That is an incredible piece of modelling. Everything is so clean and precise but also very imaginative indeed. Looking forward to seeing more.

Thanks for the encouraging comments. The give me lots of energy.
@ Antonio:
The two tone effect is made by a first layer of black Alclad primer with a coat of AK True metal polishing wax. After that I used a small brush and handpainted the pattern with Tamiya X10 Gun metal

Some more progress:

The dragonfly was equipped with modified 08/15 MGs





A Flarepistol



Reworked wings



Next will be the base and the figures.
Bye,
Manni

Simply amazing. That armament adds so much to the overall appearance! I am keen on seeing the model in its diorama setting with figures (but please don't kill the Dragonfly with your electric fly swatter!)

Thank you gentlemen for your kind words.
Yesterday I managed to finish this little insect.
So I hope you will enjoy my new pictures.





















On Monday I will return to ordinary WWI modeling. It was a nice fantasy trip and I think I will build an allied counterpart some day.
Bye,
Manni

Thanks to you all for the encouraging comments.

Last weekend the Libelle was awarded with a silver medal at the KMK Modelshow in Mol/Belgium. Now it recieved it's place in my personal hall of fame.
