WnW W.29 finished at last
« on: July 12, 2012, 09:25:23 AM »
Phew...thought I'd never get it done.  103 hours...too much for an old guy like me, but I'm slow.  Hope you like the pics.  It's a great kit!...just like all of the WnW stable.

Chuck, that's beautiful.  As TRB said, that's time well spent.  I'm sorry I didn't grab one of these myself, if they can turn out like that.

Cheers.

Great job Chuck, the result is well worth the 103 hours of effort ;)
It's a pity this model is now sold out....

Very nice indeed. That engine of yours is a beauty. How about a close up or two.

Cheers,

Thanks for all the comments, folks – I appreciate it.  Anyway, some have asked for more pics so I included some.  I tried some of the engine detailing that Des and others do, but I have a long way to go.  I should explain the map decal on the IP was applied to some kitchen foil then cut out and stuck on.  Also, the beaching wheels were from a kid’s dime-store Conestoga wagon.  This was my second W.29, and it was a real pleasure.  I agree it’s a shame they are sold out of this kit – I was going to buy one for my brother – but I suspect they will return with upgrade parts, including a metal-wheel beaching dolly.

Thanks and have a great day, everyone!
Chuck

Chuck,
   You`ve done a lot more work (and of very high quality) in 103 hours then I could even come close to. Great looking model and the engine is most impressive. Makes me sorry I missed this one but hopefully, as you mentioned, she will be back as a super detailed release.
Nicely done!
Cheers,
Lance

A really nice build, I think you captured the beast just about right.

Nice detailing work.

And like a few others I'm miffed to have missed the boat on building this (Too many Albatri options for me...lol)
