Thanks chaps! I?m really glad to get moving on this again. The wheels were a real roadblock but they are finally out of the way. I was able to get them painted and take some better shots in the daylight today.

Not bad for 1/144!  :D

Unbelievably wonderful modeling and your model photography cannot be beat either.

Thanks Warren! It?s just an old iphone XR and a sheet of styrene (the same one the Taube is made from) for the base. I have a couple of LED lights that I wave around in one hand and hold the iphone in the other.

Not bad for 1/48 I would say.

It?s been a hell of a long slog. Finally got the rigging underway.
Here we are at the end of Day #1:

Absolutely fantastic work on this Stahltaube.
It is a little gem. It's like looking over the shoulder of a goldsmith at work.
Absolutely amazing.
