The Big Bird… WnW 1:32 Gotha Updated with more pics

[Jeroenveen1]

Well guys, this is the last 1:32 model I currently have in my collection: the WnW Gotha. It was my first ever biplane in this scale, and it was my first ever WnW model so this is a bit special for me. I build it some two years ago and remember that I was so impressed with all that detail. I wanted to do this version of the plane and weather the whites lightly and the engines more heavily… they have this beautiful industrial look. Of course, two years later I would do a lot of things differently but I'm still glad with how she turned out. Hope you like the pics, all comments welcome as usual. Happy modeling, Jeroen

 

PS: I started work on the Hisso and will soon be posting the first WIP's on the appropriate forum.

What an awesome detail job on this beautiful bird. You are right, it does have an industrial look. And you have captured it wonderfully.

Just a word or three ... Stunning, Stunning, Stunning !!

 

I love this one, you've achieved a certain authenticity which in a scale such as this is beyond difficult.  There's a fine line between authenticity and fake.  You've trod that line without deviating superbly.

 

Congratulations.

Two years? It isn't that long on the market, is it? I thought it's only been a year or so... I must be getting old...Anyway, looks like a really nice clean build. Weathering is just right to my taste! My compliments!

 

Cheers,

Erik.

Jeroen,

 

You built a very impressive airship there. I remember reading about this one in the January 2012 issue of Military Illustrated Modeller. Awesome job and very inspirational.

 

Cheers,

Wayne

Thanks Wayne, yes, it was published some months after I had finished her… Erik, I think it just have been less than two years indeed. I started this mid 2011… time sure flies!
