Super-Detailing a WW1 Aircraft Engine (Fokker D VII F by Wingnut Wings)
The Fokker DVII was the most superior fighter plane in the first World War so if that's not a reason to feature it on my channel then what is? The second episode will be all about the BMW engine, which - as usual with Wingnut Wings kits - is quite a handful :) Furthermore, we will paint the fuselage with its field applied signature all red scheme and the iconic LO! insignia

A Pilot, a Pipe And Some (Static) Grass - The NIEUPORT XVII is done!
Переглядів 10 тис.2 роки тому
The Nieuport XVII (Late Version) by Copper State Models is a beautiful scale model kit in 1/32. If you want to see it being built step-by-step with cringy commentary and subpar camera work - look no further. This is the last part of a 4-part series: We're finally approaching the pilot figure - something that's miles outside of my comfort zone. The figure is also by Copper State Models. Furtherm...

    Rotary engines slung caster oil all over the belly and lower surface of the wing. And yes it cam loosen you up. old rhinebeck aerodrome in up state NY has WW1 aircraft they fly in a vaudvill era air show. You can see Fokkers Sopwiths Nieuports albatrosses. Most with original engines.

    I have An Albatros D.III and an SE.5a Hispano Suiza in my little stash. Now I've never built an aircraft from WW1, all I have done is WW2 armour and warbirds. I'm a little apprehensive about the rigging, are there many do's and don'ts when it comes to rigging? and what are they? I want to get on and start them but honestly this is making me back off from them. Love your build, great stuff it really is.

      @TheAlleyman Місяць тому

      @@dandy193 thanks a lot. You can skip the turnbuckles and use elastic strings for rigging, it's a bit more convenient than the fishing line. Also, fix one side of the rigging while the wings are not attached to minimize fiddling work

    Goodness. You take detail to a whole new level. Just within the first five minutes, I have learned a lot - including to stay clear of larger scales that require that much detail - lol. I saw a comment on your music choice. Another compliment. It is not intrusive over your speech nor annoying, yet not boring either. Nice job!

    • @TheAlleyman
      @TheAlleyman Місяць тому

      Thanks mate. Yes the large scale planes can be a handful (see my current hiatus). On the other hand, the 1/32 WW1 planes are not much larger than an 1/48 WW2 fighter.

    What a great treasure chest of outstanding modeling projects. Thanks for the obvious effort you put into such professional "productions" I'm certainly looking forward to future episodes where I can learn more, and as important, get to admire your skill.. Not to be taken as a complaint: I find the in-and-out background "music" distracting from your wonderfully crafted narration and sly humor.

I tried with just no sound but it appeared weird to me 😅 it will remain like this in the last video of this series for consistency but I have a few ideas in mind for upcoming projects.
