    That "bleaching/weathering" effect is outstanding work Andi. Coming along in spectacular fashion!

Please don't rush on our account, Andi.  She's shaping up brilliantly.  Your weathering and shading are truly masterful.
Cheers,
Bud

I agree with my Amigo 150% I love the weathering effects!

Andi,

just to repeat what I said on the phone earlier, really outstanding work. I think the paintwork on the ribbing is so convincing, with the right backdrop it could easily pass for the real thing.
Mind you, a WW1 battleship in 1/32 would be a very challenging project !

Will be popping in from time to time to see the progress, looking forward to it.

All the best,
Steve.

Hi all.................

As promised a further update ... not as quickly as I'd hoped (life'n'stuff) but here now!

Without much ado then.................



I have her shoes and socks on - plus her whirly bit. Some final modelling and paint around the wing root to hopefully tie them together.




Annnd the other side for evenness sake............same again - bit of fidlin' with the paint and stuff.




Back round again for a squarer shot in order to see how all that rough stuff along the fuselage now hopefully marries into the other parts of the aircraft?




On her nose in order to see where she has rather embarrassingly dribbled - in the destructions there's an upended aircraft which is decidedly filthy in this department - so I was encouraged to really go for this!!





And a miraculous flyby -(No top wing etc) - just for the effect?




Annnnd she's gone!


Just working up the courage now to tackle the top wing and it's associated demons - oh! and of course those couple of frighteningly tiny runs of wire between the bottom wing and the undercarriage legs - every fibre in my body is telling me to walk away from those!!!!
And I know I have to paint the rear of the propeller boss too - it, like the wheels are just posed at the minute.

Feel free to mutter ............ until next time ...............

Soon-ish - hopefully.

Cheers cheps!
KBO ............. Andi.

Andi, this is one of the best Pups I've ever seen!  Beautiful finish and weathering. 

Don't sweat the top wing too much--it goes on pretty easy.

Outstanding work here, my friend!

Cheers,

Bob

Outstanding work Andi. This aircraft seems to have suffered a lot! Very convincing. And I simply love the propeller. Great work!

Kind regards
Patrick
