Finished this beauty of a kit last night . I really like how this turned out , better then my Albatros D.V .

If you have questions just ask .
Hey Carl , here's the more pic's , I know how much you like pictures so I hope this makes up for my some what " lack " of not having any !










Okay the pic's are all that clear . Still learning on this crop and clear thing .
It is becoming more enjoyable as I learn more .

Thanks Guys and Gals

A day later and I notice that I didn't do the wind screen or top wing flight controls ............This will be done .

Very nice work Terri. Its a great job I like everything about it. someday I'll attempt something like that
later,
Kelly

great job on that one terri, maybe you can paint my projects 2

Beautiful Terri, beautiful....!

WOW!

What a Beauty!

I love your weathering on the Forward section. And the rigging is nicely done too.

Psst! Great photos!

Cheers,

Hugh

Nice work Terri ,what technique did you use on the rigging ?

Hi Terri!

Splendid model! Great job...

Could you shoot some more photos for a feature and send them to me?

Jean-Luc

Hey Kelly , Thank-you for your comment and the kind words !

Sure Ricardo , I'll do some painting for you . You will have to send Beer ! So if I sreaw it up I have something to blame !

Jan the only thing I have to say is ...........

Hugh , Glad you like the pic's , I'm not totally happy with them . I have come to the conclusion that taking pic's at night is not a good thing in my apt . So will have to work on that .
Believe or not , the weathering on the nose was done by accident ! I tried out Allcad II and I ended up getting over spray on it of gloss coat . It made it look tarnished . I brushed coat some future over it and the rest of the weathering was done with Pastel chalk . With aluimina added with a q-tip to look it patch work . Thanks Hugh

Doug , I did the rigging using twisted wire around a very small drill bit to get a tiny hoop , these were placed in all the rigging locations . I then heat shrink Q-tip to get a long tiny tube . Pieces where cut 3mm . I use smoked invisible thread for the first time on this build , it's finer then the clear I find . Thread two of the cut pieces on a length of thread , pass one end through tiny hoop and thread that end back through side the Q-tip down fix with super glue repeat over and over again . It is time consuming but well worth it in the end .

Thanks Jean-luc . PM sent .

Hi Terri
I take my hat off and handing over the airbrush. This is awesome,The best thing to see is one modeller who turn tips into beauty.We have a say here in Sweden"Gött Mos" and that´s just what it is "The best"


Larsa

Thanks Lars , those are very kind words my friend . It was my first time on using a double action airbrush ! No turning back to the single action now I'm hook !

No beer cans were harmed in the making of this kit !

Terri,

You did an absolutely stunning job. Regarding the aluminum front...don't you just love happy accidents!? I think it looks great. The question is, can it consistently be replicated? I hate when I have a good result from an accident, and then for the life of me, can never get it to look as good on purpose. lol

I really like the look of the prop as well. Great wood grain effect.

Thanks for sharing your work with us!

Take care,

John

dont worry terry i model and drink at the same time 2...so i can blame something if anything goes wrong

Bam !

I like the pictures also. Rigging came out fantastic.

Really nice Terri! I love the rigging too.
About the pictures, they are a bit dark. I had the same problem but I solved it using two 250W halogen spotlights placed to both sides of the model by doing this you can reduce or eliminate the shadows.

Cheers,

Claudio

Wow, wow, wow, thats a wonderfull model Terri, everything is fantastic, the weathering, the prop, the rigging, really it is great.
congratulations.

Excellent work, Terri. Very inspirational. I can't wait to see more of your builds.

Mark

SWEET!! That's a GREAT looking model. I agree, the prop and the rigging look fantastic! You've got a contest winner on your hands, Terri. Outstanding work.

Cheers,
Mike

Terri, nicely done! Someday remind me to tell you what BAM really stands for.

Yes john I do know what you mean on the mistake by trail ! I did make notes on the out come of each step , so hopeful I will be able to this again In ways I guess it's good when that happens , part of the learning process ................

Thanks Carl , always nice to here from you .

Claudio , can the lights fold up for easy storage ? I was thinking of make a box idea on saw on the net . I really do need to work on the lighting more . Thanks for the kind words .

Dimitris , glad that you enjoyed this build .

No mark I find your work to be very inspirational sir . And I thank you !

Well Mike I don't know about a contest winner , but I very happy with my efferts on this build and just being able to share it with all of you guys . I guess that's where the real satisfaction is is being able to share !

Yup I will remind you on that Stephen ! Thank-you for kind words and your encourage and for not shooting me for all the errors that I've made . I will try and keep the mess to the work bench only !

Okay I did add the wind srceen and top wing control horns and rigging . So now it is finished .

Terri,

Very good job. I like the bare metal very much. Even notice the turnbuckles..... Good clean build.

Regards
Steve
