Beautiful work!!! The wood effect looks professional, a wonderful first try Looking forward to the next update.

Hello Dani:

This is really coming along nicely. I like the floats, the wood grain is convincing, and the work you have put into it is paying off as you near the finish.

Dani,
The woodgrain is really good, much better then my first try. What technique did you use?
Your Pre-shading worked really nicely as well. Bet you enjoyed the taping as much as I did on my Albie?!?
Looks like a beautiful result is on the way; you are doing exceptionally nice work with a very basic kit.
I look forward to your updates as you progress.

Cheers,
Lance

Thanks for the kind words friends





Wood , the first layer is a mixture of acrylic linen and oker. Then with oils structure of wood .Then clearcoat layer with litle brown as the Ansaldo had dark varnished wood.Diferent wooden panels i painted with difernt different mix of varnish



I more enjoyed taking tape oof, and see result ,If tape removed some of base paint off, Can't Beat the Feeling

I did some more progress








The tail of the aircraft I worked out of some plastic box.On it I glued the copper wire 0.10 mm thick and then spray with looat of putty. Then I sanded, copper is harder then putty, so I got a rib profile,

Hope you like it

Hi Danni –this is starting to come together in a grand way. Always liked the fine lines of the Ansaldo, and the Italian markings under wings.

Keep it coming

Mikael

Very nice!

Danni,
Keep the reports coming. As I said earlier, I am amazed at the really great results you are getting out of this kit. WOW!
Cheers,
Lance

Thanks friends for your support.
These days I work on the floats, it is still dry fit

Hi Dani:

This is really looking sharp. The floats really make it! Looking forward to more as you work this to completion.

Looking excellent Dani. Your friend would be proud of the work you are doing.

Hi Dani

You should have now. You can tick the "Blog" option when you start a new thread to get the icon. Great build by the way.

All the best

Rowan

Thanks friends for your support.
Thanks boos for cog and advice


Propeller in the kit has the wrong shape and direction of rotation, so I did it new from a some plastic

Excellent progress Dani – I really like your prop and the woodgraining – looks sharp!

Mikael

I really love how the floats turned out ! She is going to look sharpe when she is finished !

Looking forward to your next update

This is fantastic! What an original subject too, and you are building it beautifully! Keep it up...can't wait to see the finished product!

Thanks for the kind words friends
I was not on the forum last days, but I had a good reason. Uh, when Ansaldo was almost finished, one a wrong move and I have broke the construction of floats. When I calmed down, I managed to fix it. . Thank you for your support, helped me a lot, this project is finished.
I hope you like it

Hi Dani,

Gorgeaus little model, I think you've really pulled of an interesting and different build here. It does look especially good with that wonderful backdrop – is that your view from the hobby desk?

Best Regards

Mikael

Nicely done!

Dani,
Simply beautiful; you turned a very basic kit into a most impressive model and the float work, prop, and woodgrain showcase your talents wonderfully! Congratulations on such great results and hope to see more of your work soon.

Regards,
Lance

Thanks friends
@ Lance I'm glad you think so. This is my first biplane, and I really struggled over me. It could be more details, but it will took a lot more time and never be finished (I know myself) so I made some compromise. Now I is time for foker e3 to be finished.

@Stephen ,nice to see you around boss

@Mikael That is the view from my balcony, I am lucky to live in one of the most beautiful city in Croatia, my hobby table in the shed

Dani,
Absolutely Beautiful my friend. Love how this project turned out. Excellent view from your window too.
Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Dani,
Wonderous job. The plywood, the cloth, the brass around the radiator, all very convincing. Mr. Aranza would be proud.

Sooo...when are you going to take it down to the water and see if the floats really work?! That would make a heck of a photo. (Just kidding)

Beautiful view you have there too. That is a great local.

Keith

That is one stunning view  – the kind of a place I dream about going to for my holidays
