Devo Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 G'day All, Finally done......... some pics of my first ever Wingnut Wings kit ( It languished for about 5 years at the closed up fuselage stage on the shelf of doom when I chickened out of continuing the build first time around). Had fun finishing it. A few firsts on this one i.e. a WW1 aircraft, rigging (that ez line is like trying to glue spider web!!), lozenge decals and trying to make a piece of grey plastic look like a wooden propeller. As is my norm, all paint applied with a hairy stick using Humbrol and Tamiya paints. Photos to my usual crappy standard. Cheers, Devo 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Bravo!! Its looks lovely. I like the fact that it looks used, but doesn't have that "old master - fine antique" patina that seems to becoming almost a cliché for WW1 Wingnut finishes. Great build Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In answer to your question "How did I get the prop looking so woody?"..........would you believe beginners luck? I based coated with Tamiya desert yellow and used different shades of brown and yellow pencils that the Mrs had stashed in a kitchen drawer, to draw my attempt at laminated wood on the prop. Couple of gloss clear coats to finish and that's how it turned out. Mega room for improvement but it'll do for this one. Cheers. Devo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
