Your models are very intriguing. The explanation of your work provides great understand. Very pleased with your results and will be waiting for the next master piece to come out.
You’ve done a wonderful job! Especially the pilot figure. You’re too hard on yourself. I’ve been modeling for over 50 years, and I’m still learning. I’ve learned some very useful techniques from you. Please keep modeling and posting your fine work. Professionelle Arbeit. Geil!
Thanks for your kind words. I know we tend to be our own harshest critics. The figure turned out well given the little experience I have with miniature painting but there's room to improve.
I once did a similar base for a Dr1. Trying for the feel of a well used landing ground, I put a lot of work into showing damp meadow grass flattened by tires and tracked by tailskids. I was pleased with the result, although it would have been much better if I'd had one of those cool static grass gadgets. Nice work.
Thanks a lot Simon. The static grass applicator is not necessary, you can also plant the tuffs by hand with a tweezer (it's much less convenient though 😅). They are not expensive anyway, I got mine for 20€ from Amazon. Also, Plasmo has a video on how to do them yourself.
I finally found this channel again (just by chance)! I remember discussing this channel on reddit a long time ago, in an r/modelmakers weekyl questions thread. I am happy that the videos and models are coming out great. Love the WWI subjects and hope to see more.
Hey, I remember well, you were the first one to subscribe to the channel back then even though there weren't any videos yet. That was super encouraging, thanks a lot! I'm glad you enjoy the result now. Next video is in the making :)
@@TheAlleyman Yup, it felt like a long time ago, but it's great to see a new channel with interesting models. It would be interesting to see either more planes or even tanks from WWI. Speaking of which, Academy has a very basic 1:72 Sopwith Camel kit, but it would be very interesting to see what you can do with it/to improve it given how well you did on this plane!
@@rougepilot5513 just checked, it was 6 months ago :) I plan to do all subjects here, ships, planes, tanks and also artillery since they had such a big impact (no pun intended) in WW1. Will definitely have a look at the Academy Camel, thanks for the tip.
@@TheAlleyman Yup, the camel in question is incredibly basic, two small sprues in a tiny box with a single sheet of somewhat hard to read instructions. It actually caused me some frustration and I have yet to finish it (the inner spars snapped off because they were in the wrong direction and I tried to reposition them but the new bond sucked). I might pull it out one day or another to finish it.
Just found your channel, followed this build in one sitting I loved your presentation so much. Fantastic work, very inspirational. My only suggestion would be next time to router out the base so the clay sits in flush with the base, giving a clean edge to the scene. very minor point though. I can't even build the plane part, but this make me want to try!
Cool, glad you enjoyed it so much. Good point on the base, will take that into consideration for my next one. Also don't hesitate to try, it's not as difficult as it might seem.
I must take issue with you as you are NOT a mediocre figure painter. I understand that we are often our severest critics when it comes to our own work. Perhaps because your Nieuport is just brilliant, and, as you said that figures aren’t your specialty, you feel the pilot suffers in comparison. In my opinion, he wonderfully compliments and completes your build. Your choice of colors was excellent. I’ll bet a lot of us who paint little folks learned our techniques from watching other videos. As you noted Copper State Models makes outstanding resin figures and your presentation fully does justice to the sculpt. Well done! 👍👍👍
Thanks for your encouraging words, Mark. I agree we're our most severe critics. However, there are some real geniuses out there when it comes to miniatures :D and I couldn't agree more on Copper State Models, all the stuff they release lately is just top notch quality!
Sorry I'm late! Watching the video now and again.....fantastic job! And the little bits of humor keep the videos interesting. Can't wait to see more work in the future!
Hey, no worries, better late than never :) thanks for your positive words. I'm currently in the finishing steps for the next video. I am aiming to release it next weekend but don't quote me on that 😅
I'm new to your channel and I think you're doing very well. Your narration is well done and you're pretty funny. I also thought you did a great job with the figure. I'm just getting into making scenes for my models as well, so thanks for the tips. I started with your newest video of the cockpit of the WWI focker I think its called. Then went back to check out your other videos. Good luck with your channel bud. All I can say is if and when you receive negative comments from some not so happy people lol, just ignore it.. Don't let them get to you. I think you're doing great and I can't wait to see what else you do. Happy New Year and best of luck bud.
Thank you so much for your feedback Frankie, it's so encouraging to read. Luckily I was spared of any non-constructive critique so far but the day will come and I shall keep your words in mind. Hope you had a great start in 2023 and that you're having a great time modelling :)
Absolutely love it! Outstanding work....! I'll be getting one as well (at least), for one of my favourite WWI aces, Charles Nungesser! Have a handful (well....ahum) WWI aircraft, both in 1/32 and 1/48 (I know, total madness), eager to get started, but the rigging scares the scare the bejesus out of me! 😆😂 Already looking forward to see your next project!
Thanks for your comment. The Nungesser markings are great as well, you should definitely go for it! I also got a considerable stash by now (well, guess that's a modeller's thing 😅) but only 1/32 so far. Also don't worry about the rigging, the Nieuport is relatively tame. It's not difficult, it just demands some patience. Next project is on the way :)
I enjoy WW1 models. I wish there were more artillery pieces and horses. I understand the unique part of motorized warfare, but there are a lot of variety out there.
Thanks for your comment. I have some artillery in my stash but I currently lack the horses. Maybe that's something for when I finally get my hands on a 3D printer
Really great series of videos on this beautiful plane, I enjoyed watching and learned a lot - thank you! I hope you have more such projects (especially WW1 birds) coming :) Left a sub for the future.
@@TheAlleyman I will start the Special Hobby Morane Saulnier Type N. A plane I always liked and I hope an "easy" entry into painting wood, rigging and fabric shading. Coming from 1/35 military I am more used to rust and weathering ;)
Santa should hire you for the workshop 😂
🤣 I'd be in for it
Superb modeling throughout. Just a beautiful build all around. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much! It was a really fun build, the Copper State Models kits are criminally underrated.
Your models are very intriguing. The explanation of your work provides great understand. Very pleased with your results and will be waiting for the next master piece to come out.
Thanks Stephen, I hope I will live up to the expectations 😅
That is so nice! The presentation is very good too. Hopefully more people see your work.
Thanks a lot Mike :)
love love the daisies....excellent work all the way around!
Thanks a lot, really appreciate your feedback
This is a great series of videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them and also for making them so entertaining with your humor.
Thanks a lot for your feedback. Happy you enjoyed the series!
That is totally awesome. Fantastic work 👏 👍
Thanks a lot Garth!

