Thank you very much Juan, Bo, Des, Edo and Boggie for your kind words and your interest!

Finally I took some pics of the crashed airframe and the first piece of lower wing. It still needs many details and some shading and dull coat prior to some weathering.
It's all Evergreen plastic and lead foil...




Thank you! (I don't like the contrast between plastic and lead foil on this piece of wing here. It's much less visible on the original part but pops out on the foto. I think I'll have to rework that.)

Just catching up on this now, I arrived late in the game here. Stunning work so far - the motorcycle and damaged aircraft are truly works of art. Excellent job!

Borsos! you keep amazing me! this build is getting better and better! the crashed plane looks very realistic.
I like best the broken wood which, in my opinion is very difficult to make seem real, but you did it! and very good, too!
cant really wait to see it all together!

That scratch built airframe is extremely good, as are the engine, prop and wheel. I think that the damaged wing looks convincing enough but then I am not a perfectionist!

Thank you very much for your kind words and your encouragement!

Here is some progress on the wreck:


right upper wing is just loosely laid onto the airframe for the pics




The LVG C II is not only a really important plane but at least in my eyes a really beautyful airplane as well and it's a shame that kit manufacturers seem to have avoided it in any scale. But the airframe isn't too difficult to build from scratch. All the metal parts are made of lead foil, struts are brassrod.
Thank you!

Wow Borsos, outstanding work on the crashed plane.  Really looking forward to seen your progress (all aspects of your builds are great on their own rights, together will be awesome).

That is truly incredible. For a scratch build that really is of the very first order. Really looking forward to seeing this in the diorama with the figures and background - it will be truly worth the wait.
