Thanks so much for watching guys, and sticking with the channel!
There is building a model, and then there is art.
The wood finish, the shading, the weathering. Those are what sets these models in that above and beyond category.
Thank you so much man :) it really means a lot, I'm glad you like it
I have the Eduard Camel & co kit in my stash. Two camels in one kit. Was looking for some inspiration online. This helped, thank you.
Beautiful work. I am more into WWII planes, but videos like this are tempting me to dive into some WWI biplanes!
Thanks so much!
Great looking plane, well done. I bought the Comic edition of this the other week. I'll need to get some oils for the wood effect technique.
Cheers! Have fun with yours!
That wood looks fantastic. And you make it look very easy!
Haha thank you!
Beautiful build beautifully done. I've got one to start thanks to the inspiration you've provided. If I might...I'm thinking that the area under the gun holes would probably be metal rather than wood grain. Just a thought. Again, many thanks!
Thanks so much! It's my pleasure 😊 you're probably right lol, I didn't research this build as much as I should have haha
Beautiful work !!!
Excellent work. I would have liked to see a little more detail how you set up the rigging.
I got this biplane: 1/32 ACADEMY SOPWITH CAMEL, it has a good size...and you have given me a couple of good tips with your video...
Greetings from Panama👍
Thanks so much! Yeah, apologies about the rigging, was very hard to film and my clips came out blurry haha. I'll make a dedicated video on it 👍
Beautifully done👍🏻 Biplanes are underrated , the combination of metal, wood, and fabric, that you mastered on this model is very nice. I built a Nieuport 17, by Academy that was nowhere close to this quality and skill, but still fun to build and I love the efficient low tech of these planes. Thank you for sharing.👋🏻
I know right? They should get so much more attention, absolutely gorgeous aircraft! Glad you enjoyed and thanks for watching mate
Outstanding work.
Thank you :)
Greetings my friend, that was a outstanding buildon a very iconic WW1 piece of machinery, congratulations on a job well done, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍
Really glad you like it! Many thanks mate!
Wow! Beautiful build!
Thank you!
Excellent result, and very instructive and entertaining video. 😃
Thank you!
This is truely awesome i will be following this at every step!
Glad you like it 😊
Beautiful work on the cockpit - the woodgrain effect is perfect
Thank you very much mate :)
Your attention to detail and skill level are excellent.
Thank you so much :)
Ive got 1/32nd scale build so your work will be helpful resource. Great build!❤
Thank you mate!
BRO i literally just bought this kit and have been trying to find a build vid of it!! so excited!!
Perfect timing haha!!
Is this a new kit or that old Pup from mid 00s?
@@Pijawek 2019 or 2020 tooling can't remember - it's a really nice kit
Stunning piece of work. The painting was masterful. Truly one to be proud of!
Thank you so much!
Awe inspiring build! 👍👍 I really enjoyed how you shared the post shading and weathering techniques you used...thank you.
Thank you so much! And no problem 😊
excellent build @modellingWeekly, appreciate the shout for the woodgrain video, your second go on the exterior was spot on. On to the kit, the quality looks excellent, surface detail and fit was Ace, I have the Se5 in the stash, it looks like I may build it sooner than expected lol, if the construction is anything like this anyway. Top Job !
Thank you James! Glad you approve of the wood grain haha. Yeah it was a beautiful little kit, might have to get a hold of the Se5 as well if this anything to go by! Cheers mate
Love the woodgrain. Great looking build all around
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Wow! Impressive & inspirational build. Museum quality.
Thanks so much!
It looks great. Unbelievable detail.
Thanks!!
Brilliant! Happy to found this Video. It will help a lot for my first Sopwith Build. 💪🏻👍🏻
My pleasure!
Unbelievably gorgeous. Can’t wait to start mine!
Thank you so much! Have fun with your build 😊
Awesome work. Love the wood panels too
Thanks so much!
Have this kit, or similar Eduard profipack in my stash. Good to know this stuff!
Most excellent! Love the wood effect!
Thank you!
Thanks, a beautiful piece of work. I know this is basic, but it would also have been helpful to see how you glued the fuselage halves together given that the parts were already painted.
Thank you! For the fuselage halves, I literally just squeezed them together and ran some extra thin cement along the outside join seam - the paint from the airbrush is super thin, so the extra thin cement just dissolves it and does the job :)
Really nice build mate!
Thanks!! Glad you like it!
Absolutely beautiful work. She turned out amazing. I love Eduards kits and this one is on my wishlist.
Thanks! Glad you like it :) It's a very nice kit
That wood looks amazing
Thanks very much man!
Great build and share Paul.
Thanks mate !
Many thanks!
Great work!!! 🎉
Thank you :)
Wow! absolutely gorgeous!
Thanks!
another fantastic build matey!! seriously good work
Thanks Mos!!
Excellent, well done!!
Cheers!
