SCRATCH BUILDER Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have to look into W1 planes, nice work, great inspiration! LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 Thanks, replicating wood, rigging, and the fragile nature of these models are certainly the challenge of most of these machines. Great fun though! Ryan LSP_K2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Outstanding work so far especially the wood grain finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wood grain was great fun but took a few tries to get it right. Most of us know the light brown color is applied and then oil paint is streaked across to replicate grain. Sponge applicator by The 3rd Placer, on Flickr After a few failed attempts I discovered that if you applied the oil paint "dry" and then followed up with a moist brush you could get some neat effect such as seen on the floor board, gauge panel, and engine bearers.
