Wolf Buddee Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 It'll be interesting to see how your different base colours will affect the look of your woodgrain painting. Lookin' good Kevin! Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Thanks, fellas, I appreciate it immensely. As I'd hoped, the application of raw sienna has produced a nice pecan/birch sort of feeling; close enough for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 Hhhhmmmm, pecan/birch. sounds like a yummy treat doesn't it? Not only that but it looks really good too Kevin! Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Thanks, Wolf. While this is not exactly what I had in mind, I can certainly live with it, (especially knowing that very little of it will actually be seen anyway). I have to let these dry for a while, then paint the remaining bits. Zero77 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zero77 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 This wood effect looks very good ! That's nice to see an Albatros D.III, as we see many D.V / D.Va, but not many earlier versions. It's also good to see a build of a Roden kit. Thanks for the WIP ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would tend to agree, building a WNW Albatros is a natural enough decision, but the Roden kits can look pretty cool too, with a little TLC.

Guest Peterpools Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Kev Terrific work on the interior wood - looks awesome Keep 'em coming Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 Thanks, fellas. I've now went ahead and repainted the Tuscan area to a more appropriate slope. Some dull cote, and I'll be ready to begin weathering these now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I received the beautiful WNW Mercedes today, along with some Taurus engine items. I hope for engine work to commence tomorrow. Even though I didn't order them (or pay for them), an extra set of plugs were thrown into the Taurus package, a real nice gesture. Doc Dave also very graciously sent me some goodies for this effort, so thanks very much for that, Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_K2 Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 Admittedly a puny little update, but while already using some oils last night on another project, I went ahead and completed the interior assembly painting. Now I'm ready to slap the fuselage together. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Robinson Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hi Kevin, Nice start on a subject I've always liked. I may be a bit late to the party, but regarding your question regarding wood inside vs. outside - what you see's on the outside is what you see's on the inside. You're looking at the inner side of the plywood that's covering the outside. Birch ply by nature is a very tight grained wood, and aircraft grade lumber has very few, if any knots, so no need to try to replicate knots. Hope this helps.
