Pfalz D.XII "Some assembly required"

[Lyle]

Thank you Gregory for your kind words--I always appreciate your encouragement. 

It came as a reissue with three other cars--a Model T, a Stutz Bearcat and a Rolls Royce! I also have an original issue kit but it's plastic seems so different from today--I'd be afraid to ruin it.

Best, Lyle

Great job on the car Lyle, this will fit in very well with your diorama.

   Lyle,
It's great to have another old car kit fan here my friend. You're right about the plastic from the originals,the stuff is very brittle ,hard to cut and very prone warpage.  I built the Renault Towne  Car awhile back but I used the MiniCraft repop instead of the original issue. Converted it into an Airfield Truck for part of of a diorama.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

I'm looking forward to seeing the diorama.

Thanks all! 
I'm in need of figures that are in various poses of working--I'd like to have a few guys helping to hold the rear fuselage up and also guys kneeling down.  I've never worked with figures before so I'm in new territory here.

Anyway, here is what I am planning on doing with the Pfalz and Mercedes Torpedo. Car is there to haul the fuselage back the short distance to the airfield for assembly.  I'm going to show it's just been offloaded by having some track as part of the base, and only imply a railcar is nearby.

  Lyle,
Sounds like it's a good time to learn a little figure conversions my friend. Your diorama plan sounds excellent and I' looking forward to watching it all come together for you.
Highest Regards,

From what I've seen in the past Lyle, working on figures is a different ball game altogether.

Cheers

Pete.

I'm checking into Scale Link figures since they're pretty economical for my budget.  Since this is my first one, I'm going to be less ambitious and do something with less figures.
You're right Pete, this whole figures world is a completely different kettle of fish. 
Thanks, Lyle

I have the book 'Painting Miniatures' by Danilo Cartacci  what this guy can do is mind blowing.

Cheers

Pete.
