Nice job on the wood, especially on something so small.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

1/72 Academy Sopwith Camel Build
Posted by KosmoCramer on Monday, January 13, 2020 9:19 PM

Hello all!

After yet another few year hiatus from modeling I decided it was time to start again!  This time building Academy's 1/72 scale Sopwith Camel out of the box.

For the parts of the plane which would be wooden I decided to try a new technique.  I first painted them Model Master Acrylic Wood with an Acrylic Gloss coat on top.  After they dryed, I used my X-Acto knife and cut lines in them (not deep) to act as the wood grain.  I then made a Brown Acrylic Wash and painted over the initial coat.  Some of the wash settled nicely into the lines I carved while also adding a darker tint to the initial wood color coat.

For the portion of the propeller that would be metal - I painted it Model Master Burnt Umber, and then applied a black wash followed by dry brushing Model Master Aluminum.

For the engine I also painted it Model Master Burnt Umber followed by an acrylic black wash and then dry brushing it with Model Master Aluminum.
