Hello Filip:

This is turning out really nice.  Not overly done with the weathering, the swirls are outstanding as is the rigging.  I really like the color of the airplane, looks like fabric.  Looking forward to seeing you complete it.

Really pleasing looking little aeroplane, Filip. As Mark mentioned,
the colour is right on.  Great job!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I humbly thank you for your comments gentlemen! I`ve carved the Germania propeller and I`m wondering whether it`s not too dark. I`ve scrutinised photos of these props and they look pretty dark - sometimes even black... What do you think is it ok or should I carve another one?


One of the screws went off, but it`s fixed already

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND LOTS OF BEAUTIFUL MODELS UNDER YOUR CHRISTMAS TREES AND IN YOUR STOCKINGS ;)
Best regards
Filip

Merry Christmas Filip!

The prop is beautiful if it is.  If you change it or make another that is a matter for your personal taste but I would be very proud of this one!

I agree with Ian, Filip.  To me, the propeller looks "used", which would be
perfect for your eindecker.  Happy Christmas to you as well!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Filip,
   Your prop is magnificent. Having carved a few myself I must say the shape and profile of this one (is it a Garuda?) would be a real challenge, and yours is flawless. Beautifully done!
Cheers,
Lance

Hello Filip:

I think the prop looks pretty darn nice!  As someone mentioned, if you want to do another to see how you like it, go for it, but from where I sit at the computer, it looks quite good.

Best

From someone who has never carved one, I think you have done an excellent job on something that I am way too afraid to try ;D ;D
It looks great to me!!
