Very nice, Xan. That one will be another jewel. How is the prop carving going on?
Best regards

I'm also interested but I'm sure Xan will manage it!

Hi friends!

It has been a long wile since I post last message ...
The reason has been quite simple: 30 after the mast picture posted on 6 of november there was another one i didn't post here:



so i put all in a box, and did another mount (the ni-17) and wait for better times...

The kit was surely cursed and i manage to drop the boox again!!!



In Basque Country, tenacity is a main value ;-)
So i started again; it was no more kit building but restauration!



Rebuiding steps can be seen here:
http://1914.forumactif.com/t115p125-aviatik-b-ii-copper-state-models-1-48
Anyway here we are now:





Show must go on!

next step will be now to give this model a real wooden propeler. First time for me!

Truly magnificent work, Xan!  I'm so glad you didn't give up on this beauty.  She's going to be a true masterpiece.
Cheers,

Xan, what a pity, two accidents are too much!!!
By the way you are (as usual) making a great job in recovering the model, and if possible it looks even better than before the accidents!

Perhaps I won't try again at once...

Thanks all friends for your nice comments!

I could at last stat the last step, make a wooden prop.
I usually do french palnes wich propelers were painted with tonkylaque, this german plane give me the ocasion to try it. All the wooden prop I saw were done at 1/32 and I wanted to see if it was possible at 1/48...

so let's go:



The propeler is a Reschke



après importation de cet image sur le logiciel de dessin vectoriel silhouette studio ou un autre peu importe, on obtient cela:I importes theis picture and did the drawing i a vectorial drawing software (silhouette studio in this case)



Then i put at the right scale


I buy marquetry wood (0.5mm wood sheet)


Then i used the plotter (cameo silhouette)


have to be carefull taking the prop parts off


all is ready



glue with white glue


then started:



first try was not so good, but i saw it works...


second try was better:


here is the prop logo





Borsos indicate me Lf models did it at 1/48;  thank you Andreas!


Then i pass a raw sienna oil paint layer varnish and here is the result


Not that bad!



Xan

Xan,
   Beautiful prop, hard to believe it's your first try! Your recovery from the second incident/accident is most impressive, as RAG III has said it looks even better then before the "crash". Great modelling and my compliments for a great recovery. 8) 8) 8)
Cheers,
Lance

Fantastic work and admired your restoration when I (like most, I suspect) would have lost heart. Nice work on scratchbuilsing the prop, also.

Cheers
