Imagine, in 100 years, when someone finds your EggZero and then tries to find the 1/1 version in some old reference book!!!!! :-tri ;)

;) Yes Scott, you're right...

Thank you all!

You're not going to weather flying surfaces? That might as well bring to that worn look...
I don't mind, you might leave it as it is, looks great!

Yes, I will weather flying surfaces but I will use pastels for that... And Citadel inks.

THE EGG IS FINISHED !!!

Well, I've examinated the situation: very few engraved lines; large enough to be visible without an oil wash; and the decals that are partially occulting those lines... So I decided to bypass that phase. I decided also not to weather too much the plane: it's an egg before to be a real plane and in such a case I find more sympathic a nice paint than a weatehered one.

So, I've airbrushed matt varnish and I finished the plane with Tamiya pastels.

To remove the Tamiya tape out of the canopy takes a lot of time...

I like the final result. It was a funny build, really funny and a good derivative to more serious builds.

I must say that "Wash Brown" is perfect for my taste... And, of course, the color remains constantly the same even if you need a second stage...

Today I've airbrushed matt varnish (Pébéo acrylic).

Of course, WWI aircraft can be represented glossy... But I prefer a matt finish because you must take into account that those aircraft became very fast "old" ones, due to fly conditions, UV, etc...

Now I have some paintbrush work for the cockpit, and then I will glue the parts together... At last!

As you can note, the sponge protected perfectly the cockpit...

And I airbrushed black mix on the turnbuckles...

Today, oil wash. As always, I used "Wash Brown" from Abteilung 501...

Translucid decals are a problem, but fortunately you had white decal paper...

I'm also busy with the decals.

I will use the Microsculpt ones, but Eduards ones are useful to use as model. Except of course for the parts that there were no decal furnished by Eduard...

On the left, the Microsculpt.

The work will be long... But it's a funny stage!
