A GOTHA

That oxygen apparatus looks the part! Very nice work so far.

One small detail if i may: with a worn weathered interior I would weather and wrinkle the seatbelts a bit more too.

Thanks J.P.

You are right I have yet to blend and embed the interior details.

I can offer a tip on the seat belts , prolly obvious , bend them to fit BEFORE painting the seats.

And heat them with a lighter.

 oops... no.

[krow113]

ya didnt think so, but the tip for fitting prior to painting the seat still stands!

I'll do some before/after pics on the embedding (sorry sounds a little pretentious ) to show the diff.

Thanks JP

And parked for a while , I need to finish a Harley:

Thanks for watching , it will be awhile before this lights up again.

Wow....I've been away for a while and it is great to catch up on this. The level of detail and, especially, the wood work is really wonderful. The warmth you've achieved reminds me of well cared for antique furniture. Enjoy your Harley but I look forward to seeing you get back to this!

Cheers from NYC,

Michael

I wish I could update this but the pics are not available to replace , some have gone missing, so its hard to find the right ones for each post.

Management can delete the thread if they wish to.

Love not be able to see any pictures of work. This site is just about a waste of time!

Why Murdock are you wasting your time then. Member since 2013 and this piece of art is the second post. To bored to check the first one, but I'm sure it is another gem.

I see photoretard has 'allowed' the pics back here.

 You can see the ongoing Gotha at the link or on ww1 aircraft forum

Photoblurket;

Hey , yer not twisting my arm hard enough!

[Wingco57]

Don't you just hate photobucket

[Clunkmeister]

That's stupid.

half my old builds are on PB and I've thought about rebuilding the pages here, bnut extracting MY OWN PICS from those people is about as fast as watching paint dry.  And I mean artist oil paint, not gunze lacquers.
