A few of my recent work
« on: March 23, 2021, 07:41:58 AM »
Dear all,

Thought I would share a few of my recent WW1 builds whilst I was away. 

First up, WNW Sopwith Pup Gnome







1/48 Special Hobby Phonix DI









Airfix 1/72 BE2c







I don't use an airbrush so all my models are brush painted

Regards

Nice work in ALL :o scales! That it impressive, because I think that the techniques are a bit different from 1/72 to 1/32.

Cheers,

Dave,

Nice work all around.  ...and in 3 different scales ?!?   My favorite is the Phonix DI - that's a pretty cool paint scheme.  The skull and cross bones looks pretty crazy =).

Fantastic work Dave and I especially like the Be2c, what a gem!

And extra applause to you for being a brush painter. As a fellow brush painter I can appreciate how you have achieved your excellent finishes.

Cheers

Wow, I never saw so perfectly brush-painted models. Just great!

Nice models Dave  ;)

What did you use for rigging on the Pup? Looks good.

Excellent works, I'm specially impressed by the 1/72nd Be2 but I must say that brush painting a big scale model is remarkable indeed. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you all kindly - appreciated.

Guy - rigging material for the Pup is a knitting elastic called 'Pryme'  - it's flat in section so perfect for simulating RAF aerodynamic wires.  The material is also very easy (and paint) to use and is my favourite in the elastic threads available. 

VB - maybe one for you have a go at if you can get hold of this kit?!

The Pup, Phoenix, and Be are all gorgeous. The Be really catches My attention. Beautifully painted and rigged!
