Well, it's OK, I guess... At least it shows you're trying. ???  Haha!

I thought I'd break up the monotony of the constant cheers and praise. But in truth, you deserve every positive note you get!! ;D

Portfolio shots of the Albatros B.II wing using the Aviattic light and dark German linen both a combination of the clear and white backed products. The effect was created using pre-shading, pre-weathering the linen decals and final post shading and oil filters.

Once the oils have cured I will be experimenting with the new Tamiya flat, semi, gloss varnishes to create the effects found on doped linen.

Those wings are truly scrumptious, James!  Love the affect you've achieved.  Would you mind telling us how you managed to get the edges so clean?  I love the Aviattic linen decals, but I always struggle with that bit.
Cheers,
Bud

Richard at Aviattic has asked me to write a walkthrough on the techniques that I use to create these effects - I will include all the little details on how to get such a clean finish also.
