TorbenD Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Quite wonderful Karim - your painting and finishes seem to breath such life into you models. Torben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themongoose Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Iafter looking at your work I cannot help but think there are those who build scale models and those who build WWI era aircraft! Just a beautiful build Edited December 5, 2017 by themongoose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Brilliantly done Karim! So many fine details represented in your paintwork. I absolutely love it. Have you tried GasPatch turnbuckles? They add another dimension to the rigging detail. I use them in conjunction with Bob's Buckles brass tubing and they really look fantastic. Cheers, Wolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karimb Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Awesome work as always, Karim! I would have loved to see you do a build thread on this one, but the result is suitably spectacular. Kev Thanks Kev, yes i have been a bit lazy lately not posting any work in progress. I am currently plodding away at a Camel F1 then the kit after that will be probably a work in progress here to share it with everyone. Will probably be the Taube after Mike is finished building his!

Just amazing (as usual)......Harv Harv, youre too kind my friend... alot of the aspects of the B.II ive messed up, specially the wing warp i didnt notice until too late, but to be honest it was quite an enjoyable build!

karimb Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Well. . . There are "models" and then there are "works of 3D art" This is clearly the latter!! Thanks Rob! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karimb Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 Absolutely beautiful Karim. Your a master Wingnutter for sure! I'd love to see a how to on your leather technique. Hey Tony! Thanks for leaving a word... It's quite easy to be honest. First some preshading, then a coat of red brown. Add some drops of orange to the red brown and do some mottling. A coat of highly diluted tan or sand yellow for the areas that get the most rubbing and chaffing, just a hint. A filter of red or orangish oils. Once dry, seal the deal, then a wash of brown! Hope that helped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
