kkarlsen Posted January 14, 2019 Author Share Posted January 14, 2019 It's time for a little update. Been working on the wings on an off, trying to get an acceptable finish before painting. So I'm starting to add some wood grain to the spars and ribs, keeping it light. I intend to use Uschi von der Rosten veneer decals for the leading edges of the wings...

Thank you Thomas, I'm struggling a bit with the fragile parts, this project has really brought me to the edges of my skills and a little further too, way beyond my comfort zone...

DonH Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Yep, that's great work on the wood grain. I will be interested to see how you get on with the wood grain decals. That's way beyond my comfort zone for sure. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Lovely efforts going on here Kent. I’m also looking forward to the wood grain L.E. Troy kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers: Kent I tried Ushi's 'original' wood decals and it worked out great - I expect the new version to be better still... kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers: Kent Don't avoid them on my account. I don't fancy them but that is because I have trouble getting a roundel decal to sit on a wing! kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trak-Tor Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Excellent, Kent! I'm sure you can master the decals too. If you can't do that, they would be useless, wouldn't they? Juraj kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fvdm Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Awesome work Kent. If you don't have problems with decals i expect you don't get problems with the wooddecals. Just go for it. kkarlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkarlsen Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Working on the Oberursel engine... Different stages of the engine detailing, spark plugs + scratched lifter arms. Engines are painted with 'oily steel' dark/black wash + 'fresh engine oil' - Exhaust pipes are painted with Alclad exhaust manifold. Cheers: Kent D.B.

BiggTim Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 Very nice! So how did you do the different "stage" shots in the same frame without multiples? D.B. Andrus, kkarlsen and Trak-Tor 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsk, tsk, I found it funny to display the work like this. I'm actually doing five engines at one time, for a larger 'Flying Circus' project...
