modelingbob Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 (edited) This is Hobbycraft's 1/32 SPAD XIII built OOB. Done as American ace Eddie Rickenbakers crate. A pretty straightforward and easy build. This was one of the first models completed after I took a long break from modeling, so I only went with single flying wires. Model is weathered with artist's pastel pencils, which is basically a colored pencil with pastels as the lead. Very easy to use, just lightly draw on what you want highlighted/shadowed, then blend them in with a blending stump (nothing more than a conical paper pencil). Much easier than masking/painting and features great control. Comments and constructive criticism encouraged. Thanks for looking!
