Bonjour a tous,

Thanks very much Fotor, Philippe, Dominique and Michel for your encouraging comments!

Just when I more or less finished the heads I found a very useful "class" on youtube how to model heads in sculpey clay, worth to take a look at!

Hello everyone,

The FG-2 was only equipped with the Wilhelm Morrell anemometer, very well described by Vincent Becancon in his article about the Mira 3.



Here just visible on the right diagonal strut.
I gave my friend ADRI (who already made the rib templates and all the small ply stuff for the ribs) the plans and asked him if he thought 3D printing was an option. He texted me; just wait!
I had a lucky day! After some time the photo's came in!
So ADRI made this anomemeter completely!!
(I only painted it)



































The dial is the download of the Mira 3







I was very pleased with his great effort!!
Now I went on,I only had to make the mounting thing and paint it (Humbrol matt grey)

Hello everyone,

Next is the painting of the heads, difficult to get it more or less right...
From my wife I borrowed acrylics, skin colour and burnt sienna. Nice thing is you can mix it on a plate and you can speed up the drying proces with a simple hair drier, so you can quickly find out if the colour is right.

first coat; left is bare sculpey, right has the base colour.




Next thing is adding shades

bit to much, correcting it again



Looks stil a bit too much, but I'll wait with changing that, till the moment the figures are complete with clothes etc.
Next thing is unknown to me. On this photo there is a very distinct black line which holds the cloth. It looks a bit temporarely, but nice to model it!

It starts at the nose and goes round the cockpit aperture.
I like to make holes with some heat, so I made from a pin a very small heat thing wrapped around my soldering iron to make all the small holes.

It took some time with needle and thread.





How farther I got in the nose, the more difficult it went and the last three stitches were impossible.


I cheated a bit;

wrapped thread round, put thin superglue on it and cut away the half loops

Glued the half loops through the holes



Now the interior is almost finished, I closed the bottom with diacov



to be continued,

Vincent
