WNW 1/32 Jeannin Stahltaube
« on: June 04, 2020, 07:19:37 AM »
Hello everybody, I built this Stahltaube as testbed for decal and adesive metal foil. It stalled for a while and I resumed within the Covid lockdown GB.
Not perfect, but I've been learning a lot (...including the need for more powerful eyeglasses  ::) )
Ciao
Giuseppe

Wow! Bellissimo e magnifico, Giuseppe.
I really love the way you have presented the metalwork.

Hello Giuseppe,
 What a magnificent representation! If I may ask, what did you use as a final top coat? To my eye the level of sheen looks perfect.
Best,
  Ed

Well done!!

Bellissimo e magnifico, Giuseppe. If you get more powerful glasses you will only be even less satisfied!

If I had produced that model I would be in heaven.... Thta is just so good that I have no words that can fully express my admiration.

Thank you everybody, you leave me speechless.


... If I may ask, what did you use as a final top coat?...

Ed, the final coat is Tamiya clear with roughly 20% flat base (X21). Except the cowling, that's Bare Metal foil (chrome), scales made with Molotow liquid chrome pen without further finishing.

Not perfect? How about absolutely beautiful? Love the way the internal structure has been suggested. This is brilliant model making!
