Wow...you did had a go in this one!

It's quite impressive from you. The lozenge it's mazing. I love that faded effect!

It's an honour to see such a nice build taking place.

Cheers

The wheels came today  ;D

These are beyond belief! They look even better in the flesh.. Just incredible works of art.. Just wow.






I simply cannot wait to strap one of these onto a model  :o

If you're hesitating over whether to get a set - Don't.

Incidentally, no customs charges with this. I got my 2 Modelkasten figures from Aus the day before.. £15 tax & handling fee! That's pretty much doubled the cost of the figures.. Daylight robbery..

Good grief, Guy!  The wheels are super!  They will make your Fokker
even better than the wonderful job you have already done.
Looking forward to seeing the new footwear on your model.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

The wheel's looking great on  8)

I'll post finished pictures in a day or two. I just thought I'd mention I'm reading a cracking book at the moment called 'Black Fokker Leader' about Carl Degelow from Jasta 7/40.. A really excellent account where he corresponded later in his life with the author.

I may have to build a black Fokker now.. I like knowing the historical background to a model - makes it seem more real somehow.

Worth a read anyway..

Evening all,

Calling this one done now..

The most enjoyable kit I've ever made.. Great kit, enjoyable experimenting with lozenge, topped off by Steven's incredible wheel  ;) I almost didn't want this one to finish.

As you can see, I've been playing around with the photos a little.. I realise this may not be to everyone's taste, but I kinda like 'em (I've still got the originals..) Be interested to hear what people think..

Onwards and upwards - The Albatros is looming with all that lovely wood..  :)












A complete set of photos in the completed models section...


Thanks to everyone who chipped in - much appreciated..  ;)

Guy

She looks great!! I like the tones of the third picture just not the TV screen border - which is a minor thing.

Wow! About as good as it gets. Very nice build, and old-timey photos as well.
