Greetings all I thought we might do with a bit of spotlight on some modelers that I have come to know as "talented." We can always learn from the works of other modelers. (So you don't get too bored with my opinions.) Here are some of the works of Brad Cancian.


The Spad is 1/72 scale the rest are all 1/48.

The Roden Fokker D.VII kit



The Eduard kit on the left and the Roden kit on the right.

Brad sure is talented. The shading on the panels on the Albatros is fantastic.
Are they all 1/48th?
Exceptional work, thanks for sharing Stephen.
Andy

Yes except for the Spad its 1/72.

Hi Stephen!

Impressive work! Thanks a lot for sharing... I can imagine seeing his work displayed in a Photo Feature on Aeroscale or even better in a Portfolio. "A propos" Porfolio, have you thought about submitting Part 2 Stephen?

Jean-Luc

Fantastic work to say the least! Hope to see more O' Enlighed One....

Howdy fellas,

It's always nice to view talent.

Thx for posting these Stephen

It's funny, I was just looking at the Albatross 'LuLu' over at Rosebud's while searching for SPAD VII pics......

Tread.

Incredible job!

I just pick up Roden's D.VII Ernst Udet yesterday. I'm really looking forward to start building it, after I complete the campaigns I joined. You WWI guys may have converted me!

Hi guys! Thanks for the kind words!

Stephen, given the extremely high calibre of models you yourself routinely produce, I must say that I am very flattered that you consider me to be "talented" and even more chuffed that you have taken the time to post some pics of my models!

:-)

The great thing about Stephen is that he is always willing to show case other modellers work.... Maybe we should compile a gallery of Stephen's great work eh?

....too funny, I just suggested this very thing on another thread!.....tell ya what Brad, you and I both can start wavin' that banner, O.K.?

Hey Stephen, you listenin' yet? ;-)

Tread.

You guys are too good to me.

Hi Brad and Gordon!

That's what we are currently doing on Aeroscale... see Albatros Portfolio

Jean-Luc

Howdy fellas,

What else can I say but "Wow!"........how's that for some weird mojo, I just now mentioned this and bang, it comes to pass!

too weird.

Stephen, you say "....You guys are too good to me. ...." When in fact, it is you who is too good to all of us by providing this great collection of built-up photos for our enjoyment.

And to you Jean-Luc, many thx for putting it all together, and pointing me in the right direction.

I will be perusing the collection with GREAT admiration.

Hey, Rittmeister Baron Jacob Von Flashberger.... Any chance you can do a new "evening class" build? Concentrate on one pilot and build a couple of his machines with a bit of does and don'ts? Central or Allied....
I LOVED that A Right Royal Fokker! thread that you people did before...
(Looking for a suitable bribe)

Jan and all more to come from me no worries...but this is about Brad and his fine works.

Brad would you consider doing an online build? your gizmology on the Bristol engine would be a great start. I really like the way you treat your motors.

I agree with you Baron. Maybe you guys could do something together showing the different technics that you use.....

Stop the presses! New head lines read . . .Brad Cancian WINS BIG!!!

The report comes from another good fellow from down under.
"The South Australian Plastic Modellers association competition was held over the weekend. I was able to get along and take a few photo’s, so I thought I would post the World War One Aircraft entries here. There were not all that many, with our Brad submitting the lions share. . . Brad doing very well taking out a First and Second from the technical judging for the rigging section and a First with his work on the fantastic Voss D III in the Peoples choice, which was from all the aircraft entered."

Some builds familar to anyone who frequents out little corner of the Kitmaker site.

Brad,
Congratulations on your well deserved awards for some truly outstanding work. Thanks to Stephen for bringing this excellent work to our attention. Brad, please keep sharing this work with us and maybe you could write a few words on your techniques as well.
Great stuff, model on, Dwayne

I know i've expressed these sentiments before, but Brads awards at the SA pms comp are more than well deserved.
Brads builds are a constant inspiration to me.

Congratulations Brad!

Cheers,

Hugh

Aww shucks guys, you are all too kind!! The work on here in turn inspires me to keep building these wonderful 'ol crates! The SA comp was a rather well run comp, and there were lots of entries, especially in the 1/48 prop single engine (non-rigged) category. To be fair to myself, there wasn't too many entries in the rigged aircraft category to compete against... but as always it is a very nice surprise to take home a trophy!

I am planning on writing up some "how to" articles on wood grain and on the techniques I use for painting engines as requested, just gotta find the time! (I'm getting to them, I promise!!)

Thanks again guys!

BC

Brad,

those models are really one of the kind - very inspiring!

my question is how do you fade the colours on the models that they look so realistic?

Thanx in advance for answering!

Greetings Brad,

I sent your 1/32 Albatros D.III build thread and this one to Roden. Now your in for it! Tally Ho!

Stephen you truly are cruel and kind at the same time!!
