Well, I was so inspired by Des' Bleriot that I decided to do a build and diorama last night. I think the water came out especially well and looks very realistic:

So, as far as "seeing my Bleriot and raising it", I'm afraid that's up to the salvage crew.

(Sorry for the interruption.....couldn't resist.)

As a fellow Artist who spends to much time "out the box"I see your humour.I think the B leriot may be the "Trump" card!

"Out of the box" it is!

But surely there's another Bleriot build out there?

Who's going to step up and match Des?

Well I will drop the ante down again with my scratch build Bleriot XI in God's Own Scale…… It is a Bleriot XI, honest. (Just that it is a Penguin trainer - more details in the build log in scratch builds, and completed models section on this site if you are interested).

In return I offer a revamped version of the Airfix Albatros DV, again in God's Own Scale. (Build thread in Under Construction on this site)

Well, she's been here before, McCudden's B4891, before I learned how to "shade" from Bud!

.....and here's a Noop 28, should be easy to match!

Cheers,
Lance

Great stuff, Lance!

PS Bud's the one to learn from...he's as "shady" a character as they come.

Those recent additions are really great. I especially like Rick's Albatros. Who's personal markings are they?

For my part, thanks Stephen. The Albatros DVa is attributed to Jasta 6, Pilot Unknown

Nice Patrick, here's my Tripe to match.......

I'm running out of subjects, who's next to help?
Cheers,

I'll match you with a paper 1/250 Fokker D.VII

And raise with paper 1/50 Nieuport 11

George, can you show us what these look like before they are assembled? Specifically, how much "painting" is done to them as the come?

Michael,

Here is the Nieuport 11. I didn't design the model, but i repainted it extensively in Photoshop. I adjusted the color, added shading and light weathering, and changed the markings to the rose. Since this isn't my original design, it shouldn't be printed. The original can be found at http://www.ecardmodels.com/index.php/aircraft/military.html?cat=5 where they have about 560 WW1 model airplanes to buy and download, as well as thousands of other paper models! They are very inexpensive - most under $10.

Fascinating stuff, George. I love the idea of "repainting in Photoshop". The possibility for making accurate and/or personalized models has never been greater.
