Title: WNW LVG C.VI
Post by: padunham on October 21, 2014, 03:35:24 AM

I finished this back in 2009 but it hasn't been posted here before.  Crew figures are modified 1/35th Tamiya, I carved the prop from laminations of basswood, the woodgrain effect was done with colored pencil smoothed and blended with paint thinner.

That's one gorgeous LVG!  The figures are very well done and add a nice touch.

Great work on those figures! As an amateur figure painter I certainly admire what you have accomplished. The LVG is Terrific! Love your overall work!

Excellent model- the propeller is really good but the wood effect on the fuselage is really in a class of its own.

Thanks for the kind words guys.  I'm open to criticisms, if you see something I could have done better feel free to let me know.

Lovely work, padunham! Which Tamiya figures did you convert to make the excellent crew figures?

Best wishes
Nigel

Thanks for the kind words Nigel,  The Tamiya figures aren't from a specific set.  They are cobbled together from several sets and leftover bits that accumulated over the years.  The flight suits and headgear are made of putty.  The limbs and hands were chopped up and then pinned together with copper wire to get them to conform to the cockpits.

That's cool...I think I remember seeing that one in the flesh and the figures really did add dimension.

Great work!
