I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Excellent job Steve, the wood grain looks great. I think Eduard Ritter von Schleich would be proud.

It's not night over here, and your wood grain looks great even in the English sunlight, sunlight at least for a few minutes.

Thanks Poppy, you night owl. I'm not pleased with all areas of the wood effect, but am happy enough with this first attempt.

Incredible! This looks like varnished wood. This is what really set the Albatros apart from the other WW1 birds. I think Italy had one with varnished wood also. Had a V type rear fuselage. The Pfalz D111 was also covered w/plywood but almost always was painted.

Checking out what it should look like. Up next are the prop, engine, and some teeth.

Painting of the body is complete. Black stripe is some Pactra tape, hopefully some Krylon crystal clear will blend it in.

Cockpit coaming is some solid core wire that I had laying around. Works okay but is not ideal.

Landing gear added. You can also see some of the "wood" that was painted on.

This is just keeps getting better and better. That's a perfect color for the underside of wings. Beautiful.

You're making my ears turn red. I have my oil painting teacher to thank for that, though I am about 15 years out of practice.

Just in case y'all haven't noticed, you're in the hands of a dedicated craftsman here who knows quite a bit about color as well. Gorgeous!

Paint is progressing nicely. Gray area will be painted to look somewhat like wood.

Very nice!!!!

Test panel of wood with and w/o panel lines. Stringers may act as panel lines regardless if that is my intent.

My last comment included a link to the 20% off sale at Shorty's Basement. But I think my html code clashed with James' new code for urls and have broken the comments. =(

Excellent work!

Yes, looking great. Looking forward to seeing the paint bring this one to life.
