Ted Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 This was a pure pleasure from start to finish. I used the recent MVR boxing for this build and one of the schemes from the kit. It's rigged with ezline without turnbuckles. The plywood was my favourite part, I sprayed the panels three different acrylic colours, then used thinned oil paints to wiggle the grain on. It's the first ww1 airplane model I've done that I haven't been embarrassed to show the underside. I'll post more pictures of the figure in the Figure modelling section. 38 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bear Paw Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Great build, and I think ezline with out turnbuckles is the way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Posted March 20, 2020 Author Share Posted March 20, 2020 Thanks a lot everyone, I was very happy with how the plywood turned out. the oil paints were really forgiving, getting the right amount of thinner involved when I scribbled the grain and then when I cleaned the brush and pushed the paint around a bit took some experimenting but had a long open time, so took some patience but it was easy to fix mistakes. Between my eyes and motor control I could not do turnbuckles, even if I wanted to. They look cool on the super-detailed builds but not what I consider fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
