Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 25, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted January 25, 2023 It’s pretty brutal to look at now, but we’ll give it some detail tonight. Plus, overspray some areas in clear orange or yellow for some depth. It’s nice to build resin that fits nicer than most mainstream kits do. Lukgraph gives you the basics, now it’s up to the modeler to tart it up, although not much will be seen in the front office, the rear pit will be wide open for viewing 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 27, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2023 As everyone who builds resin knows, test fit, text fit, test fit. Tomorrow, on goes the internal CDL and wood areas, dirty up and rig the interior. Oh yay. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 27, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2023 You know, the more I look at that, the wheel looks way too fat for a normal guy’s hands. Probably worth forming a new, skinnier one, but it’ll be hard too see as it’s buried between the wings. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocRob Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Absolutely Ernie, the wheel could be a bit thinner. Wood effects on the interior look great. You could easily pimp the backseat area with some leftovers from WNW kits, like camera and canvas bag. Foe my Hansa Brandenburg build, I applied a map and some ruler and triangle, made from PE-residues and added some pencils made from wire.

Administrators Clunkmeister Posted January 27, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2023 Awesome look, Rob! I was online a couple days back, looking for period maps of the North Sea shore, etc. I’ll certainly find something and add it to some PE. And those metal braces look stellar! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HubertB Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Regarding the HB W-29, I always wondered how they could expect the rear gunner to stand manning his gun and rotating in all directions without stepping through this bottom transparent panel … My interpretation of this, on my scratchbuilt Aichi Hansa, which was started before we even knew WnW existed, was to add a mobile grid that would take the weight of the gunner when standing. Probably not historically accurate, but common sense, for me at least. Ok, end of thread drift. Hubert 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Clunkmeister Posted February 6, 2023 Author Administrators Share Posted February 6, 2023 Picking away at this slowly. Taking Rob’s lead and doing some minor improvements that help a lot 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 Ernie Some alignment issues but seeing how you blew through them on the Helldiver, should be no problems out at all. Cockpit detail looks so good through the openings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Ernie Glad to see your back at the bench with the your Lukgraph GB entry. Woodwork and the IP looks good and don't worry about the map - who would ever really know - the effect is what counts and it does look the part so well.