Turned out amazing 👏🏼 Fabulous build Sir! 👍🏻
Many thanks!
Well done mate, you made it look relatively easy,i have never built a WW1 aircraft, so watching your video made me think of trying my luck,again well done mate.
Thank you very much! I'm glad it helped
Beautiful build!!
cheers!
Great job, very inspiring. I'm buying one of these for sure.
Thank you so much :)
Looks wonderful. I have a handful of WW1 planes in the stash. I have to admit being hesitant about oil paints for the wood finish. I think I just need to get over it and try.
Thank you mate 😊 the beauty of using oils is that it's completely reversible - if you don't like the effect, wipe it off with spirit and start over! It's got huge potential so I'd 100% take the plunge and give it a try 👍
Great work. Good luck with your exam results!
Thank you!
wow incredible work
Many thanks!
Very nice! 👍
Cheers!
Thanks for Sharing, Paul.
No problem, it's my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed and thanks so much for the donation :)
Wow! Your job is really inspiring! Great use of masking.
Thank you man, really appreciate it!
Such a great job! Looks fantastic! More Bi-Planes please.
Thanks! I do actually have another one lined up as my next full build...interwar, but still a biplane!
Great Job and a perfect Wood effect. I have Seen lpj Models Tutorial too and always wanted to try it out. Maybe this is the sign 😂
Have a go at it! It's a lot of fun and isn't too tricky after a practice run 👍 definitely one of the most enjoyable parts of the build. Glad you enjoyed :)
Gah I'm the year below you and when I heard you were doing this on top of your A-levels I was just amazed as to how you manage to get on with it with such a workload? I haven't made any models at all this year because when I start one, I always guilt trip myself into doing more Maths instead. And when I'm burnt out from that, I'll end up doing the most useless thing possible and watching TH-cam all evening! Honestly inspirational though because making model aircraft has always been a huge benefit to my mental health and I must be able to find time for it if you can make whole videos on it!
Yeah it's been a pretty stressful period to say the least haha. There was roughly a 3 week period before exams started where I barely did any modelling, however before then it was just a case of time management to be fair - on a weekly basis I set myself revision targets that I had to meet, and as a self-reward for those I allowed myself to have Saturdays off with reduced workload on Sundays (this is the period that I did most of my modelling and TH-cam work). Alongside this I did manage to fit some modelling in the evenings, as I made sure to stop revising by 18:00 every day to make sure I wasn't burnt out. But yeah, just a case of setting yourself targets and allowing yourself to have some personal time without feeling guilty about it :) best of luck with your exams next year mate, you'll smash them, and don't stress too much! 👍
@@ModellingWeekly Thankyou so much for the detailed reply! That sounds like a good strategy honestly. I found myself working very late into the night this year and I reckon by the time exams came around, I was burnt out. I do work in a museum on Sundays so I give myself that time off but I really want to be able to do more modelling. I really appreciate the advice and well done on your Gladiator video. I just watched it and it was stunning!
Loved the build and the fastidious paintwork. Impressive, almost daunting as I set out to build my first plastic kit, a similar aircraft. This praise may soften the blow of my only criticism which is the “music”. It did not enhance the experience at all and was boringly repetitive and even intrusive. Your voice is good enough alone to carry the video but something is needed; the sound equivalent of a base coat. Maybe treat the background sounds like you do your painting; mottling for example with silences, airbrush sounds, subliminal music with varying motifs. Think a little more of the viewer experience; the whole video is the product not just the exquisite model and the “how to” components - which are a joy to watch.
I hope you don’t mind these remarks and take them in the spirit intended. pg
I'm glad you liked the model! I completely understand what you mean with the backing track, and I can definitely understand that for some people it detracts from the overall experience to varying extents. I do want to switch it up, and I've been working with the guy who does my music for a while now to think up some new content. At the same time however, I've had a huge amount of praise over the past few years for the smooth and unchanging background music, as I've been told that it sort of smooths out the video and makes it a calming watch - so you can imagine that with conflicting views it's hard to decide what step to take haha. I've also experimented in the past with airbrush and modelling sounds, however it's impossible to record these live due to background noises in the house, as well as my extraction fan which is incredibly loud and overpowering haha.
Might put it down to a channel poll or something like that, because at the end of the day I want to follow what the fans want! I appreciate your comment.
Beautiful job
Thank you :)
i like Eduard, but I do wish their landing gear used a more positive 'pin and hole' arrangement.
very nice, mate, I've been thinking of doing a WW1 plane and this is is a big inspiration to do one!
Thanks! Definitely give one a shot, it's a great opportunity to try out some different techniques 👍
@@ModellingWeekly yes for sure!
Great build. It inspired me to get the Clerget version of the Camel from Eduard. Cannot wait to build it and make a diorama for it (have the 2000s eduard RFC personnel kit).
