I envy you; I haven't even begun my D.VII yet, and have no idea when I will.

I'm a high school teacher and now that we are back in full swing I am finding myself with less and less time at the workbench. Still plugging away though.

Dear Kreston

It's fascinating seeing your work in progress and well done so far. I'm particularly interested in your approach to weathering because so far in the 1/48 models I've made I have opted for a factory fresh finish but when I eventually move to 1/32 I think I will be looking to aim for a more service/weather beaten style.

Best wishes
Nigel

Thanks for the comments and I hope to post more pics in the coming days.  Something I learned about weathering while painting figures is that "less is more" and I have found it holds true for my DVII as well.  I think I was a little heavy handed in my first attempt and have gone back and made it more subtle.  I'm not sure how much action Jacobs' DVII saw but assume it wasn't a whole lot.

Still plugging away at the DVII but don't seem to have as much time at the workbench now that school is in full swing!  I am working on the figure that will be standing next to the fuselage.  Cockpit Wings kit, sculpted by Steve Warrilow.  Still have to finish the face, the buttons, cap and goggles, and put some final touches on the coat and scarf.

I am going paint the lenses the appropriate color and then add a couple coats of a product called Liquin.  It dries glossy and will look like the lenses.

Couple of quick shots.  Sorry for the poor quality.  Working on the struts.
