Wolf Buddee Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Thanks Will. I can only hope everything else looks huge! That would definitely make it easier on the ol' eyes, LOL. Cheers, Wolf
guy5y Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Stupendous weathering and texture on the forceps! When are you going to finish the engine? (Ducks,runs like hell,and blames Grant)
Wolf Buddee Posted March 6, 2013 Author Posted March 6, 2013 Stupendous weathering and texture on the forceps! When are you going to finish the engine? (Ducks,runs like hell,and blames Grant)Thanks Guy, LOL! The engine will be finished as soon as I remove the weathered and textured forceps. Actually after looking at a couple of pics of completed DVIIs I've decided that the lines running from the air pump needed to be added as they are clearly visible even with all the cowl panels on. Just a little more work. Cheers, Wolf
A.Wolf Grant Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Stupendous weathering and texture on the forceps! When are you going to finish the engine? (Ducks,runs like hell,and blames Grant) HEY !!! I've taught you well Padowan - guy5y is your new Jedi name! Wolf sir, you engine it fabulous. Love it, love it. I really must have a punt at one of these WnW kits - I got too many Roden kits to sell first (curse you Red Jackson Baron !) << waves fist at the sky >> Grant.
guy5y Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Smacks head on table re finished engine. I THOUGHT I was joking. You snowed in over there with time to kill? If I may say in my best English.... "Bloody fabulous old boy"

If I may say in my best English.... "Bloody fabulous old boy"LOL!! Thanks again. I knew you were joking Guy and believe me I appreciated the humour! Adding the additional air lines is purely a case of AMS (advanced modeller's syndrome). They're done now so the engine is officially finished. Cheers, Wolf
ChuckT Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Looking fantastic as always Wolfe. I can't wait for the next update, Chuck.

LSP_K2 Posted March 19, 2013 Posted March 19, 2013 This has to be one of the best looking D.VII's I've seen to date. Just beautiful workmanship.
Wolf Buddee Posted March 19, 2013 Author Posted March 19, 2013 This has to be one of the best looking D.VII's I've seen to date. Just beautiful workmanship. Thanks Kevin, this is a brilliant kit and it needs care to assemble but it's definitely one of the nicest WWI kits on the market. Cheers, Wolf This thing looks like its about ready to fire up. The realism is unbelievable.well done on your fine work. Thanks Jeremy, kind words. Hopefully I'll have some more pics to post soon. I've managed to get a bit more work done but haven't taken any photos. Cheers, Wolf
Wolf Buddee Posted March 20, 2013 Author Posted March 20, 2013 I've been busy workin' on the Fokker and I finally got the engine installed in to the mounting framework. It took a little bit of fettling with the engine to get it sitting true in the framework but nothing to bad at all. Once I had that done I closed the fuselage halves around the cockpit module and everything went together great. I had a couple of spots on the fuselage spine that needed attention with a little bit of Mr. Surfacer 500 primarily at the sprue attachment points. The rest fit with perfection requiring only a light bit of sanding. Then, out came the paint and most of the parts requiring yellow paint were primed with Tamiya's fine white Primer. After the primer was good and dry and any rough spots polished out the parts were sprayed with Humbrol Enamel #24 Matt Yellow. I've left the yeller paint to dry for a couple of days and if it looks like its completely set tomorrow I'll give it a light spray of Tamiya's semi-gloss clear. Lots to do yet but it's coming along nicely I think. The more I work on this model the more impressed I am with the kit. I'll definitely be sending WnWs more money when the DVII F is released! Cheers, Wolf
geedubelyer Posted March 20, 2013 Posted March 20, 2013 (edited) Wolf, I found myself grinning widly with awe looking at your latest pics. Not only do you display some of the deftest paintwork in the game, your photography is incredible too. That last image is an absolute joy to behold. The combination of colours, textures and detail takes my breath away. If you'd already applied the lozenge decals to the outside of the fuselage I would have sworn I was looking at real cloth! The faded effect of the interior lozenge decal is perfect and combined with the various details of the cockpit looks amazing plus, that engine is a work of art in itself. Astonishing. Great work.
