Project Information
Ever since my Amiga days, I loved the Cinemaware game "Wings". A facination of World War I airplanes was born.
This is my first finer woodworking project, and Im quite pleased with the result, to be honest.
The plane is built to scale of the original german Fokker Dr1, but adjusted to be more estetic than anatomicly correct. Not like I plan on throwing it in the air, and expecting anything but a devastating crashlanding.
Dark wood: Cumaru
Light wood: Plain Pinewood
Finish: 3 x Linseed oil
In the future, I have planned to make an allied "Sopwith Camel" in beech to hit the right colour.
I dislike painting on woodprojects, but is considdering painting the german cross symbol on wings and tailrudder.
Thin line to avoid "cheapening it" with paint. Hmmm… Inlayed symbols in different wood?
Regards
Sheisserick
