Post by: Gunner Mike on December 29, 2014, 09:36:33 AM

Brandenburg W.29 This will be my  first WW I in 50 years of building plastics. I’m kind of giddy.
I have separated the sprues into 2 plastic boxes, The P.E. is on one fret for both. Decals are on the same sheets and the one set of instructions cover both aircraft. I now need some EZ-line, RFC rigging and rib/ decals for the W.29. I will probably scan and copy an extra set of the instructions.
I am thinking of doing a water diorama scene, one for each.

Gunner,
Welcome to WWI modeling! You will love it and this group of modelers. So different from the other "forii". And, starting with WnW kits - shazam! Excellent.
Looking forward to your posts.

Hi Mike

Don't bother about scanning and copying the instructions, you can download them as a .pdf file direct from wingnutwings and print that. Here's a link

Happy new year
Cheers

Title: Followed advice and downloaded instructions from WNW Website. I usually put
Post by: Gunner Mike on December 30, 2014, 03:45:15 PM

together a “BUILD BOOK” of each project. I have the instructions, photos, on-line references, and comments copied and put into sheet protectors that go into a three ring binder. I have done one for the W.29 and the Felixstowe. When I complete a build, this reference book is entered into our club library where our other club members may use. I have done about 25 build books for aircraft, armor and ships.

Out here.

Now, that's a good idea. I am going to suggest it to my old "club" (group of avid
modelers who tired of the usual backbiting bs in area IPMS chapters and informally formed our own. The FASM — Folsom Area Scale Modelers). In fact, I'm going to start one with my Roland C.II build.

Thanks, Mike
