Warbird Replicas FW190 newbie build (or possibly some wellingtons)

Its amazing isn't it! 🙂 I love what we can do now. The scale is about 1/8 - the size I based on measuring my colleagues head and the wingspans of the model and aircraft. The file is a .stl though, so you can scale him up or down a bit in the slicing software that you use if you want to. Cheers, Simon -

Hi folks, thanks for the support. I have thought long and hard about making a batch of pilots to sell but am a bit reticent, as although I have sculpted the body and flying hat etc, the original head sculpt that I used is somebody else's work, downloaded for free. As they were generous enough to share their work I am going to do the same and attach the .stl file for you to print your own free copies. The file is a scan of the original which has the base that I sculpted it on attached to the bottom as a lip. Also it does not quite align with the Z-plane. I killed two birds with one stone and lowered the model in Cura to eliminate the base and give it a flat bottom 🙂. He was printed on the highest resolution with 5% infill and a brim without support. It is a great community on here and I get much enjoyment from reading it on pretty much a daily basis so am more than happy to give a something back.. All I would ask is that you do the same with the file and keep it not for profit if you do pass it on to fellow modelers please. pilot small.stl Looking forwards to seeing clones of 'Piglet' take to the skies. Cheers, Simon -

Hi Folks, Thanks for the positive comments! Got my paints out this weekend. I used Halfords grey primer, and then a mix (not together) of Tamiya, Humbrol and Citadel acrylics for the block colours. I then progressed onto System 3 acrylic artist paints to make up washes to blend it all together nicely. I am totally colour blind so I always need my wife on hand to make sure I have not strayed too far awry 🙂. I think he turned out well, the eyes are always a challenge, not too boss-eyed! The scan and print 3d printdid not do too bad a job on the detail also, though it would have been crisper - and a lot more expensive, if I had made a mold and re-cast it. He will look fine at 150ft in the air.......... Hope you like him, Cheers, Simon -
Looks great, top job - enjoy the maiden!!!
