wood grain added to the Albatros and the stripe is painted on the Pfalz fuselage. ( Yes the stripe should be asymmetrical

The wood adds a great deal to the Albie and the Pfalz looks great with the color chosen and the stripe.  Looking forward to your outstanding progress.

That wood looks like wood! I swear the curve of the fuselage shows a bit of grain!!! Very nice work!!!

Thanks Steve. I greatly appreciate your comments on the wood. As always I focused more on the effect of light and dark using raw sienna, burnt sienna, and burnt umber rather than a specific grain pattern.

    Nicely done Rick. You've taken on a real challenge by striving for contrast between panels on the Albie; I've done it a few times and it's a stressful little period of the Build! Are you masking between panels when adding the wood grain? I mask with a thin and "de-tacked" bit of Tamiya tape and dread that moment when the tape has to be lifted. To date it's worked very well, however .........?!
   The Pfalz is a beauty as well, this is going to be quite the pair when completed.
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks Lance. In answer to your question No Masking. Just painted some panels in a lighter shade of beige then did it all by hand. I try to do one panel at a time and start at the edge working towards the rear of the fuselage. Blend in at the front of each panel so there is not a carryover from one panel to the next. Applying the oils took Maybe an hour and a half  ( Four Days to Dry)

I just wish that I could paint wood panels to look as realistic as that. The Pfalz looks first class too. What is there not to like with this build?

Stephen.

[Bughunter]

Both are beauties - cannot decide, which I like more!
The Pfalz monoplane looks very elegant, could be a Pfalz 109
And I like your wooden fuelage of the Albatros.

Cheers,

I do think the Albatros is the quintessential Wingnut’s kit

Thanks Stephen. Having seen your work I am certain that if you get some acrylic beige and raw sienna, burnt sienna, and burnt umber oils you will do just fine!
