WNW LVG C.VI
« on: April 19, 2012, 03:23:45 AM »
Good Evening Gentlemen,

Please find below images of my recently completed Wingnut wings LVG C.VI.
The wood effects were completed using the Ronnie Bar designed decals available from Alex at the Uchi van der Rosten website


























Any comments, criticisms and questions would be greatly recieved.

Best regards

Keith

Those wood decals look superb :) Excellent weathering/darkening of the lozenge too.

     Keith,
Absolutely beautiful LVG C.VI my friend. I'm impressed with your wood toning too.To me wooden fuselages alway look best when there's a color tone difference between panels. Overall Master level project,congratulations.
Highest Regards,

Exceptionally well done woodwork and weathering effects on the lozenge decals; just to mention two aspects of a stunning model.

Cheers,

Chris

For anyone who dismisses wood grain decals as unrealistic, they should see this.  Truly Exquisite.

What prep work did you need to do, i.e. base coat, shading, to apply the wood grain decals? The final effect is superb. Is the darkening between the panels from the decals or applied afterwards?

Good Evening Gentlemen,

Thank you for the very generous comments about my work.
The Ronnie Bar decals certainly helped this one come alive.

The process I used for the wood decals is outlined below.
The Fuselage was sprayed with tamiya acrylics to give light and dark effects on the different panels, I used Flesh, Dark yellow, dessert yellow, white and dark brown. This was then sealed with an acrylic gloss varnish





Next the decals were cut to the shape of the panels using masking tape as a template, then applied using Gunze Sangyo Mr Mark Setter.



As I fitted the panels I sprayed them with acrylic gloss to seal them to prevent damage as I added the other panels



Once the wood decals had all been added I shaded the panels with tamiya clear orange and yellow then applied the markings and applied a satin varnish to finish it off



A full blog of the build can be found here http://www.militarymodelling.com/forums/postings.asp?th=56961

I hope this helps answer your question.

Best Regards

Keith
