Stunning job! I really like using the metallic pigments on the engine and exhaust, to my eye it looks much more subtle than dry brushing paint. Going to have to pick some up. Thanks!
brianc1701 Thank you. I too think they bring up the surface details better than dry brushing. Also the more you brush over the area the more polished the pigment becomes. Highy recommend the AK Gun Metal Pig if you're looking for some 🖒
Beautiful work! Just a thought about the interior woodwork. These planes are old as we look back on them now. At the time - when they were built, and when they flew - they were new and pristine. The plywood (presumably birch) was light and bright in colour. Not dark and aged, and certainly not stained or dark-coloured like mahogany. A matter of tast perhaps - these are models and we do what we like.
Thank you. And yes, you're probably right. This was th first time I'd used this technique to try and replicate and wooden effect so I didn't even think of the condition of the wood. Easily fixed though if I were to do it again, just use lighter colours! Thanks for watching :)
@@TheInnerNerd Thanks for your prompt response! There are so many things we don't know about these old planes, and ultimately we build models for our own pleasure. Once again - I admire your work and your techniques - I look and learn and thoroughly enjoy the videos that you share. Keep it up!
@@kenjohnston8173 Sounds good. Another thought - if the manufacturers made the wings and tail feathers in clear plastic we maybe could simulate the transluscent quality of these clear doped linen parts.
@@tomashultgren4117 to reiterate what you said the planes were taken care of in every manners when not flying and you westheri shouldn’t be done on the exterior unless it has an exposed radial engine like the eindecker
Usual artistic brilliance. Inspiring and jaw dropping at the same time. Now - because I will never (ever) achieve your level of expertise, I bought Vallejo old and new wood effects (acrylic) for this model. Before I start, could people let me know if the outcome will be half as good as Inner (NOT) Nerd's? I think I know the answer, but just wanted to check. Thanks all.
Thank you. I'm sure with some practice and the following of some detailed reference images you'll get there. Try to think about the layering of the paint to build up the colours on the wooden grain. Some layers can be semi-transparent and show soem grain texture underneath too. That'll give you even more depth into the effect. Good luck and thanks for watching :)
I’m not sure how this one slipped under the radar. I watched both of them out of order, what eventually became of this one? This was headed for a top shelf flight. A beauty. When you switched to ALCad Chrome on the engine, was that for highlighting or a second color change overall?
I ruined it basically. The whole think effectively blew up when I was using the dremel on it for some modifications. I used the Alclad Chrome as a highlight as I remember to give some areas of the engine more shine
LukeCoreZ They are okay but there is definitely better ones out there. Bought a small Mr Hobby Aqueous gloss this weekend which I have trailed on my slave model and it seems much better. Glosses up quickly over matte paints compared to humbrol.
Hey man! nice work! I was just wondering if you could send me a link to the website of which you got your oil washes from? (Albeitung 502 etc) Thanks, keep up the great work!
Thanks George Galpin. I got them from EModels.com. Great online store, lots of choice for Abteilung too! The browns used for the wooden effect however are from my local art shop, has no website so can't help you with that one
Rob Heinke I waited 3 days but the time can vary quite a bit. When you paint the oils on, also paint a spare part too. Use this spare to determine the state of the paint before touching the actual model
The Inner Nerd smart idea! I just painted the oils on eduards albatross d.iii profipack last night and used the same technique with the brushes. Time to practice that patience!
Wow, Fantastic results, very well done indeed. I love the effects from the oil paints for the wooden interior.

Joe's Model Kits Thanks Joe! Yes pleased with the results myself. To be honest I only got this model to try some wood effects!
As always fantastic work / tutorial, thanks for sharing.

I used yellow ocre only, with transparent yellow and orange

The dry brushing gave a good wood like effect.
great work, I look forward to seeing the next video : )
Nice video my friend, i like the tip with oils :)

I can see that, good idea.
Thanks for the reply and outstanding channel all these years.
Are you happy with the Humbrol Clear gloss and Clear matt?

The Inner Nerd thanks for the help, I'm sure there's some local shops near me for some paint :D
How long did you have to wait for the oil paint to dry before you could continue to work?

Rob Heinke That's what I'm here for! Good luck with it!!
It looks great! Sadly it takes a lot of time to dry.
what thinner are u using for oil colors?
fran ŽUTI White Spirit. Turpentine/Turpentine Supstitute will work too
@@TheInnerNerd Turpinoid is good, but smells like oranges!!
Eduard is from czech republic
This time I'll use woodprix instructions to make it by myself.
I did it myself with the Woodprix plans. I think this is the best way to find out how to build it.
