Matt_ Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Well, to my eye, that last photograph looks like a real one, stripped down or undergoing restoration... I think this'll look pretty spectacular when finished.... Matt 1
Grant Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Darren- I don't know whether some of the others here realise that that propeller is hand drawn and painted by you !!! Just thought I should mention it. It's brilliant by the way. 1
PAnderson Posted April 22, 2013 Posted April 22, 2013 What an awesome build Darren. You should be proud. what museum is it going to? Seriously, this one needs needs exposure. What a fine job. Paul 1
coolboxx Posted May 12, 2013 Author Posted May 12, 2013 Hi all, thanks again for all the comments. An update on the build so far the wings lower now complete, these have taken a long time todo, post shaded/weathered with pastal chalk i find i can keep the weathering down ( Jasta 37 kept very tidy planes) with just shading to give the ribs some depth and make the fabric looked stretched over a frame, below the top wing is not shaded. Main wing is now having rib tapes applied. My oil staining and last weathing will be done on final assembly. The hair dryer tip has worked really well thanks. Starting the 2nd lower wing lower wings bottom one is shaded. Wing fitting soon my jig is made. Cheers 1
Grant Posted May 12, 2013 Posted May 12, 2013 I swear I read the label on the bottle in the third picture as "Laxative"!! I won't say, in polite company, what went through my mind ! Those wings are just gorgeous Darren! Keep 'em coming! 1
Guest styrenedemon Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Oh wow...those wings are looking good. The shading is perfect! I swear I read the label on the bottle in the third picture as "Laxative"!! I won't say, in polite company, what went through my mind ! Feeling ok, sir? Maybe your tummy is telling you something. 2
GAJouette Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Darren, Just read through your build thread today. All I can say is AWESOME!!! Highest Regards, Gregory Jouette 1
Grant Posted May 14, 2013 Posted May 14, 2013 Oh wow...those wings are looking good. The shading is perfect! Feeling ok, sir? Maybe your tummy is telling you something. Yup, my gut is telling me I'll never achieve the skills on show here - very, very clever. 1
coolboxx Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Hi again thanks for all the great comments....update topwing now complete bottom wings are now fitted just finding the time, thought i could get more time in last weekend but the sun came out! oh yes it did!!! and guess who had to tidy the garden ect ect... well i am hoping to get this fininshed in the next few weeks so i can start on the GW GB. Again i have shaded the rib area with pastal chalk applied with a fine brush to give a frame affect, worked on the alierons as i lost the rib once the decals where put on, what do you think? Thanks for looking 1
