Don't get PUSHY with me !

What they said! I don't weather models but with rotaries it's inevitable, and I'd be so pleased if I can achieve anything close to that! It's always good to see another update from you, Alexis!

(Also - have any other forumites seen the comedy series Schitt's Creek? Catherine O'Hara's pronunciation of the name Alexis (link) comes into my head whenever I see "our" Alexis' name!!  )

Excellent weathering Alexis! I wasn't sure about the Oil stains on the wings when I did Mine. I think I will go back and add some based on your efforts!

[Alexis]

 Schitt's Creek , that is a funny show , love it !


Thanks guys for the continuing support towards this build which really seems to be taken it's sweet time !


Alexis , you know you want to say the name !

Alexis , you know you want to say the name !

I told my wife and she was greatly amused! "Alexis, what is the latest on your Airco pusher?"

[WD]

Alexis, what's your method for recreating that staining?  Artist's oils? I'd love to know.

Good grief, I am out of it for a while and come back to some seriously good modelling here. Awesome job Alexis, well done.

[Alexis]

Well the latest so far Zac is still construction wire hoops for the rigging and gluing them in place  Nothing worth of a photo yet but progress is moving forward !  There is still a s&it load of ones to be made  Have a four day weekend so progress pic's will be coming to entertain you .

Hey WD , I don't use oils at all actually . I did the staining using Tamiya pastel chalk and Tamiya smoke . The Tamiya smoke I thinned with future finishing off with their pastel line of weather products ( Oil stain form set D ) to blend and feathering the edges .


Thanks Pete , I might have this done by the end of the year . Work and other duties keep me busy and with summer here ...


Alexis , yes she is still kicking and screaming ...who wants too know 

[Alexis]

This is very straining on the eyes and only have way done with making them . Both upper and lower top have their eyelets as well as the struts which I'm pretty sure caused slight blindness . Before I mount the top wing will do per-rigging at the wing root , easier to get in there now then later . I'm a getting there !

[KiwiZac]

Lovely work Alexis!

[Alexis]

Thanks Zac ,

Some of the per rigging is don and struts fixed in place for the top wing . Before I glue that in place I missed a few of the eyelets on the to lower side of the the top wing . Which is works outs , while I'm doing that will give time for the glue to set more . The last four outer struts will e added after the inner bays are rigged , this should give me a bit more room with out having these struts in the way .

Your DH2 is really looking awesome! All of your mods are certainly paying off Alexis!

A pleasure to see a real aeroplane model loking as good as this Alexis. Putting all of those tiny eyelets in must be testing your patience to the limit, but at least you are getting there!
