Post by: michael on April 23, 2013, 12:00:41 AM: this is what i am planning on being my next project

using the pheon decal set.

I seen it and the first thing that crossed my mind was that it looked like a ferrari :)

It may be a while till i actually get started as i am collecting paints and so on before i start.

what i am thinking of doing is having a go with some Gaspatch turnbuckles, so would i be right in thinking it's the TB 01 type i need for a Pflaz?

many thanks

Michael

most of the cockpit done just need to do a bit of a pin wash here and there.

Post by: Ernie on August 04, 2013, 01:38:27 AM: Michael, I neglected to mention how much I like your wood effects in
the cockpit. How did you come up with that look? The cockpit as a whole
is looking first rate!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
Title: Re: wnw Pflaz D.IIIa with pheon decals....
Post by: michael on August 05, 2013, 03:23:23 AM: once again many thanks for the kind words guys i'm blown away by them :)

Steve for the metal tones i have been using mr. metal colours all the rest are tamiya.

Ernie, the wood look is the basic look described on here loads of times - it's where i learned it ;)

basically i paint the part in a buff colour e.g tamiya deck tan - leave to dry, then brush over some burnt umber oil paint then get a fairly stiff brush and run it over the oil paint to create the wood grain effect. then leave to dry which can be the worst part as it takes ages ;D

hope that helps you Ernie

cheers
