Title: Wingnut Wings LVG C.VI
Post by: Ringleheim on February 12, 2018, 10:18:20 AM

Hello everyone!  This is my first completed WNW build, and first project posted at this forum!

I dedicate this build to Des Dellatore.  His tutorials were invaluable in completing the project.  Everything I know about rigging I learned from him, and this plane would not have been successfully rigged without his guidance.  RIP, Des.

Jim

     First WNW Build Jim, show us more soon! Very nicely done; clean crisp detail and some really nice shading effect. I haven't built this one yet but it's slowly working it's way to the front of the line, This will be a great example to follow! How did you shade the fuselage panel lines, "Pre or Post"??
Cheers,
Lance

Hi Lance and thanks for the compliments.

I did both!  The fuselage was painted black entirely and then a base coat of white was applied, on top of which I added oil paints to get the wood tone.  After that dried, I added some post shading with a mix of clear brown (made from Tamiya clear red, yellow, and blue) and Tamiya smoke, heavily thinned and sprayed on panel lines, etc.

I'll look forward to seeing your LVG when you get around to the build!

I am close to finished on my second WNW project now: the Pfalz D.III.  I'll post those photos as well when I'm done.

Cheers,
Jim

I love this bird.

Well done, Jim.

That is a very fine tribute to a wonderful modeller from one who is also a first class modeller. I really like the wood finish - looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Stephen.

A truly outstanding build, I will echo the sentiments of the others with the wood tone, realistic, slightly understated and nicely done.  The shading around the panel lines highlights the wood effect.  Decal work is top notch as is the rigging.  Outstamdomg work overall.
