Title: Eduards Roland C.II
Post by: Alexis on July 12, 2020, 12:54:25 AM

This shelf queen is now finished !  I had a few lines break while getting the rest of her done but other then that it was an enjoyable build and not worry about the details . I did forget to drill the hole in the top wing for the flight controls and now I can't get in there to drill the holes  :-X . Must say that this was easiest wing strut fit of all the ones built so far !

That's  beautiful work Terri!  A really nice Roland, with perfect colors.  You've been very productive at the bench recently. ;) ;D

Best regards,

Bob

I have seen many schemes on Rolands but not this one. You certainly have made a good job of this one - I for one would not have noticed the missing control wire!

Very nice Roland Terri. You were successful in adding variations to the basic light tone that add a great deal of realism. Not my favorite aircraft of the period but you sure made a most pleasing model out of it.

Excellent work, Ma'am. The finish is great.

Schemes of this sort always make me wonder two things. First, how much time did the ground crew have on their hands? And second, were the aircrew that convinced of their own immortality? Hours and hours of labor lavished on something that not only could go smash any moment, but probably would....

Terri, a lovely whale!
You selected the perfect grey out of the fifty shades of gray, but the picture from a more deeper point showing the checker board underside are even more beautiful.

Cheers,
Frank

Terri, what a fantastic job you've done!  I certainly didn't notice a missing wire.  I did notice the prop, though!  Nice job!

Terri,
    A fitting end to her shelf queen status, you've done a great job! I really like the scheme, it's a new one to me and very eye catching.
Cheers,
Lance

Hi guys and thank-you very kindly for the positive comments ! I will admit that it is not my favorite either , but it does grow on you to the point that you feel sorry for the designers and ask why . :o :o :o . It is a cool scheme and there is a photo in the windsock data file on the cover page with a few other photo's . I was wondering as well on some of WW 1 paint schemes and the time it would take to paint and what would be the point of camo then .

Once again thank you all  8) 8) 8)

Another nice one, Terri.  Love the checker boards.  Rolands are so elegant.  I'm glad you got this one finished.  Super nice!

Truly spectacular, T!  You may have inspired me to reanimate some of my shelf of doom projects.
