After Introduction Models
« on: June 15, 2013, 02:18:57 AM »
So after introduction i guess that a few models are the right thing to do.

My focus are the ww1 scouts (single seaters).

My first:

Fokker D. VIIF Oblt Karl Bolle, Jasta Bolcke (roden + part PE)











Fokker E.III Ltn Gotthard Sachsenberg, Nr I Marine Feldflieger Abteilung (Eduard Profipack)











Nieuport 11 Lt Jean Navarre, Escadrille N67 (Toko... a nightmare... the wings were 4 mm short, among others!! All issues solved though + part PE)










Halberstadt D.II (Pegasus)










Nieuport 10 N328 Lt Georges Guynemer, Ecadrille N3 (HR Model)











Bristol Scout C Captain Lanoe Hawker, No.6 Squadron (Omega Models)










And that's all for now. I hope you guys like it just a bit (1/72 of that bit), if so then im a happy man.

Coming out is the Morane Saulnier Parasol L.

Thx for looking.

Thank you for sharing your collection of models, and what a lovely collection they are. You certainly have the ability to build in 1:72 scale and it shows so well in your marvelous models, your finish and rigging is superb and to add icing to the cake you paint figures as well, well done. I am looking forward to seeing your latest build, the Morane.

Zabu,
  Like many others who work in "Braille Scale" you produce astounding detail and great results. The EIII is magnificent, great weathering and wear and a real beauty. I also really like your Ni. 10.
  Very nice work, and a great introduction!
Cheers,
Lance

I too work in God's Own Scale and fully appreciate what you have done. These models are truly superb - wonderfully built and extremely well painted and rigged. If you had not told us the scale they could easily have been taken for something much larger. Congratulations on excellent modelling.

Thanks for your nice words guys.

The figures are just to go with my "little (115 x 60cm)" airfield.

I got my hands in some balsa plywood, some tracing paper and glue to make a proper scale Bassonneau Hangar and some figures.

The Hangar went like this:









And my home airfield:









I'll sure share some photos of Morane... i'm just finishing the prop... being Garros Parasol L.

Cheers guys.

I'll bet building that hanger was lots of fun. Makes me want to try my hand at one too.

Cheers,
