Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 Early | Wingnut Wings 1/32 | Part Seven

I started to paint the pilot figure.
Underpainting of Tamiya flat buff and oils for the leather.

I casted the second epoxy layer.
Now the Hansa is afloat ;-)

Once the epoxy is fully cured I will demould the base.

Just an impression :-)

Hansa-Brandenburg W.12 Early | Wingnut Wings 1/32 | Part Six

Casting the Sea


I casted the first layer of SKresin 72,
a slow curing clear epoxy resin.


The Hansa is placed and posisioned on a
simple jig made from balsa.

The jig defines the height of the float plane above "sea level".

The jig takes also care of the angle of attack of the lower wings.

Shells made from PE by INDUSTRIA MECHANIKA
and MAGIC SCULP.

Fish are also made from PE by INDUSTRIA MECHANIKA and
some MAGIC SCULP.
