Seeing as I am one of the "new kids" on the site here, thought I would post a smattering of my old builds. No reason really, just seems that a few others are doing the same so why not join in :)
My first WW1 model - Hi-Tech Roland D.II, which was later resurrected after a series of breakages.
Before:

After:

My second - Eduard Sopwith Camel (also before I could take half decent photos...!)

Ok, so I'm not going to list every model I have built in order of build ... :P So I will just throw in a smattering...

Thanks for looking!

Brad,
Awesome flight line my old friend. Wasn't the Roland D.II part of a build thread over at the old Drome some time in the dim past? Always like the Roland D.II for some reason unknown even to me . I built up the Sierra Scale version sometime ago and I've got to say mine doesn't hold a candle to yours. Glad to see these all again and thank you for sharing them .
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

I've watched a number of these come together on the 'drome ,Brad, and was, and still am, totally blown away by your skills. I know that I recently said that the DH9 might be your best yet, but I had almost forgtten how impressive that Albatros C.X is. Might be a tie. Could you do us all a favor and post links to some of the build threads? I learned quit a bit from many of those threads, especially the Snipe, and I'm sure many of the newer WWI modelers on this site would appreciate the tutorials.
Once again, truly brilliant stuff.
Cheers,
Bud

Beautiful work!!!

What catches my eye immediately is the subtle, subdued look about all of them. They're all beauties!
Cheers,

Hi Brad
I never tire of looking at your inspirational builds. Just jaw-droppingly outstanding.
Thanks for sharing them here as I know they will be a big motivator for the rest of us.
cheers

Amazing hanger you've got there Brad!! I agree with Chris on the subtle, subdued look of the beasties - very inspirational ;)
More! I say, More!
Andrew

An amazing line up Brad, I must agree I love your subtle paint approach.
Cheers
Pete.

Every ones a winner. Great to see them all.

Brad,
I've seen a few of these elsewhere over the past several years; they are truly magnificent builds. What scale/manufacturer is the Snipe? I seem to recall 1:72 in which case I suspect you may indeed be possessed! (and YES! some tutorial submissions would be very well received)
Thanks so much for posting these beauties.
Cheers,
Lance

Eyecandy! :)

All beautiful work, Brad -
I've seen some of your work on the net so good to see you as a member on these forums.
Best regards

Thanks for the nice words folks! As requested, some of the build logs.
For the Albatros CX (build log was over on the old 'Drome site):
http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/models/45915-wip-jager-1-48-albatros-c-x.html
The Snipe (which is 1:48 scale - no way could I rig it in 1:72!)
http://www.theaerodrome.com/forum/models/38189-1-48-blue-max-sopwith-7-f-1-snipe.html
I have build logs for all of these stashed away somewhere so let me know if there are any others you want me to dig up.
Thanks again!

Thanks for the links Brad, inspiring stuff!!

Very, very cool to see you over here now Brad! I've always loved your work and I'll look forward to seeing more of it!

Oh man...an absolutely gorgeus collection. I won`t be able to sleep tonight. What is the name of this monoplane it looks like Fokker but I have never seen it? You`re my idol!
-
Filip,
I'd hazard a guess she's a Fokker V23 Developmental prototype. The wings are much the same construction as the later V26 which became the Fokker EV and later the D.VIII. Fokker had some very forward thinking Prototype indeed.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Gorgeous collection Brad!
I plan on building an Albatros D.Va in Walter Boening's colours (in 1:72) and have the Printscale Bavarian decals to help....do you have any tips on making these fit the curves of the rear fuselage? The decal sheet shows the wing surfaces in lozenge, not lilac/green - is your aircraft a similar but different one?
Ian
-
Hi Xmald - Gregory is right, it's a Fokker V23. The fuselage was made from a modified spare Eduard Fokker D.VII fuselage and Roden engine bay, and the wings were (I think) from a resin Omega(?) kit of the same aircraft.
Ian - having hand-painted the diamonds on my D.V (and admittedly, the pattern I went with is not quite right), I don't really have any tips on the application of those decals. Good luck with them, they will no doubt be a challenge :) The aircraft in question had green and lilac wings. There are pictures of this aircraft in one of the Osprey Albatros Aces book (can't remember which volume as I am on the road at the moment and don't have them with me) and it clearly shows the aircraft with painted wings, not lozenge. I think the misconception on this aircraft having lozenge wings comes from some incorrect profiles released by one artist a little while back. Make sure you post pics here on the site, she sure will look nice in 1:72!
Thanks!

Hi, Brad,
Man, I can be really late on occasion! Glad to see you here, and belated congratulations on some excellent builds. Regardless of what your profile says, you are anything but a Newbie" to this hobby! ;D

Missed this before -- phenomenal collection, and some really interesting subjects too.

All work on an excellent level, congratulations.
