With the upcoming releases by Randy, I decided to excercise my fabric once more :costumes:.

A small hint; it is a German aircraft :d

Any idea which aircraft? I must warn you as this wing fits many repaints!

I have just finished the second repaint with this wing. Hopefully I can finish the third and last one later this week.

Cheers,
Huub
 
That is some of the most Pfalz stuff I've seen lately! :d

Huub, you are an artist, that's looks superb, I need to learn more on the weathering strokes.

Caz,

There is a great tutorial at Simmers Paintshop. As it somehow didn't appear in the tutorial list at Simmers Paintshop, I was not able to find it any more. But after a clever moment I managed to find the link again!

Try this tutorial: http://www.simmerspaintshop.com/forums/general-tutorials/718-fabric-surfaces-hard-way.html

Blowhard is really incredible, but when you follow his tutorial, you will at least be able to produce something like I can produce.

(I have bookmarked the tutorial now :redf:)

Good luck!
Huub
 
Thanks one hundred times over Huub, not only have I Bookmarked that tutorial, but I have also copied and pasted the text into WordPad and also enlarged and saved all the tut images! :applause::ernae:

That is par excellence! But now I shall have to spend an entire day playing in Photoshop and ignoring my chores, because it takes us somewhat more "senior" citizens a little longer for the neurons to fire on comprehension! :costumes:

Back in the day, I did lots of model reviews. But the modeling community is scattered by arrogant political antics and adolescent oldsters, I just build them now, no reviews.

As I used to build models myself I know how small a 1:72 WW-I aircraft is. Perhaps the most astonishing thing is the amount of details on the figure!

Below some pictures of the blue Jasta15/18 aircrafts. I'm currently working on. I curently working on the "Smoking Man-n-the-moon".

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I just love to do repaints and Stuart's models are just the perfect canvas!

The Pfalz is perhaps Stuart's most detailed and complex model. Even the flight model has some historically correct suprises :d :applause: .

Ltn Walther F. Kleffel's Pfalz D-IIIa with the "smoking man-n-the-moon". However I'm not really satisfied yet :redf:.

Does anybody have a better picture form the smoking moon? I have done this one after the box art from the Roden model :kilroy:.

Cheers,
Huub

Thanks for the pictures and the link Mike. The picture form the Roden kit is the same as I already had, but it doesn't show the lower part from the moon. I also found a very poor picture from the decal set, but it too poor to be really useful.

I can recall I have seen a clear picture or drawing from the "smoking moon", but I can't remember were or when I saw it :banghead:.

So I guess you will have to do whit what I made of it :d

Well, you have that right, especially since Sir Stuart does the genre that I (and it seems you too Huub) love to see.

Just got in from getting the boys at school, have you sent the paint up yet? That ribbing looks absolutely stunning.

Will jolly well be on the lookout for it. :ernae:

Thanks Randy, indeed VERY useful! This moon looks much more realistic than the moon used by Roden.

Caz, nothing has been uploaded yet as I was not yet satisfied. I have changed the moon and some other minor things on Walther F. Kleffel's Pfalz and I have changed Hans Burckhard van Buttlar's Pfalz after I had found a description from this aircraft by Dan San Abbott. As it just sounded more logical ans as Mr Abbott clains to have pictures form the original aircraft I decided to change the repaint.
I will post some images soon.

The period between 1916 and 1941 is my favourite for aircrafts. This is the period in which you see the aircrafts really develop. As I like to see how things work, I love WW-I models.

Cheers,
Huub
