and a very talented modeler. I'm a big fan of his work. Greetz Danny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seiran01 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 He's got it going on the Wingnut Wings Fans page on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/115991888428471/) and I think also over on LSM in the wingnut 2-seater group build.

vince14 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 (edited) Given that he's already been caught at least once trying to pass off other people's work as his own, I'm inclined to treat anything James claims as his with a degree of scepticism.

Whoah big statement!! Can you back it up? mammut08 and Alburymodeler 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vince14 Posted November 23, 2015 Share Posted November 23, 2015 Whoah big statement!! Can you back it up? Yes, on the WNW Fans Facebook page he claimed he'd created a template for painting laminated props when he'd actually used one created by our very own Mammut08. He was called out on it, back tracked, and subsequently claimed that he'd come up with the idea himself (albeit many months after Mammut08's post) in complete isolation - but from the pictures, it's clear he's using Mammut08's template. Mammut08's template (from http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?s=b5fab34b4e830a6a1a3c91b49e9ad32a&showtopic=46935&page=3&do=findComment&comment=531080) James's picture from FB (from https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.1049649171729400&type=1) Now you're entitled to make your own judgement, but I find it highly unlikely that an apparent novice modeller (he claims he's only been building for a year or so) would be able to create such a template in isolation - especially one which seems to have exactly the same line weighting as Mammut08's template. I'm sure he's a nice guy, but I'm personally not convinced that someone with so little modelling experience can create some of the real masterpieces he's presenting, and how (in less than two years) he's become an 'expert' on all things WWI aviation related. To my mind, something just doesn't add up. Zero77 and mammut08 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vandy 1 VX 4 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 There are decals for the Brisfish, though. Maybe I should ask this. What WNW Bristol F.2B would be the best kit for the above decals? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
