WnW Eindecker EIII
« on: January 10, 2013, 02:04:34 PM »
I am almost embarrassed to show my feeble, OOB efforts when compared to the experts on the forum, but as a mere tinkerer in the world of modelling I am quite proud of my efforts on the Eindekker, you have taught me woodgraining and rigging and I almost kept the cockpit frame of this one as a seperate piece just so I could look at my first decent efforts at both.

I decided that I wasn't going to risk trying to oil stain the fueslage, I could see that ending VERY badly!

That looks great Tony, I like the look of the engine. Any chance of a better photo showing the swirl pattern on the cowling?

Looking really quite nice indeed yes.  Tony, don't be scared to il her up, just practice on scrap material till you are happy with what you can acheive. Of course it's upto you if you wish to or not.

The cowling. Up close it looks like I needed to use a finer brush, but from the usual safe distace it isn't too bad.

It looks great Tony - nice work!

Thanks! It has been a great learning experience as I try out some of the techniques the experts here have shown we amateurs.

Tony -

I don't see any feeble efforts on display here - in fact looks blooming good!!  Anyway, your not the only OOB builder - I'm one too so welcome aboard.

Regards

Excellent work, Tony.  Nothing wrong with OOB.  I try it as often as possible.
Cheers,
