Merged: Old Shapeways-related announcements
« on: April 17, 2015, 09:37:29 PM »
As many of you already know, I have a few detail and accessory parts for WWI model planes available to have printed and sent directly to you via Shapeways, with more on the way.

Here is the link:

Thanks for stopping by!

Congratulations on the venture Bo and, as soon as I get round to doing some more German types I'll definitely be ordering.

Best wishes

Yes sure, I plan on doing Mercedes parts in 1:48, Scott is sending me an Eduard engine for sizing purposes. I guess the Karaya engine is really nice but is based on the Roden block and does not bit fit Eduard kits (?)

What else do you need/want in 1:48?

edit: fixed typo

Good ideas Martin.

To do the Albatros fuel tank I need more information:

Which D type? D.I - D.III are basically similar, D.V/D.Va different.

I would also at minimum need the basic outside dimensions of the kit part you want to replace, because a true-scale part will likely not fit. Best would be to put the kit part on a flatbed scanner and scan it at 600dpi -- this will make an excellent dimension reference.

Regarding the electrical equipment: what types of electrical equipment do you mean?

Bo,
all Eduard Alb D models have no fuel tank.
Transmitter ( Telefunken Type C wireless) for C-types, Brandenburg two seater and so on.
FK Stab and 25cm hand held camera.

Ah. Then how about squishing a piece of modeling clay or putty or some such in the space where the tank goes, and measuring that?

Not sure I understand the question, Martin. I have dimensions of the 1:1 tank for the DV, at least, and drawings in several scales. I can make the part true to scale but I doubt it will fit inside the eduard fuselage with its 1.0+ mm walls.

Borrowing a photo from Drew:

I have seen the build from Drew, Bo.
But there is some wrong with the Eduard engine rooms.
There must some change to go more right.
Sorry for my english.
So I need the drawings in 1:48 scale to make a fuel tank.