Many thanks, and Fantastic! Glad you got the inspiration to make a dio with one of these amazing birds 👍
Beautiful plane. I’m still looking for it. From Indonesia 🇮🇩. Salam kenal 👋
Excellent build young fella. (Better job on the wood than James tbf.) Hope you did well with your A's too.
Many thanks haha, yes indeed fingers crossed!!
Great job! Thanks for sharing this! Just out of curiosity, when glueing the painted parts, do you scrape paint and use cement or just leave as is and use CA? Thanks!
Cheers! It kind of depends what I'm doing - for parts that will receive quite a bit of strain like landing gear legs I'll most likely opt for ca, but for most parts a little bit of cement is ok (unless they're really small, in which case I'll go back to CA as the melted paint will be really obvious otherwise)
Thats a fantastic and inspiring build!!! My friend the photo etch rigging lines was specific for this model kit or generic ? Any link etc ?
Heya, thanks so much! I got the rigging lines from a company called SBS model, and they're for this particular kit - I bought them through hannants in the UK :)
Absolutely amazing work - such a stunning model! A bit too complicated for me though - all that rigging lol
Thanks so much Matt! Yeah, I started doing the rigging by hand and thought sod this I'm buying an etched set 😂
@@ModellingWeekly sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do lol
Not my thing as I’m a ship modeller. I keep watching because of the process and the quality of the final build. Well done! Always learning something new that may come in handy for the future. Thanks for sharing!
Interdisciplinary watching is always good! Glad you enjoyed and found it somewhat helpful :) many thanks mate
Great work!! Will copy your wood technique definitely. Where are the PE rigging lines from? Couldn't find them anywhere 😢
Glad you like it! I bought the rigging lines from hannants - they're made by a company called AIMS, couldn't find another seller apart from hannants
Wow this model is fantastic! I wish you had shown how to paint the wooden propellor, that part other than the rigging is hardest part for me to do. Nonetheless, a fantastic build.
Thank you! Thats actually a really valuable insight, thank you for pointing that out - I left the propeller out because I assumed it would get a bit monotonous after already showing the wood effect on the fuselage, but now you point it out it was rather tricky! I'll keep it in mind for next time 👍
Never heard of removing decal carrier film with white spirit!😮
It's something I recently picked up! Works really well!
WOOOOOOO
Let's go
Eduard made a typo and the instruction sheet shows 1/72 scale. 0:49
Well spotted!
An excellent tutorial for my first attempt at using oils on models. I did the cockpit interior walls yesterday and the paint still hasn't dried. It looks like your paint dries immediately and you've able to varnish right away. Or are you waiting for it to dry? Thanks again. Can't wait to tackle the rest of this model.
Hey! I waited for about 5 or 6 hours for mine to dry. It's odd yours hasn't - what did you use to thin it? And what brand of oil paint did you use? Also, sometimes the excess oil in the paint can be a problem if you don't drain it away using a piece of cardboard to begin with.
I'm using cheap hobby store paints (I know, I know...). Thinned with (you guessed it) cheap hobby store thinner. I opened the tubes for the first time (same colors as you) and large blobs of oil came out. I should have done something about that. Next time! @@ModellingWeekly
@@sebsi23 ahh, fair enough - yeah, I reckon the main issue will be the excess oil in the paint - if you apply blobs of the paint to a piece of card and leave it to soak for half an hour, the excess oil should mainly be removed and you'll be ok (hopefully!) As you say, always next time!
Thanks again. Semper Paratus! @@ModellingWeekly
Great build. Looks beautiful. Can you please give more details on the rigging set that you used? thanks.
Thanks! It's a set by AIMS www.scalemates.com/kits/aims-pe48014-sopwith-camel-f1-bracing-wires-designed-be-used-with-eduard-kits--1453555
Thanks
@@SMAZVidoes no problem :)
real nice or better to say awesome
Thank you mate 😊
Apologies if this has already been asked, but who makes the photo etch you used with the flat cross-section rigging? I couldn't find it in Eduard's catalogue. I think it looks significantly better that stretch line or similar.
No worries! I probably should have mentioned it in the vid haha, it's by a company called 'sbs model', they really are fantastic! The only advice I'll give is to get some spare blades handy, they wear them out in no time lol
@@ModellingWeekly thanks for the very quick reply. I'll have a look for them for my Camel Comic!
Nice one! What are your plans after A levels?
Thanks! I'm currently an offer holder for a degree in aerospace engineering up in Sheffield so fingers crossed for results day on that one 😅 if that falls through then it's a gap year and a whole lot of TH-cam for me haha!
@@ModellingWeekly That sounds fantastic! Always liked Sheffield, but I was last there in 1984, so I'm not the one to ask about nightlife etc!
@@paulhargreaves1497 thanks! Yeah I loved it when I went to visit, student union is supposed to be the best in the UK so I'm putting my hopes up!
