Squito2340 116 Posted April 22, 2013 Whilst waiting for the oils to dry on the Ninak, I thought I'd have a quick go at a DH-2 just to increase my insanity in rigging. So here goes. I'm a little down the track with this one just because I didn't quite know how it would turn out. The difference being in the painting evolution of the wings. Thought I'd pre-colour in a wood tone to emphasise the framework then do the usual process of linen and smoke. I think the idea worked. The wings have yet to be weathered as does the cockpit being finished off but I thought I'd just share some of the experimentation so far. I think , in order to match the pictures in the instructions I'm going to have to create a stippling effect. Any thoughts in this direction from any of you would be welcome. 2 MARU5137 and Qvarre reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimW 1,096 Posted April 22, 2013 Very nice effects! Tim W. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Out2gtcha 26,539 Posted April 22, 2013 Great start! It really is a great kit and I recently finished mine. It was my first foray into WWI as well as WnW. It was a super rewarding experience and Im really looking forward to your progress as well as getting back to another WnW kit myself! It went together like a dream.................just be careful and follow the rigging instructions as you'll need to rig the main wing box before putting on the spindly rear fuse assembly. Cheers!

Squito2340 116 Posted April 22, 2013 Brian, Your build is the reason for why I started mine. It was simply exquisite. The detail, painting and overall look is stunning. Thanks for the tips Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolf Buddee 3,825 Posted April 22, 2013 Nice start Jeremy. I have this one in the stash as well and I too found Brian's build extremely informative and inspirational. One question though, is there such a thing as having a "quick" go at a DH.2? Cheers, Wolf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squito2340 116 Posted April 22, 2013 Good call.... The first part was quick..... It's not often you build a kit where the a painting takes less time than the rest of it but in this case I'd have to say the easy bit' s almost done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Squito2340 116 Posted May 19, 2013 Thanks Marius All good . Busy with work...and haven't been able to do much lately. Soon another post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squito2340 116 Posted May 24, 2013 In many ways I agree with you Marius. PC10 is a hard one . Can't and won't say I'm an expert. By the time is dusted up , washed and faded I hope that I'll get some brown muddy tones into the surface which should more closely resemble what I interpret it as. I've e got a 1/4 scale pup n the go which should have the same sort of tones and hopefully it'll look good in the air when I'm finished. It's easy compared to the finese of a scale model. Super glue, balsa, a straight edge and a right angle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
