Wingnut Wings Fokker D.VII-early, 1/32, Stopmotion

This little clip shows the entire process of assembling the beautiful Fokker D.VII kit from Wingnut Wings in the colours of Reinhold van Benz, Jasta 78b. He flew his aircraft in August 1918 and had one sole victory over a Salmson 2-A2.

It's an interesting coincidence the Salmson was my first Wingnut Wing kit: • Wingnut Wings Salmson ...
Primarily I decided to build the blue aircraft for it's visible engine. I hope you enjoy my little experiments.
If you want to see how the engine was built you might see it here: • HowTo: Improve the Mer... .
And here's the clip of my wood experiment painting the dashboard: • HowTo: Painting wooden... .
Dieses kleine Video zeigt den Zusammenbau des hervorragenden Bausatzes der Fokker D.VII von Wingnut Wings in der Lackierung von Reinhold van Benz der Jasta 78b. Er flog sein Flugzeug im August 1918 und hatte damit einen dokumentierten Abschuss einer Salmson 2-A2. Es ist ein interessanter Zufall, dass ich eben jene Salmson bereits zuvor schon gebaut und verfilmt hatte: • Wingnut Wings Salmson ...
Der Hauptgrund aber die Fokker D.VII in gewählter Variante zu bauen lag in der freien Sicht auf den Motor.
Unter folgendem link können weitere Details zum Zusammenbau des Motors gefunden werden: • HowTo: Improve the Mer... .
Und hier gibt es einen Clip, der mein Experiment wiedergibt, wie ich versuche das Armaturenbrett "hölzern" wirken zu lassen: • HowTo: Painting wooden... .
Wingnut Wings: "The legendary Fokker D.VII is widely considered the best German fighter aircraft to emerge from the Great War. Wether this is true or not, it was certainly the most numerous and as such was the only aircraft specifically requested to be surrendered in the Allies armistice terms. In Early 1918 the young Jasta pilots were mainly equiped with Albatros D.Va, Pfalz D.IIIa and the Fokker Dr.1 Triplane which were no match for the SE.5a, SPAD 13 and Sopwith Camels that they faced each day. Fokker's prototype D.VII (the V.11) impressed the front line pilots present at the First Fighter Trials in January-February 1918 so much that word soon started to leak out about a new Fokker that would once again return air superiority to the Germans. So great was the need for this promising new fighter that, in addition to production at Fokker, Albatros were ordered to manufacture it under license at their Johannisthal (Alb) and Schneidemühl (OAW - Ostdeutsche Albatros Werke) factories, incidentally building more that twice the number of D.VII as Fokker!...."

The production quality of your videos is top notch and very unique in the world of scale modelling videos. You deserve more subscribers.

[@TomGrigat]

Thank you for your kind words. I hope my channel might grow a little bit over time. I try to post periodically.

[@willabe566]

This is my favourite video from you, great job! Your music choice is great, you build things that no one else has built on KZbin, your camera positioning is great, the video isn't too long, your stop motion is very entertaining, your painting is professional, your builds are professional and the white background is great and it looks very modern! Thank you so much Tom :)

[@TomGrigat]

you're welcome - and thanks for your kind words. I'm glad my type of modelling/composing works for you. 😊

[@vixiki]

My thoughts, and I wonder why these videos are not in the millions of views...

[@cavekritter1]

Control wires engine wires and hoses and internal lozenge paint that will never be seen...i salute your dedication sir!!!

[@khaledabobakr993]

You see it once .. and feel complete whenever you think about it while gazing at it whether you're the builder or proud owner .. you'll always know this is the real deal you know what's under the hood .. it's perfect ... it's complete ... no compromise ... it's the mindset of a perfectionist .... working with him

[@multa765]

When I was young, modelling and had steady hands I thought I was pretty clever painting in a pilot's moustache. Now I realise that it was a clumsy daubing. This gentleman is in another league, he probably paints in the pilot's nose hair.

[@hcrun]

Stunning! I've had that Wingnuts kit sitting in a cupboard for over a decade, with the intent of one day assembling it. After watching this video I think I'll leave it where it is; I could never do half as good a job as Tom has done.

