Wingnut Wings | 1/32 Halberstadt Cl.ii | Full Build

Absolutely insane build!

[@petermerz2704]

Beautiful build. Can’t go wrong with Wingnut Wings! I especially liked the double paint job. Gives character to the plane. Fantastic!

[@lpjmodels]

Thankyou Peter 🙂

[@andrewredman4551]

You can go very wrong with Wingnut Kits. Good build James.

[@ExplodingTrafficCone]

The woodgrain on that propeller is 😍

[@jonfoisy1237]

Stellar job James. The paint job is very eye catching and a refreshing change from the drab colors that us military modelers are used to working with. Cheers!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree Jon

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Jon ! It was a nice change. I'm glad I had a decent yellow otherwise the process might have been painful.

[@kamilhattoum5556]

Exquisite. WNW can be unforgiving. You really did it proud. Just exquisite.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Kamil !

[@johnbercaw1941]

This video has probably the best audio, video, and instructional clarity I have yet seen on KZbin. The resultant model is stunning. Great work, keep it up.

[@lpjmodels]

Thankyou John that's good to hear ! You never know you're doing it right until someone says

[@robbo1068]

Simply stunning, James! It's a rarity to see WW1 aircraft, let alone a WNW kit, built on YT so I absolutely cherished every second of the build. The final result is true testament to your modelling and artistic skills and your perfection with details. All kudos to the patreon for donating this aircraft and to you for sharing the build with us viewers.....smashing job all round👏

[@lpjmodels]

Thankyou Robbo for the kind words, there are more WNW builds planned but because of their intensity I need to space them out 😆

[@davidbullock5425]

As a build I would say this is the best I have seen, in fifty years as a modeller

[@lpjmodels]

That's very kind David thankyou

[@rons5438]

We all have some things that we excel at, I would say that yours are your airbrush technique, and especially your wood grain. Another great build, thanks for the video!

[@lpjmodels]

Ron that's very kind thankyou. I put a lot of time into my airbrush work, many hours and hours of practice at the start and Iy was worth the effort. Woodgrain is going well but there are a few areas I could improve, like matching a ply pattern as opposed to more or less regular streaks. That's on my list to look at.

[@rons5438]

@@lpjmodels when I need to do a specific / matching pattern I tend to draw it with a pencil, carve it in with a knife or scribing tool, and then use an oil wash to create the contrast. I found I could never make just the paint brush do what I want...

[@egallagher41]

Your patience and attention to detail is phenomenal, it is great to observe an artist at work, thank you for this.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Edward for watching, glad you like it !

[@jordanelder2627]

your painting is quite lovely. in my opinion ww1 is where you really tend to shine. thanks for all the great content.

[@lpjmodels]

Thankyou Jordan ! I love ww1 but I also like branching out. My goal now is to level up my skills a bit more

[@thebiggestoneyouveverhad]

The propeller was my favorite bit. That looked amazing...

Mate... This is truly insane. I'm actually speechless. I even showed my wife (who really doesn't like modelling at all) and even she was impressed. Truly a fantastic job!!

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Tiptoe , high praise! Its always nice to reach the non modellers.

[@andygorman858]

Unique colour scheme talked masterfully by one of the best YT model masters! Beautiful work on an amazingly engineered kit.

[@lpjmodels]

Andy that's very kind thankyou !

[@henrythefonz]

Incredible workmanship, truly museum quality

[@saratoga1956]

Hmmm … great idea to have the seat on the fuel tank 😮 what could possibly go wrong 😊 great build!

[@GryphonArmorer]

With insignia, especially with those as simple as the two styles of iron crosses, you really should paint them on. Other than that. Great model. Well done. 👍👍 Thanks for sharing your work. 😉🤙

[@lpjmodels]

That's a good call mate and something I am not shy about doing ( my ki61 is 99% painted) I lost my access to a scanner and printer lately otherwise I would have scanned the decals and printed them off on light card, and used vinyl mask to cut the shapes. There is a big gap in the ww1 aircraft paint mask market

[@GryphonArmorer]

@@lpjmodels and “they” say tech makes life easier. When it works. Right? I just hate on newer/modern aircraft, armor & other vehicles that I have to mix paint & decal because the fine text, or just go ahead and use only decals. I know I could go with dry transfer, but some are hard to find or I just don’t want to pay what they want. I guess that’s part of the fun of modeling though. Keep up the great work. I always enjoy your videos. 😉

[@jdorsey9]

An absolute master class on WW1 weathering. I will reference your techniques in this video often. Thanks for the video!

