melvyn hiscock Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 That is a nice looking model and really gets the look of the real thing.

melvyn hiscock Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Sadly the link that I put up didn't like to the Voisin page on the Memorial Flight page but the index. There are photos on there, and photos of the original before restoration, that show brown and green paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is why I used everything I found on the Memorial Flight website http://memorial.flight.free.fr/indexuk.html But until now , I have not seen first world war images of Voisin X in green and brown with a cannon. This does not contradict their research work of course. Best regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) Hello. Figurine: I used "FIMO" paste found in all graphic art shops or in some supermarkets. It's sold in small quantities and it's cheap. The goal was to get something resembling the man sitting on the wheel. The suit, very wide, with the helmet . The first version of the head, too big with a nose too low: The helmet is a German helmet (2ww) reworked and modified with 2 components Tamiya mastics which is very easy to model. The new, more classic head: With the woolen hood that stings: All dark parts are in 2 component Tamiya Mastics. I admit that for once I am pretty happy with the result.

Sprueloose Posted April 30, 2017 Share Posted April 30, 2017 Superb! He makes a fitting companion to your gorgeous aircraft! I have gone back through you build several times, it is such a pleasure! Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 (edited) Hello! I wanted to make a scene with a lot of gas in front of the plane. Alas it is too long to manufacture and very very boring. that serve as a buffer. The white line is a piece of decal. The posters on the boxes are paper copies. The circular hollows on both sides of the can is made with an old steel rod and a hammer blow. The Benzo brand is made with two small plastic rods Mr. Eduard (or M. Copper State, or M. Renaissance), if you read our montages sometimes, you could make pretty cans and wooden boxes. It would not cost you anything to design them and there are blue, yellow, red, long, short, cubic, ... enough to make many different versions in one box. And if you can make them in resin it would be better. Cans Benzo box Regards. Huberlu Edited January 14, 2018 by Louis 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
