WNW DH2

[mgunns]

Hello GCN:

Wow!  The rigging array, or disarray looks like my Gotha before it nosedived with the lamp.  It will all sort itself as you get underway.  I really like the color and the shading.  I like that lighter brown PC10 you and Dirk have on your models.  I will be taking a stab at that at the next PC10 Model I build.  I have this as well and will be watching as you progress.  I almost put a wing on backwards once, and read where a modeler put the upper wing on his Roland DVI on backwards as well.  Glad that this turned out well for you.

She's looking good, Gary.  But every time I see a build log for the DH.2, I put mine at the bottom of the build queue!  You're a braver man than me, mate, dealing with that mess of threads.

Have fun, Spider Man. 

Dal.

98% complete, all the rigging is done anyway. Not sure whether i'll colour the EZ line silver or leave as is.

I need to fix the bits that fell off the gun
Pigments for the wheels
Add some mud splatters to the tail
Complete the painting on the tail, sodding oils won't dry
and thats about it.











For those that don't want to do one of these because of the rigging i'd say dive in it looks far worse than it actually is, the hardest thing is understanding where it all goes but the rigging guide on Bobs site is invaluable

Brilliant work on the rigging, Gary.  In the photos, the color looks fine.  Personally, I'd be afraid of buggering it up while trying to color the lines in situ.  But that's just me.  Des has absolutely no problem with it.  He's got the touch.
Cheers,
Bud

She's beautiful Gary! Very well done.    I really like the colors you used.  Glad to hear that the rigging is not as scary as it looks.

Regards,

Bob

Hello Gary:

Your DH2 Turned out mighty fine indeed.  I would be careful painting the EZ line.  If you do decide to paint it, use acrylics.  Non acrylic enamels can have a disasterous effect on EZ line.

Super job Gary!  I now have one of these in my stash too.

I would leave the rigging unpainted.  In your pics it stands out well against the rest of the model, the rigging looks just the job.  I tried painting mine dirty steel acrylic on some models, but after a while the paint flakes off, plus there's a risk of splattering the model.  I think Des uses Mr Metal to paint his rigging, but I could be wrong (Des please correct me?)  I have a few shades of this paint so I may try it on my Roland.  However IMHO your spider web is best left as is.

What's next?

Thanks for the comments everyone it's much appreciated. I agree I will leave the ez line as is.

Up next is going to be Udets Eindecker.
