Hello everybody,

on behalf of Sergey many thanks for your nice comments.

Here an up-date on the fuselage and wings weathering:



This build will represent Kurt Student's aircraft, one of the dirtiest E.IV's I've ever seen.

to Ade: I will ask Sergey to provide the technique for the seat cover (as far as I know, it is a combination of light base, dark oil paints and drybrush with light oil paints).

Cheers

Ondra

  I'm a little behind the pack here but no less impressed! Beautiful work, the detail is very impressive and the weathered/dirty Fuselage and wing are spectacular.
Cheers,
Lance

Hello gentlemen,
Yeah !! Amazing paint with a very realistic weathering. It smells burnt oil and gazoline.  ;)
Best regards.

Wow...really spectacular. Superb detail painting and weathering.

Would love to hear more about the green paint and specifics of how he did the wood. Very impressive, indeed.

Thanks for sharing your friend's work, Ondra!

Cheers from NYC,
Michael

PS To certain members of the hard core figure painting fraternity, Green Paint is used as an euphemism for Cannabis. Maybe that explains the attention to detail.

Yeah, what Michael said. I agree completely! (Although I suspect Michael's been hitting the green paint lately ;D )

Very impressive, but wouldn't the white field to the fuselage cross be just as dirty?

Naturally! But not all at once... the final patina will be made after assembly of the plane... ::)

I'm not really a big fan of the Fokker Eindeckers, but this build is just to beautifull to be ignored.

Very impressive Ondra, congrats with this nice build. ;)

Wow, you're not just weathering the fuselage, you're rendering it, or illustrating it. Very impressive!
