Title: Hello from Wisconsin
Post by: Kreston on July 23, 2013, 03:08:27 PM

My name is Kreston Peckham and I am a long time figure painter and closet WWI aircraft buff.  Finally decided to take the plunge into the WNW world and am currently working on their DVII (Fokker).  I am using a set of Aviattic lozenge decals and have the Master Model Spandau maching gun set.  I am really looking forward to spending time here.  I have attached some pictures of some of my WWI figure work.

Thanks for the kind welcome.  Not much to show on my DVII yet, so here are a few more of my figures.

Thanks!  As I work on the cockpit for my DVII I am also putting together a PowerPoint on figure painting, weathering, and other effects using oil paints for a seminar I am giving at the MMSI Chicago Show in October.
