Amazing, Ondra -

Outstanding scratch built Nieuport model but just unbelievable workmanship in such tiny scale.

Ondra,
   Truly talented Builds, I can't believe the detail and quality for such tiny subjects. When we see them all at once their remarkable quality stands out, what's next on the production line?
Cheers,

Jak, Dave and Lance, many thanks for looking in and leaving such nice comments!

@Lance: currently I am working on an Albatros D.Va, build thread here:

http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=5436.0

Not much done so far, the construction is much more demanding in terms of scratchbuilding (especially in terms of fitting the interior into the not-yet-existing fuselage) than previous builds.

But the slow and steady wins the race, they say. :)

Cheers

 Ondra,
I'm truly impressed my friend. Awesome work on such a tiny subject! One question though how do you see what you're building. I'd  need an Electron Microscope.

Highest Regards,

I agree! I'm having trouble seeing the detail on my 1/32 kits. James (jknaus) recently did acquire a microscope to aid his builds! :o
I know I would need one to do what you are doing, Ondra!

I am really glad you like the result and many thanks to Gregory, George and Pietro for their encouraging comments.

I tried to work with magnifying glass and optivisors (or whatever it is called) several times, but unfortunately I am not able to use them - I lose the sense for depth. But I keep on training. Anyway, so far I have to get along with bare eyes.

Cheers

Thanks a lot for your comments.

And a big sorry for the wrong spelling, thanks for the hint, Ermeio! I corrected it at least in the thread name.

Congratulations Ondra on completing this incredible model, you have done a superb job with all the details on the model and to do it in 1:144 scale is beyond belief, the sign of a true artist, well done.

Des.

I share exactly the same opinion! It's amazing !
