Title: A few of mine
Post by: RAGIII on April 20, 2012, 01:31:47 AM
My appolgoies to those of you who have seen these all before! Saw a few new names so figured I would put them out for inspection.

PS: looks like I will have to post 1 pic at a time due to size of files.

Great to see your builds again Rick, you call them mediocre, I'd call them brilliant, any way keep 'em coming.

Cheers

Pete.

Rick,

All lovely work - particularly like the Albie's - the DVa markings are very different and make a change to see; the DI wood grain is excellent.   That DI kit was my first build of a 32nd scale Roden (and one of my early WW1 bird attempts) so has not come out anywhere as good as your example.

Those are all top drawer Rick. Thanks for getting them out so we could have a look at those beauties.

All great, but the Red Baron's D.III really is a beauty, I love the fuselage and the subtle way it has been painted, shows the lines to perfection.

Regards :)

Great job on the Dr.I streaking Rick. All of your models are top drawer, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the same in the near future.

Cheers,

Thanks Andrew and Chris, as always I appreciate the comments ;D chris, the streaking is my old tried and true artists oils method. Still working on using xtra color gloss enamels on my latest. Really think it has potential!

Truly brilliant, each and every one, Rick.  Although I've seen these all elsewhere, they are still a treat to look at.  Mediocre my @r$e!

Compared to many my efforts are mediocre. That being said I do appreciate the positive feedback ;D

Thank you! This is also one of my favorite photos of the jasta 4 polka Dot! There are a couple others I like as much. This is one of my favorite builds to date, Imagine, getting good results from a WNW kit ::)
