| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 09-Dec-16 11:31 |  | | Views : 402 | | Each balsa layer sheet plank was brush painted in acrylic paint - 1st layer "Bronze" color, 2nd layer "Burnt Umber" color, and 3rd layer "Brown" color, and repeating Bronze, Burnt Umber, Brown, Bronze, etc. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 09-Dec-16 11:27 |  | | Views : 368 | | My best balsa laminated hand carved (mostly sanded) prop - a German "Axial" prop. I made the prop carving block out of 13 layers of 1/32" balsa sheet planks. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 08-Dec-16 17:40 |  | | Views : 455 | | Some of the tissue on the fuse came out so badly wrinkled, I had to cut out 4 panel squares for patching. It was a good thing that I had glued the edges of all the formers and longerons to the Metallic Silver tissue - it made it easy to cut out, and easy to glue on, the new panel section patches. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 08-Dec-16 17:29 |  | | Views : 395 | | First try at Metallic Silver tissue. It was cutting tin foil with scissors. I had an inkling that it would not shrink well, or at all. |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 08-Dec-16 17:18 |  | | Views : 416 | | 3 Color Scheme; - Dark Grey-rudder, top of wings and stab; - Light Gray, underside of wings and stab; Metallic Silver, fuselange and fin and cowling |
| LASTWOODSMAN | Aero-Werkes AW 11607 - Pfalz Dr.I Triplane | Parked | 08-Dec-16 15:11 |  | | Views : 360 | | I cut out and made my own decals out of gloss "Black" and outllined with "Aluminum" adhesive backed (peel 'n stick) "Trim Sheets" from Top Flite - sheets are 5" X 36". They are 9.5 thou thick, of which the backing peel is 6.0 thou, leaving a 3.5 thou thick decal to stick on. I cut out paper templates of the wing and fuse sections, inked on marks to lline up with ribs and formers, cut out the holes in the paper template a little larger than tha actual decal size, and then used masking tape to hold the paper template on the wing and fuse, for perfect positioning of the decal. |
