More pre 1914 models

Even though these models have been displayed elsewhere in this forum, I think it is appropriate that they have a place here in the pre 1914 board. As you know, all these models are scratch built in 1:32 scale and represent aeroplanes that are not available as kits in 1:32 scale. I believe that this era of aviation history is being sadly neglected by the kit manufacturers. A full build log of each of these models can be found on my main website

What a wonderful collection Des, though I have to admit that my favourite is the Spinne - it almost looks like something you might see in one of da Vinci's sketchbooks!
Best wishes

When viewed all together like this, they take my breath away. What a phenomenal feat, the building of all of these museum pieces in such a short period of time. I agree with Nigel, Des. I think the Spinne might be my favorite, as well.
Cheers,
Bud

At the same time "inspirational", and yet serves to show how far short of the bar one is falling.
Brilliant Des' - just brilliant.

Truly outstanding builds Des. Museum standard all without a doubt. The Bataille triplane will be another outstanding build too and I look forward to seeing that here too.

As weird as that may sound, I'm in total agreement.

All fantastic work, Des.
You certainly realise how aviation has advanced when you look at these early, frail machines.

Hi Des
WoW, what an amazing collection of awe inspiring planes. I would love to build something like this. Such a shame that they are not available as kits.
Thanks for sharing theses works of art!

The Spinne gets my vote too. Not to put any pressure on you, but just think what you'll be able to do now with two good eyes. No pressure at all . . .
Cheers,
Chris
