This is the first part of a 4-part series and it will focus on the cockpit. The upcoming parts will feature the outer plane, pilot figurines, and a scenic base so stay tuned and subscribe.

Wow, wow, wow, another piece of modelling art. Attracted by "What the fokk" with its zillions of views I decided to watch The Alleyman's older clips, too. A very wise decision because they are really worth being seen.

Interesting way of doing the wood grain with a sponge! I will have to give that a try on my next build

@TheAlleyman 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks, the sponge makes a finer and more subtle grain pattern. I like that for larger surface areas. For more pronounced patterns I use the brush.

Ok.. I'm hooked. Subscribed. I just started back building Biplanes. The kits are better but the skills of modelers and available improvements are light years beyond what I did back in the old days. I hope you will help us improve an older simpler kit.... since Wingnuts is Kaput. Thanks. A video on doing/improving rigging (and where to get items) would be great.

Thanks for your nice feedback! I just uploaded the second part which is about painting the exterior. Rigging will be in the next video (but technically it's not too different from the interior rigging done here :) )

For the nylon thread I go for fishing line in .1mm thickness, it's often called 10/100. The turnbuckles I get from Gaspatch but you don't necessarily need them.

Stunning work. I will be starting my first bi-plane soon. It's the inter war years American Stearman PT-17 trainer in 1/32 from ICM. It seems an interesting kit and comes with three figures so should make a nice diorama. It's obviously not the quality of a Wingnut Wings or CSM kit, but it seems very good for the price. Been practicing making turnbuckles with 0.5mm brass tube, thin electrical wire and 1.12 fishing line. When it comes to doing it on the model though, all I can say is wish me luck! Oh, and you have another subscriber. Happy modelling my friend.

With so many painted surfaces, what glues are you using for each section? Love your work by the way.

@TheAlleyman Жыл бұрын

Thanks Steve, I usually mask off the surfaces where parts are glued together. This is mainly to avoid fit issues but it also allows me to just use plastic cement. In case that I glue on a painted surface I'm using CA glue to not mess up the paint job.

@stevebaker1514 Жыл бұрын

How much time are you spending to complete a model like this? What about your oil paint drying time?

@TheAlleyman Жыл бұрын

Well, I'm a slow builder, I tend to finish those 1/32 aircrafts over a period of 3 months. (That's not the net building time of course, I would guess I average maybe 1-2hrs a day modelling).

@TheAlleyman Жыл бұрын

Oh and on oil paint drying time: if I use the oil paint directly out of the tube e.g. for wood grain or leather painting, I let it sit for at least a day (if I'm in a hurry), better two. For most of my weathering work I put the oil paint on a cardboard to suck out the oil for a couple of hours. In this case I let the paint sit on the model for maybe 15 minutes, then hit it with a hair dryer and then I go on painting.

skiping the primer leads to unpleasant surprises, no matter the subject painted

@TheAlleyman 8 ай бұрын

Depends a bit on the paint. Lacquer or alcohol based acrylic on (clean) plastic is pretty safe. Water based acrylics without primer is a different story...
