 Lance,
Congratulations my old friend she's a real beauty. This has been one outstanding thread to have followed. As well as an excellent reference thread for anyone building the Pfalz D.XII. Well Done Lance!
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Thanks for the kind words Greg, it was a very enjoyable Build overall, not the perfect results I mentioned, but a lot of pleasant and relaxing hours which is the real object of the exercise! Hope you are keeping well.
Cheers,
Lance

 Lance,
I'm doing well my old friend. Now that I've got the Nieuport completed for the French GB I've turned my attention to finishing my old Camel project. Slow going for certain but moving forward none the less.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

This ended up a very realistic aeroplane and following the build is inspiring and delightful. Thank you for showing and compliments.

Congratulations Lance!  The Pfalz is a true gem and a delight to follow my friend.
You seem to be on a roll...any thoughts of what is next down the pike?

Cheers,
Ernie

Lance - it's been great to follow your progress on this one - I really enjoy your log of ups and downs, and how you managed to craft this kit into your usual work of art. I had to smile this morning when I saw you were done  Looking forward to the completed pics you'll be posting soon.
Cheers,
Gary

    Thanks for taking a look and for your generous remarks, Guys.
    Lukasz and Guiseppe, so nice to know you've followed this Build, your compliments mean a lot!
    Ernie, old compatriot, as always I appreciate your inputs. As to the "next" project I'm presently struggling with 3 choices: a Hobby Craft NI. 17 in Billy Bishop's colours, one of the Wingnuts German Seaplanes, the Hansa Brandenberg W12 or 29 for our new Group Build Diorama challenge, or getting a start on the 4 different Fokker E Series Eindeckers I have sitting in the pile. I have on hand most of the After Market items related to the sea planes but need to go shopping for the other projects. I've been following the several excellent Builds of the Nieuport on the Forum and will probably be increasing my share holdings in Hannants with the Mastercasters sets for it imminently. Lots of "form and fitting" work with those from what I've seen!
   Gary, always good to receive the endorsement of a truly World Class Modeller, after seeing your Builds in the flesh these recent years it's a challenge to not sell my air brush and join the Mrs. in her Quilting Room......... As for the "ups and downs" laughing at yourself is a quality I aspire to for health reasons; as I've said before on most Builds I reach the stage of starring in my own version of "Mr. Bean builds a model airplane" with very little difficulty!
    My Completed photos will be delayed as I'm off to meet the members of our local IPMS Chapter today, something I've meant to do for many (35!?) years since settling here in the Great White North!
Cheers,
Lance

Hi Lance,
That's a lovely model you've created.
I see you used a third hand clamp when rigging the model.  Is that something you've made yourself or is it available at retail outlets?

Well Lance, I haven't been here as often as I should have been but each time I have I have been most impressed with your progress on this very characterful aircraft. 

Having just 'popped in' tonight it's really pleasing to find that you have produced yet another 'stunner' and shown us all what can be achieved with a dedicated approach - congratulations on such a fine result .

Looking forwards to your next build whatever it is 

Regards - Tug

I must echo these comments as they really hit the nail on the head, a superb build Lance and one to be very proud of.

Mike,
    You can see the promo video at:

     You can order one or inquire about it with an EMail to:

[email protected]

    A half dozen or so of our members that I've provided this info to have ordered one in the past several weeks and are unanimously impressed with the gadget. James Knaus from here (Jknaus here on the Forum) ordered one in the past 48 hours and told me he paid just over $100 USD, might seem a little pricey but as I said earlier I found it the greatest aid to model building since the air brush, just love it! Very well built and engineered.
   Best of luck with your inquiries.
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you so much for the very generous comments on my Build, Des, Rick, and Tug. Knowing intimately several of the less then perfect spots on her hide I'm not sure these compliments are completely deserved however it's inspiring to know model builders of your respective talents like the result! I'll try to get cracking on the Completed Models photos.
Cheers,
Lance
