Really liked watching the Stearman build. It's a stunner!

Great work on the Siemens Schuckert D.III as well. The engine has a lovely finish on it.

Thanks all
The prop is now done.
First I painted on Vallejo natural wood.

Image


The I did a topcoat of Vallejo woodgrain

Image

I then masked it and repainted with natural wood

Image

To finish I did a top coat of a mix of woodgrain and transparent orange

Image

There are some blemishes but then wood has blemishes so that's my excuse for them.

Great work with the prop. Can't see any steps between paint coats. Well done.

Wow Toby! Been looking back at your work, it is inspirational and I am certainly filing away some of your techniques. Great stuff.

Thanks chaps. Away for a few days in Devon and Cornwall sampling the local delights :ha:
In the meantime here's an update. Fitted the gauge between the MGs
Image

Hopefully got a close match with UK intermediate blue by Vallejo

Image

Fitted the controls. Not as difficult as I thought although one of the levers was broken and had to be reglued. Couldn't quite get it straight but it won't show..I hope

All very good progress Toby and you really have got that wood effect off to a tee IMHO.

I'm enjoying this build immensely; some really good techniques in use and loads to learn from. Cracking job!
Best wishes
