Wingnut Wings Gotha 1:32
« on: May 28, 2013, 01:38:21 AM »
Well guys, as a follow up for the Fokker: this is the 1:32 WnW Gotha. It was my first ever biplane in this scale, and it was my first ever WnW model so this is a bit special for me. I build it some two years ago and remember that I was so impressed with all that detail. I wanted to do this version of the plane and weather the whites lightly and the engines more heavily… they have this beautiful industrial look. Of course, two years later I would do a lot of things differently but I'm still glad with how she turned out. Hope you like the pics, all comments welcome as usual. Happy modeling, Jeroen

Brilliant! She must look awesome in reality, huge, finely painted and weathered! Great build all around.

Fabulous! Simply stunning work. I like the fact that you`ve left the covers of the engine off so one can admire the beauty of the beast ;) I like the weathering a lot too.

I've seen some of these photos before (Bob's Buckles website I think) - one of my favourite WnM builds I've ever seen. Your shading and weathering techniques are sublime. Absolutely fantastic

I'm impressed.
Model Gotha, which I made was 1:72 scale and seemed to me huge. Your Gotha in your scale is difficult to imagine.

Absolutely gorgeous work! I'm especially fond of the engines and nacelles, fantastic job of capturing that used but well maintained look! The way you were able to capture the asbestos wrap detail is wonderful!

Gorgeous work.
One question I've been meaning to ask, how do you create that soft effect on all the joins and seems of the aircraft. It seems to be something all master modellers seem to be able to do.
