i started this one probably 2 years ago,finished it then it hit the floor and hasnt been touched for some time. i updated some details,repaired damage and re-assembled/rigged her over the last month or so. i have been working so much havent had time for much modelling but have for some time wanted to complete this guy. mostly an oob situation . everthing is hand painted(no airbrush) including the woodgrain which is my own oddball hybrid method. comments more than welcomed.

Absolutely gorgeous, Scott! Funny, I'm working on one of these at the moment.
Cheers,
Bud

Very nicely done. Glad you were able to rescue her.
-
That's a real beauty, Scott, and a testament to your recovery skills. I'd have never guessed it had suffered a mishap. Outstanding brushwork, as well. Bravo!

You can see the scars especially in the photos but I don't care it looks decent on the shelf. I just noticed a couple things I need to do.1st I forgot the 2 rigging lines from the nose to the bottom of the interplanes. Also the tail skid was snapped I replaced it but forgot I still have to wrap the cord/bungee around the base. I did also add a copper wire as a line to the aux tank in the upper wing. It comes out of the port forward fuselage right in front of the combing. the fabric effect on the wings was achieved by many layers of brushed paint at opposing angles in conjunction matt cotes along with multiple washes and different colors of dry brushing.

Very nice! I really like the metal swirls.
-
Really nice model Scott. Your "woodwork" is outstanding and the metal work as well. Nice rescue, She's a real beauty!
Cheers,
Lance

Great model. Love the woodgrain and the warm, rich colours. Outstanding.
Bye,

This is excellent!!
-
Right, it is great to see you finished one! Very fine build, save included! A good old school is showing, handpaint looks much better then many airbrushing cases. Congratulations, Scott.
-
Wow, how good that you saved it, I would never have seen any scars on it. That I call resurrection! Very convincing wood and linnen effects!

I have to say I am in awe of your modelling skills with this especially the brush work. Fantastic.
-
This is a great model, Scott! There are some beautiful effects in your paintwork, the wings especially show a fine and delicate touch - more power to your brush! Very convincing textures and a realistic feel, I like it very, very much... All The Best, Marc
-
Thank you gentlemen it's nice to have appreciation from such a talented group of modellers.
-
Wow, very nice to see this one! The different textures (wood, metal, leather & fabric) are all very well represented. With a brush, no less! Not even spray bomb clear?

Gotta agree with all the above comments !!!

Extremely well done Scott, the hand painting is testimony to your exquisite modeling skills especially the wood effect on the fuselage, a stunning looking model.

I have just returned from visiting relatives and had been thinking that we had not heard much from you lately. Now I know why - you have been secretly getting this one ready to stun us all. The metal swirls and woodgrain effects are something to die for - so difficult to get right but you have mastered both. I struggle to see the repaired damage, but because you know where to look it will of course be obvious to you. That is a model for the front of the cabinet without a doubt.

No Steve i did use rattlecan dullcote. This unified everything they I for instance painted a vote of future to shine up the leather which was layered using 4 Brown and red Brown times. and I have a oil/grease mix made from thinned Tamiya smoke with burnt umber acrylic paint added to make a realistic oily tone for the engine. To me these subtle things go far to simulate realism.
-
I have to agree with all of the others. A real beuty for sure! The wood grain, fabric weathering, and metal swirls all stand out! Terrific Modeling Scott!

I have to echo all said above - especially the work on the metal cowling and woodgrain - great job!!
Cheers,
Gary
-
thanks guys appreciate it. also gary just realized not too long ago i have a handful of osprey armor books you wrote. nice stuff.
-
Very nice Scott,
Hats off to you for the brushwork. I particularly like the faded cross effect on the top wing :D
Guy
-
Thanks guy. I kinda proud of the fabric effect as well as the wood.
-
EXCELLENT! I especially like your woodgrain, weathered fabric and metal cowling
Highest regards
