petrov27 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 fantastic - really love the wood effect and shading you have achieved! With the oil shading on the wings, did you thin the oils much or right out of the tubes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewS Posted February 10, 2014 Author Share Posted February 10, 2014 (edited) Hi! Thanks for your nice comments I've added some reinforcements on the wings that can be seen on the pictures of real aircraft. On the upper wing the crosses were repainted over the old style ones, like on the real plane (you see gray on the first picture, but after a discussion on a WWI forum I've decided that green was more probable) I've buit from scrtch the mg supports inside the cockpit (they still need some details) Now the turnbuckles: I've used the gaspatch model ones. I've added a small eyelet on one end to fix them in the holes on the wing. Gaspatch sells a type of turnbuckles with this eyelet end allready modelled, but because is a rigid part attached to the turnbuckles , you have to attache the turnbuckles to the wing allready with the right angle. With my method you have some degrees of freedom because the eyelet is non rigidly fixed to the turnbuckle. You can see also some eyelet that I'll glue to the top wing to fix the rigging wire (this plane has turnbuckles on lower wing and rigid attachment on the top wing). Below you can see how I make them. The tool that I use is a pin that I found in an old tool box, but you can create something similar with steel wire. best Andrew Edited February 10, 2014 by AndrewS Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Lund Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Seriously beautiful work. With regards to putting the decals down on an undercoat, I didn't use one for my LVG and the decals had horrible adhesion. Bought a new set and undercoatet and it was fine. So for that reason too an undercoat is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewS Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 fantastic - really love the wood effect and shading you have achieved! With the oil shading on the wings, did you thin the oils much or right out of the tubes? Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I didn't see your post... I used the oils straight from the tube. I've put them on the surface , waited few minutes and wiped away with a slight moistened brush. Some updates: I've started to paint the propeller. Acrylic base and oils on top. later I'll add a top coat with tamiya clear yellow The oils on the fuselage are dry, so I've added a clear coat to seal it and posed the decals almost ready for the final assembly I hope to do some work during the week end! bye Andrew Uilleann, elmarriachi and Uncarina 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
