So far all the weathering that you see has been done using just black pastels.Nothing could be simplier! Add a little burnt sienna and you would have a nice junk yard version.
This engine will be quite visible when installed in the diorama,as the Camel/Ford van piece will be very near the glass wall of the case.There will be no prop on the engine as it would be too large for transport.I still yet have not decided whether the Camel's wings will be tied up against the fuselage or somewhere on the van.The camel will be left in its structural no fabric state,so I will make this decision when the aircraft is finished depending upon viewing angles etc... I received my EAA Vintage Airplane mag yesterday and there is a nice article complete with many old pics of the Thomas-Morse airplanes and the factory facilities during the WW1 period.

Model expo has the Bleriot XI
Model Expo - Historic Wooden Ship Kits, Airplanes, Hobby Tools, Shipmodeling Books And More
"Amati’s kit builds into an incredibly detailed scale replica of the original aircraft. Laser cut wooden parts form the fuselage and wings. Expertly cast white metal engine pieces, copper and brass tubing, brass, screws, nails, wires and wheel spokes plus photo-etched brass decorative parts assure life-life accuracy. Pre-shaped wooden propeller and fabric covering for the wings are also included. Clearly drawn plans and an instruction manual with hundreds of color photos explain every step of assembly." Fuselage Length 31-1/2” / Wingspan 33” / Scale 1:10 Display model only, not suitable for motor or r/c operation. Intermediate Level • Amati Kit No. AM1712 |

The 1st will be a glove to lay over the fence near the airshow car and the 2nd will be a horse watering tub ,an exercise in rusty weathering.Should be lots of fun and a nice tool for doing old junked engines and such! Yes there were still lots of horses around in the mid 20s.