Great stuff Alleyman. Love your humour. A cracking podcast if you are not already onto it is We Have Ways of Making You Talk. 👍
Thanks for your words. Your podcast recommendation comes at the right time, will definitely check it out

FAN-TAS-TIC WORK, LOVE IT
Thank you!
Well done, cracking job and outstanding details on the pilot/plane!
Thank you, Phil, much appreciated!
No smoking on the flight line, but excellent results on that base, and pilot also the aircraft.
Thanks a lot. Hesitated with smoke residue but didn't really see them on my references so I stayed away
Completely awesome! Looks perfect, I'm happy I found Your channel. All the best for You! ;)

Ok, I have watched all your videos. very inspiring work. I love you work very much. Thanks for sharing. =)

Excellent!
Thanks!
Your figure painting looks pretty damn good to me
Beginner's luck and following the right tutorials ;)

what are your next projects- maybe a ship (I really, really hope so) - can' t wait for the next video.

Really great series of videos on this beautiful plane, I enjoyed watching and learned a lot - thank you!
I hope you have more such projects (especially WW1 birds) coming :)
Left a sub for the future.
Thanks for the sub and good news: there's surely no shortage of WW1 birds in my stash 😅
@@TheAlleyman Oh how I wish I could say the same about my tiny WW1 stash ;) Gonna start my first one this week.
Great, we need more WW1 modellers out there. What will you be building?
@@TheAlleyman I will start the Special Hobby Morane Saulnier Type N. A plane I always liked and I hope an "easy" entry into painting wood, rigging and fabric shading. Coming from 1/35 military I am more used to rust and weathering ;)
@@TheAlleyman oh, and after watching your build videos I ordered a Nieuport 🤣
Got any new vids in the pipeline mate?
I actually have my next one half way done since 2 months but I got distracted by some Arma Hobby kits 😅 really need to get back on track
