This is a little project from the past few evenings. With no kit to start, I was needing to build something. A picture from a WNW EIII in the shop inspired me. Revell's instructions have the decal plans in 1/72. Some stretched sprue and plastic card with a Rosen seat are all I've used so far. I still have a little ways to go. I plan on a simple diorama if the cats don't find it before I'm done.
Pics from my phone,so I apologize, but I was anxious to show somebody!
-
A Roden seat! Darn phone keyboard. Anyway, a couple more pics.
-
Wow, Stan! That is truly phenomenal, Rosen seat and all. Are you going to leave it unskinned? That frame work is too sweet to cover.
Cheers,
Bud

Very impressive Stan!!

Yes, she will remain nekkid :). My inspiration is from the picture in the Wingnut booklet.

The Eindecker is amazing, Stan, especially in the teeny scale. You
have my admiration for your stunning work. I look forward to your
updates.
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Incredible work.

A couple of hours of work after dinner and I. have an engine built up. Made of wire wrapped around brass tube on a styrene hub. Hard to see are the ignition wires behind the push rods. A little large to mount on the plane,it will be a background detail for the vignette. The engine is 15mm in diameter.
-
Very impressive indeed, especially done so quickly!

Thank you gentleman. Tomorrow I paint then attach the tail feathers. I am not doing the wings. I plan on. a work table and maybe some other little things.I can't do the control cables in the frame. I'm going blind as it is!
-
If only you could post some better pics mate so we could fully enjoy your build!
Magnificent!
-
More progress.
-
The frame has developed a slight twist. ;) Too late now. I'm going with the theory that's why she's in the shop now.
-
Absolutely brilliant work, and being 1:72 scale makes it even more remarkable, well done.

As one who also works in God's Own Scale I have only one comment to make. WOW!!!!!
I am extremely impressed, the more so as this is almost completely scratch built. This is going to be a truly impressive model when it is finished - and I look forward to seeing it completed.
-
Super work Stan. What you have achieved so far is remarkable. There should be a law against this sort of thing in 1/72scale!
Best wishes

She just keeps getting better and better, Stan! I don't see any twist, by the way. Maybe that's why I don't build 1/72 scale. :-[
Cheers,
Bud

The workshop is looking really good Stan, this is going to be a great dio once completed.
