Martin Ford Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hi all. I've been a member here for a while and up to now haven't contributed any pics. Have been a bit nervous as a lot of the builds on here are top class. I was quite happy with this build so thought I'd post some pics. There's a ton of errors, had trouble painting the Tamiya acrylic, lost a foot plate to the carpet monster but really enjoyed building it. I loved doing the rigging, found it therapeutic in a way, satisfying when you let go of the tweezers and see it done. I apologise for the standard of pics, am a bit of a novice with a camera. Thanks for looking. Cheers all, Martin 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hello, Martin - Your WNW Fok EIII eindecker looks pretty good to me - and we all mistakes in our builds (I'm making plenty on my current project!) so don't worry about it.

DaveyGair Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Looks Ok to me Martin, I've messed up a few things on my near-first completed WnW's Camel build over on the RAF 100 years GB, all my impatient-self fault! They go together great though and have a few to build. Davey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take care with the large roundels! Did the crosses go on OK, and what did you use for Rigging? Davey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Very tidy build Martin, she looks spectacular. I guess that having built 1 Wingnut Wings kit you'll be hooked now! What's next on the bench? Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got one of the crosses a bit skew whiff on the underside, hence no pics 😉 I used knitting in elastic by strick elastic, it's maybe a bit white in colour but I tried to dab some Ali paint on the lines to dull them a bit.

Oh I'm very much hooked, have 7 others in my stash, I first bought an FE.2B but I'm saving that as the rigging diagram makes my head spin. I'm currently making Camel Clerget and loving every minute of it ☺ Thanks again, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i mentioned above, i find the rigging quite calming, although admittedly I haven't done any too challenging jobs. Cheers, Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 No reason to be nervous with that build. There are only two things in life to be nervous about; the first, Plymouth and secondly entering a Morrisons outlet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
