urm.... I might need to re think the gunner figure for the W.12, I had not appreciated quite how deep the rear cockpit is. The sitting gunner only sees his head peeking above the coaming. I'm thinking that I might need to order the CSM standing figure from the Gotha crew who should fit in well. The good news is I can carry on with the build as either figure can be installed after the fuselage halves are joined, unlike the pilot.





Thoughts ?

Always great to see pilots in the seat.  It really completes the picture for me.  Keeping an eye on your progress.  Thanks

While I pluck up courage to join the two kit fuselarge halves together I spent a little time playing with the oils and started to refine this one.

Looks great already, Pete!
You are truly an artist in both areas of expertise. I can`t wait till another update of both the model and painting.

Pretty much all the cockpit components are now ready to go, and the pilot is glued into his seat.
Aviattic naval hex and linen decals arrived during the week so I need to experiment with them.





and a bit more on canvas.



Filip - cheers for your kind words.

Extraordinary work, Pete, on the pilot, the plane and the painting!
Cheers,

Love the painting.  The model is coming along great, too.

Slow progress, but I've pretty much got the palette colours nailed, so now I just need to create form and adjust values. I'll add either a second W.12 or perhaps a ship of some sort to pay lip service to some kind of composition

Further progress and now onto the detailing, although something about the leading edge of the upper wing is still bugging me.

Quite a bit has been re-worked since last time but with the exception of a couple of bracing wires, which I'll add when things are dry, I'm calling this one complete.
Hansa-Brandenburg W.12
Oil on panel
12" x 6"



This piece along with the previous Short-184 are available as a pair "Estuary Foes"



Now I must get on with the WnW W.12

What a striking pair of pictures. The model and especially the figures look pretty smart too. Just wish that I could paint as well as this.
