Hi all,

some time ago, i started on the WNW Roland..........and i tought it was about time to put some more progress on this bird.

After i decaled the two wings and the tail section with the excellent Lozenge decals from the Wood & Wire range, i decided to give the wings some depth with a post-shade.
For this i used oils, a very time consuming work, but at the end, i think it's quit allright to say that the end result i think is satisfied.

Under side of the wings after decaling the Lozenge decals, and post shading with oils



Upper side of the wings.



And the upper side after post-shading with oils



Between the work, i searched for a good figure, to stand proud in front of the Roland, depict on so many photo's of that time, where pilot's posed proud in front of theire flying machines. Not many figures are on the market, in such a pose, so my choice was very limited. I didn't wanted to put a famous pilot in front of the model.

So one beautifull figure got my attention, that from Elan13.





And this is what i got a few day's later after ordering it.





The head and left hand are seperated, very nice figure that will stand for sure very good with the model.

Great work on the engine and the lozenge decals. I've some of the Wood 'n Wires stuff in stock and look forward to getting as good a result as you've done. I like the way you have not decaled over the rib tapes so that these these only get one layer, not two. They can look like battens, not tapes, otherwise.

Carry on!

Cheers,

Nice figure, looking forward to seeing your paint work on it.
I watched the oil post-shading of the lozenges with attention, as I think I will try to get something approaching on my Albatros D-V.

Thank's guy's for the kind comments and feedback. :D

Back for some progress on the Roland itself.

The wings and horizontal stabilizer got theire rib takes.

Oh boy, iff you tought the Old Propellor lozenge decals where a real challenge, the, rib takes are for certain a pain staking proces to apply.

But at the end, after all is done, the rib takes decals are, once they settled a real realistic ad-on to the model.:D

The lower wing, upper side





lower wing, lower side

i did apply also the crosses, but here it went not really like i wanted, after i apply the Micro Sol, the crosses did show a strange way of settling, i don't know why, but the end result isn't really the way i wanted. Ok i will mask this with some wheatering, and it is the lower side, but still, i don't like it.



Upper wing, upper side



upper wing, lower side





And at last, the horizontal stabilizer, lower and upper side





That's all for now.

Martin in right...that's stupendous.  You really should give us a little tutorial on your oil post shading.  Those wings simply look real.

Great job  ;) ;)

I agree...quite time consuming for the least.
