Looking ahead...

As the build starts to come together I wanted a little preview to fuel the fire so I temporarily snapped the lower wing in place. Still have to do a slight bit of putty work on the top fuselage join but not much.

Wingnut Wings Fokker DVII

Taking a break from figures, I am making progress on my 1/32 scale Fokker DVII from Wingnut Wings. Here are a couple of views of the cockpit so far. Still have to add a few details and do some painting but it is coming along.

A Simple Conversion...

The stock figure is a 54mm Gordon Highlander from the Tommy's War range of WWI kits. The top picture shows the box art of an assembled kit. My conversion is below. The new arms and weapon were taken from other kits in the range and a simple turning of the head creates an even more defiant Highlander. Simple and effective.

Now he's done...

Added the groundwork. Kept it subtle so it doesn't take away from the figure.

Almost Finished!

The figure is done...just have to do the groundwork. 120mm 82nd Airborne sculpted by M. Corry and available from from Mitch's Military Miniatures. Painted with oils over acrylics.

Also on the bench is a 1/32 scale Fokker DVII from Wingnut Wings. I have long been a fan of WWI aircraft and these kits are state of the art. I have been working on applying the lozenge pattern decals to the upper and lower wing surfaces of both the upper and lower wings. Dark on the topside and lighter underneath. The decals are an aftermarket set from Aviattic and are a treat to work with.

In-progress 120mm WW2 American Paratrooper (82nd) from Mitch's Military Miniatures. Sculpted by Maurice Corry. Painted in oils over acrylics. Nice kit...cleanup took a little longer than usual...mostly on the small parts.
