Hi everyone -
Well, here’s some pics of my Eindecker project. I’m in a bit of a holding pattern right now, waiting for
a replacement part from Eduard (who have been very helpful, by the way). Slow going, but great fun.
In the meantime, I am really enjoying seeing the talent on this GB. Man, you guys are good!
Hey Mike! Good to see you pop up…see, I told you I’d eventually build something![:D]
Sorry about the composition of the post…new at this (sort of an old dog, new tricks thing lol)
Ernie
Guys, sorry I sent this to the wrong place…oops
Hey Ernie! Good to see you too my friend! …and that you’re building again! Sweet! That E.II is looking very nice indeed. Very convincing job at replicating the hammered metal look around the cowling - probably the best I’ve ever seen it done. Looking forward to seeing more. [Y]
Ernie -
Looks great! How did you achieve that hammered metal look?
Curt
Hey Curt,
Thanks for the complement! I was a bit perplexed on just how to get that look. What I settled on
was first an airbrushed coat of Tamiya XF-16 flat aluminum, then the small marks, (trying not to
make polka-dots lol) with a silver “Sharpie” permament marker. In 1/48 scale it doesn’t look
too bad. Hope that helps.
nice. been thinking about this one. i did one in 3D years ago before i got back into model building
