Title: Roden Staaken Bashed to an R.IV: Done
Post by: NinetythirdLiberator on August 31, 2012, 09:39:27 AM

Here it is!   ;D

I am actually sorry it's over.  There were no real issues and I think it turned out pretty nicely.  And, I have a very unique...if huge...model.  Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement along the way. 

Now...onto the AEG vacform!

The figures really put what would otherwise be a great build over the top! Really adds to the interest.

Congrats on a great build,

Lindsay

  Dan,
She's one awesome project my old friend. Your conversion work was absolutely stunningly well done. As always your projects show the highest levels of skill and craftsmanship and fantastic details. It was great to get a look at the upper wing gun stations too. Must have been a heck of a cold and windy station to man. From the beginning to end she one heck of a project my old friend ,a Heartly Well Done and Congratulations to you.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Somehow I haven`t noticed the gallery of the finished model before...
A breathtaker I would say. Staakens are so monumental machines and your model surely is too. Thumbs up mate. The crew looks great BTW. I would really like to see what you could make of Ilya Muromets model!!!
