Hi Ricci - das erste Bild weckt ja schon mal mein ungeteiltes Interesse. Hope you will give us a workshop in the rigging.

Ricardo Gonzalez Ramos Yazar
Hi Mike, be sure of that 🙂 I´ll try my best.

how can i color my model parts like wood?

6 September 2013, 19:27

Ricardo Gonzalez Ramos Yazar
Hi shahriar, well this is really easy. I will show it painting the wooden fuselage.
At first paint the wooden parts with a base color i use sail colour or light orange, light brown or yellow and orange colours. It depends on the wood colour you will get later. You can mix all this colours using a different one on each wooden panel, or paint all panels in the same colour. It depends on the look off the original Plane. Use matt colours and let the base colours matt. After that the wooden colour and woodgrain will be painted with Artist oil paint. I use normally burnt umber and similar colours. I appli the oil colour with a peace off sponge. Its more difficult to Explain then to do it. I will explain it step by Step with pictures. A nice guide for this can be find at the WingNut Wings page: wingnutwings.com/ww/hintsandtips

The fuselage is prepared with acrylic colours for apply the oil paint. I Use 2 different colours. The Bottom of the Fuselage and the front part is painted Sail colour from Gunze. all the rest is painted with yellow from gunze. the panellines are darkned with sail colur and in the middle of the panels i brushed small lines with sail colour. next step will be apply the Oil paint.

Ricardo Gonzalez Ramos Yazar
The first oil color is aplied with the sponge and brush. I Use burnt siena and burnt umber. After drying one day i will brush again with a diluyent wet pencil to get a lighter colour

It looks fantastic. The wood effect is very good. I like what you did with the wings, the metal pins.

Thank you guys. Now i Hope the Decals will fit after the softener do their job. The Decals are Horrible. They are extremly thin, and they broke at the moment they get wet with water. I hope it will be not visible.

Hi Ricardo,
thx for sharing your step by step building report!
As what I can see for now, this great Albatros W.4 will end absolutely fine.
You did a lot of nice features and I will stay tuned!

Thank you. I added the Step by Step pictures for building buckles. I Hope the pictures will explain by itself.

18 September 2013, 22:07

Roy McKenzie
You pics showing how to do the buckles are great. Easy to follow and replicate.

18 September 2013, 23:35

Ricardo Gonzalez Ramos Yazar
Thank you Roy. After 2 days the wood colour is dry, so the leather around the cocpit can be painted before apply the lozzenge decals.
