Sopwith Triplane Wingnut Wings 1/32


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, just thought I'd post a few pics of my latest attempt.

It was really enjoyable from start to finish and took about 3 months, I do like to be a bit slow and methodical. I'm still very much making it up as I go along when it comes to certain aspects like weathering and trying to make wood look real.

There was quite a bit of rigging on this build but I do enjoy doing it and it is quite therapeutic and satisfying when done. I am still fifty fifty over whether to get an airbrush but am happy with the results of my brush painting. I feel as long as you enjoy it and like your own work that's all that matters.

This particular kit came with the Raymond Collishaw figure but as yet I haven't attempted to paint a figure, I don't think I could do the man justice.

This is my first attempt at trying to give a look of stretched fabric over the struts. I just shaded them with a brown pencil and I think it looks ok(ish). Though of course nowhere near as good as some of the amazing work on this site.

Apologies for the pics, I can never quite master taking a photo.

Would love to hear what the good people on hear think.

 

Thanks for looking, Martin

That is lovely Martin,  an all round very good job, especially with the rigging.

Whats next on the bench?

 

Cheers

Thank you for the comments chaps. I've had a rough couple of years and as silly as it sounds, it really gives me a lift to see some nice feedback. Thank you.

 

John, as for what's next, that's always a question to ponder. The stash grows and grows. Pixies seem to keep adding to my Wingnut wings collection whilst I sleep. 

I might build my HMS Victory, or my 1/24 Mosquito, or my Wingnut Stahltaube, always a bit of a dilemma trying to pick one.

 

All the best, Martin
