Post by: ondra on March 11, 2018, 11:57:19 PM

Hello everybody,

I call my little Fokker done now. :)

Many thanks to all of you for your support and advices during the build, it was a major help and I appreciate it a lot.

This is what she looks like next to my other builds. #18 finished now, see you in the Camel build thread. ;)

Ondra, your efforts are truly rewarded by your finished mini-masterpiece (literally and figuratively).  I still think you have a giant hand and that plane is not 1/144  ;D.

That is a model to be truly proud of. Looking at your collection you really are the master in Lilliput. By comparison I live and work in Brobdignag!

Ondra,
As always I followed your build with great interest and a certain amount of Awe! Your painting and detailing is absolutely stunning, in any scale!

Ondra, your trick to build in this small scale saves a lot of space for sure!
This is already a impressive collection and this new little Fokker fits very well. Really again a master piece, and I'm impressed also very much, how fast you have integrated new technologies like soldering into your build.
Well done in all aspects :)

Cheers,
Frank

Ondra,
    I've been a big fan of your work since joining the Forum, and this is yet another very impressive piece of modelling. The photo of your collection is very impressive. You are a true master of the Scale Modelling Art, Sir, and bring so much to our group and to the Hobby. I look forward to your next effort, a Camel you say, can't get much better then that!
Cheers,
Lance

I got Rumpler in 144 but have to follow your approach to this scale as it scares me...
Love those tiny masterpieces  ;D

WoW :) You finally made it and it is absolutely fantastic! Great job, it looks way bigger untill you see it sitting on your hand :) I was following the build during the whole time and learned a lot of thing.
Congratulations for having so much dedication combined with skills to achieve such a great result at the end!

Best regards,

Just awesome.  If you didn't have any notion of the scale, you wouldn't believe it was that small.

Absolutely magnificent, Ondra! This is the first build of yours I’ve been privileged enough to follow, and I was spellbound the entire time. Can’t wait to see how the Camel comes along!

 Ondra,
Congratulations my old friend she another fine example of your AWESOME talent. One thing I still can't figure out is how you do it in such a small scale. Must use a microscope.

Many thanks to all of you for your positive feedback and nice comments, they are highly appreciated!

A few days ago I visited my friend and took the opportunity to make a few photos of the Eindecker next to my first WWI scratchbuild - another Fokker Eindecker I built 20 years ago from paper. When his daughter was born 2 years ago, I gave it to him as a present for her and now it hangs above her crib. It was strange to see the both models next to each other - 20 years from each other.
