Back again. Been a while but I worked up the courage to start this fella.
Hope I can remember how to do this picture thing again . . . Doh!

Your picture thing is working perfectly Dave, as is your model.

Great detailing, looking forward to your progress!

This will be an honour to watch. Especially seeing these details on Beardmore...

I remember trying to add details to a Beardmore - you have done a really good job on yours. Looks just like the real thing!

Masking a wing is a bit tedious, but the shading is a task on its own.
Hopefully I can remember what I used to do as I (went to the dark side twice)
A Zero and Corsair  . . . . . Always preferred the planes you could see the guts of   :)

Now that's a great bit of masking. It will be well worth all the work. I so wish I had gone to this much trouble on my build.

Now the result . . . . Low air pressure with the first nozzle taken off of the airbrush.
Time consuming, but worth it, only taking off all that tape is  . . . fun . . . Yeah right.

Great work. The engine looks awesome.

Awesome work on the engine and wing pre shading! This should be an Excellent build to follow along with!

The shading on the bottom of the top wing to begin with.
So much tape . . . . I build quite slowly lads, so bit by bit.
Cheers.

Forgot the fuzzy shadows for the roundels on the top.
Sorted . . . . :-)

Slowly but surely wins every time. All that masking was well worth the effort, the structure is beautifully suggested. I have taken notes and will follow your example on my next project.

Low pressure air (10psi) and 50/50 acrylic to thinner. Plus a steady hand.
And . . . artistic license. But if you are happy with the result, then its right.
Happy Days.

Told you I was slow :-) One wing finished and slightly weathered. Pics not all that great
will try again, just to prove the shading comes through. Cheers.

Looks amazing.  I'm doing an FE2 at the moment too, so it is very nice to be able to watch and learn.  Great stuff!

Its got wings now. Two bottom ones, and some struts, and eyelets for the
rigging (eventually). Bit of a mission this beastie.
Title: Re: WNW FE2b
Post by: KONG on August 11, 2021, 02:57:49 PM
And another two for good measure. The file size is very prohibitive.
I dont go near the ******* Photobucket.

Amazing work. The wings are incredible!
By the way: If the tiny photobucket images are getting you down, I can recommend Imgur as a user friendly alternative.  I’ve been using it for several years now and it has been very good.
