[WWI] Added:Albatros W4 Early

[Rick Geisler]

Steve said,
 

Thanks for all the kind words chaps.  

Not on the photos is a railway flat truck for it to sit on, as shown in one of the pictures in the Albatros Fighters in Action. My intention is to display it sitting on that.

Nick, the cdl is games workshop bleached bone base coat, the ribs then painted in white, then a Future/Klear-thinned top coat of bleached bone with maybe a little grey mixed in. The undersides have the ribs and spars marked with brown blendable pencil(crayon?) before the top coat.
Floats and struts are Misterkit Albatros Pale Green.
What I didn’t do was shade the cross through the top wing like you did on the Brandenburg.

Paul,Dennis,  the photos are posed to hide the worst of the wobbly lines on the prop. I suppose having made one from laminated veneer for my Ago C.I last year I’m not so pleased with my painting efforts now.


 

 

Steve,

As others have said, well done! I like the wood grain, just enough hint of different shades, but no direct wood grain pattern.