[@jameshickman5299]

I despair after watching one of your videos. Not even in my wildest dreams do my modeling skills approach yours. But I cannot resist the siren song of your creations. Your modeling is exquisite. Your videos are first rate. I'd like to hate you, but I can't. Keep up the wonderful work.

[@khaledabobakr993]

Watching your videos is very satisfying ...... your view count is an alarming signal of how twisted our world is ... yet you manage to bring us happiness from your own world and pour in into ours ... thank you ... This is not a building tutorial ... this is a high dose of good healthy happiness !! History should remember you Tom

Wow!!!!! Great model making skills, but your stop motion skills are freaking amazing! Keep up the great work. What about doing a Bandai Star wars Snow Speeder.

Thanks - and a good idea... But I have some gundams in my stash waiting for assembling first.

[@andrewlabat9963]

[@TomGrigat]

I'm happy to hear you like my work. Feel free to explore the other stop motion attempts. Have fun

[@Deses]

Tom, you leave me speechless, and a little watery eyed... that was an amazing job!

[@TomGrigat]

I'm glad you like, thanks 😊

[@thermolux2267]

amaizing video !! I have never seen something like THIS! How many time you need to make this brillinat movie?

[@dees9502]

Riveting! Another first class video, my friend. I’m curious about how long it takes you to film a 4 minute video in stop motion?

[@TomGrigat]

Oh, it's difficult to say. I remembered it last about 3 months or so...

[@thomasr.bartonjd7815]

as i watched the propeller segment again i wonder if you have ever made a model of an early Sikorsky helicopter, so mechanical and so seemingly fragile and elegant at once.

[@SgtVegas]

Pls do a Junkers Ju 52/3 Model

[@j.vanguard4654]

I have no idea how you can make such videos and at the same time great models. How long does it take to make such a video by moving the parts all around? Incredible!

[@Biggles-gm6tm]

Simply beautiful. How did you paint the wing and interior cockpit colours?

[@TomGrigat]

The wing decors are decals - the cockpit is a combination of enamel and acrylic.

[@robertcapek2425]

Tom, I love your videos. Watching them early in the evening is more relaxing than a hot bubble bath :-) Thank you very much and please, never stop.

[@TomGrigat]

Thanks a lot - I'll keep on with animation, promise 😊

[@joenoffsinger6376]

Damnit man I hope you are having fun bc I want to see your videos for years. I did not catch why there was rigging inside but not control cables outside. Very nice 👍

[@1967250s]

A real.shame to cover up the beautiful interior detail! It really does look like it could fly away. Thanks!

[@TomGrigat]

Yes, that's the struggle with the interior detailing - but the video let them be seen...

[@JazzMan76]

Tom, these are amazing videos. I thoroughly enjoy these productions, and they are productions. First class. Well done.

Very good idea 🤔

Is there any chance you could tell me what paints you used and maybe do another video showing your step by step process of detailing and Painting so one (me) can follow and try to achieve same finish as yours on my next build which is gonna be a WNW kit. Cheers! Keep up the amazing work!

[@justinchetham-strode5234]

I've been searching the internet (unsuccessfully) for the colour scheme/livery of Herman Goerring's plane(s) during Ww1, as I would like to build a group of german fighters with differing exotic colours. I thought I'd like to include some of Germany's best known aces' planes: Immelman, Boelcke, the von Richtofen brothers, Goerring, and maybe a couple more. I'll probably concentrate on Fokker triplanes (less rigging), but throw in at least one Fokker eindecker and a Focke Wulf - can you suggest a site where I could find this information? I'm an enormous fan of your work, both the builds and the filmwork. You're one of the best around, keep up the good work!

[@TomGrigat]

Sorry, I cannot recommend any site of interest. But I'm pretty sure goering's planes were painted white.

[@TL_RC]

What camera and lens do you use for Photography, and how on earth do you place the parts out, and then later paint them, and then place them back in the exact same place to continue with the stop motion? Are you using special Stop Motion software? Final Cut? Premiere? Your work is fascinating, and my wife thinks you must be a surgeon by trade. The quality of your assembly and video production is TOP NOTCH. It's like "James May-The Reassembler" videos, but with much better production quality. I can hardly wait for the next one.
