Title: WNW LVG.CVI Eleynor
Post by: mgunns on April 08, 2013, 07:06:58 AM

Okay folks, it's finally finished.  I took some pictures of it on the old set of the "Red Pony".  A horrible movie but the set was still useful.

Some of the 'white grass' has gone and there is a real sense of spring in the air.

You can see the Doug Craner prop.  I went over it with a very thin wash of Future and Tamiya orange.  I am happy with it and will order more from him.  Great service, reasonable price and outstanding product.

You can see the flare rack and a bit of the "office".

I am calling this one finished.

Thanks for all the comments and scoping it out during the build.

Mark

Simply stunning, Mark!  You really nailed the wood grain and that prop is just the icing on the cake.

Congratulations on another beautiful Build, Mark. Great detail, outstanding wood "treatment" and again, that lozenge work is spectacular in it's realism. Looking forward to following your HC Camel adventures.

Hello Lance:

Thanks for stopping by and scoping it out, I appreciate your comments, always welcome.  I am not going to do much with HC Camel, other than build it, a little, and very little, work in the cockpit.  I just want a representative Camel on the shelf to go with the other Sopwith a/c I have.

Stay tuned.

Best

Mark

Mark,

Excellent!!

I especially like the tone of your wood painting to the fuselage - very convincing.

What next up on your workbench, mate?

Thanks Chris, Dave, and Kryzsiek:  It was a fun build; except for all that lozenge and striping.  If I do another one, it will be the one with the camouflage wings.  I apprecaite all of you stopping by and your comments.
Working on the Hobby Craft 1/32nd Camel.  Nothing major or showstopping.