[@lpjmodels]

You're welcome Jeff, glad you like the vid

[@saburu79666]

Another stunning build, JC! 👏 Super talent and phenomenal attention to detail. 😯 Also featured my favourite quote so far: "There's nothing worse than seeing obviously double stacked decals showing through your clear-coat..." Amazing! 😁 Can't wait for what's next... ✌😎

[@gartsherriejunction4643]

A superb video with plenty of skill, not only in bringing the kit together but your skill in painting and weathering an iconic model. May I say your choice in choosing Tron Legacy background music (or something sounding similar to it) was sublime. Thank you. Mike

Thanks Mike, Glad you like the music, it took a lot of trial and error to find something I liked that others didn't ming 😀

[@vicsminiatures7949]

Beautiful work James. I have a Wingnut Wings kit in my stash that I want to build but it scares the crap out of me with all of the detail. You have done a fantastic job with this one.

[@lpjmodels]

Thanks Vic, they are easy to build, go for it, the rigging needs a bit of thinking and planning but nothing you can't handle 😀

[@roelantverhoeven371]

impressive! WWI planes and tanks are the most fun to model!

[@junon3pek]

A very enjoyable built set, very educational and I found it enjoyable. I have some Wingnut Wings kits myself, but will not start on them until I have gained a little more experience. Like starting with some of the Roden, Special Hobby or Copper State Models set.

[@lpjmodels]

Honestly, aside from Copper State who's newer kits are amazing, they wnw are easier to build than roden and special hobby. If you take your time with the kit you'll be fine. This is my first completed biplane, all of the others I have done in the past have just fallen to bits when it came to putting on the upper wing.

[@junon3pek]

@@lpjmodels Thank you for the answer. If I can build the Roden and Special Hobby sets to a result I'm happy with, then I'll probably take the chance with Wingnut Wings. Those kits are way too expensive in the used market, so it is advisable to me to get it right on the first try.

[@joeokabayashi8669]

Great build! I appreciate a color scheme that avoids using lozenge decals. I've yet to figure those out and am skeptical that the decal colors will silver over time. Then there is also for me something wrong about covering so much surface area of a model with decals.

[@kenhanson1819]

Beautiful build, James! I really enjoyed your step-by-step build explanations. Ver helpful information for me to try on my future builds.

Absolutely epic work building this amazing model!

[@allanrichards6448]

Just caught up on this after being away for a few days. That's a great build and I think you made a superb job of the covered over previous colour scheme. These Wingnut models make for excellent details and build quality but, as you say, there is so much "but I know its there" detail. I am actually thinking of having the cockpit as a stand alone model on my next Wingnut build and scratch building enough detail for the cockpit in the aircraft model itself

[@ModellingWeekly]

I'm so sorry I couldn't make the premiere. This thing is absolutely beautiful! I can't get enough of that wood grain effect haha, must give that a go. Nice one james! Edit: Also, forgot to mention, very nice camera work mate 👍 all came off in the end!

Beautiful work mate cheers 👌

[@lpjmodels]

Thankyou Tony

[@markIburgess]

Hi James, This one slipped by without me noticing. What a fantastic build. New camera and what appears to be better lighting has really upped the quality which was great anyway. What a shame that WNW has gone and I am thankful for the stash that I panic bought last year. Maybe they will reappear in the future. I am glad that the Lancaster is coming out under the Border Model label but having my sensible head on doubt very much that I will get one. Too pricey and where the hell would I put it and I could imagine that it would be a real mojo killer, still would like one though. I wonder if the promised Handley Page 0/100 may appear from another manufacturer. I would love one of those. Mind you I have a Gotha G.IV and Felixstowe in the stash already and they are beyond my skill set/patience at the moment. Thanks for another great video. Best wishes, Mark P.S. The video went down well with a nice large glass of Merlot. lol

[@lpjmodels]

Hi Mark thanks for the great feedback ! Lighting is the same at the moment but the camera is a bit more forgiving up to 400iso. That border lanc looks lovely but as you said, the size and the price are a massive turn off. The 0/100 would be epic . Thanks again mate !

[@taumelscheibe5948]

Amazing work! I'll have to try that wood grain technique. Btw. have you tested if your rigging wires can be heat shrunk like the Uschi van der Rosten wires. If so you don't have to glue them under tension, in my experience a soldering iron works best to heatshrink rigging wires.

[@lpjmodels]

Taumel no I haven't tried that, first time I'm hearing of it, I'll have to do some experimenting thankyou

[@hissycatbuilds]

Love the effort you go to in your builds. =)

[@rlabiche]

great job on the Halberstadt may I ask what color was the fuel tank and the seat you don't mention it here

The Fuel tank was MRP brass, but Alclad brass is a much superior paint. The seats are just woodgrain as demonstrated on the side panels.
