Fokker E.V Eduard Weekend 1/48

   The carved prop is a beautiful touch Filip. As one who does his own as well I have to ask, did you do your own laminating with veneers or was the stock small scale plywood? For 1:48 Scale your detail and finish is excellent!

Lance I use veneer to carve props, but I have to find a thinner one in order to be able to use more layers.

  What paint did you use, and how did you achieve the burnished, weathered look on those parts?

Bob I`ve used Pactra A8 Yellow Gloss and artistic oils to weather it;  raw umber and burnt sienna heavily diluted so it`s simply a wash. I used the same paints to imitate burnt castor oil staining.

Lovely stuff Filip

I just hope mine turns out as well.

No worries I`m sure yours will be better!

What a beautiful model, Filip! I have a particular liking for the E.V, and you
have done her proud.  The paint and propeller are absolutely superb work.
You are an artist, my friend!  I will be enjoying your completed photos soon
as I can!

Cheers,
Ernie

Cheers for the comments; you are spoiling me and I start to feel that you like my model 
The E.V will be in completed section for a day or two. In the meantime I scratchbuilt a refuelling equipment. I`ve found it really hard to find any pictures of aircraft refuelling, but I`v found a really nice model of the equipment from an Austrian company. Unfortunately a little bit pricey for my taste - 15 Euros, and since I`m not a fan of dioramas (due to my lack of skills) I decided to copy it. The harderst part were the wheels - I had to cut them from a sheet of plastic. The barrel was made from a pen. The hand pump is some plastic from spare box.
I tried to improve the appearance of my pilot. I repainted the face with oils. Figures are not my cup of tea I think, though if you look at it from a distance it`ll do

[RAGIII]

Your cart, and figure look great! Thanks for posting the accessories to your very nice EV!

Very nice scratch build job on the refuelling cart, I'm not sure of what they used back in those days but your cart certainly looks the part, well done.

Cart looks very nice, especially since you have done it yourself.

the oil cart's great.  Check out the photo posted under under 'dioramas' as well of a Roland C II being refuelled

Hi Philip,

Your refuelling equipment is simply suberb. It is lovely!

Kind regards

Lovely work on the fuel cart Filip. I may be "borrowing" this idea in future!
