  1. Hi 11bravo, thanks for asking - sadly, there is no update on this build at all so far My time for modelling was reduced to the very ground as we had a baby comming, so i had to work on preparing the house for him Now he is 13months old and i m trying to spend as much time with him and help my wife as much as i can, so still not much time for modelling.. But hopefuly this changes soon
  2. Thanks John, happy new year to you as well Sadly, this build is over 3years old already. I have been very busy in last two years and didnt have much time for modeling. And almost no time at all to post on forums Well, there wasnt much to post though.. i have finished like 4-5 models over the last 2 years only, most of them were built in big time pressure I hope it gets better and i ll have again more time, but it wont happen for half year at least i think.. We got a little baby (he ll be 1 year old in the beginning of february), so thats where all my time is gone..

  9. Awesome Stix, love the paint work and weathering, once again you made me to look in ave on your model amazing work Just going to read the WIP, the weathered paintwork looks superb , cheers
  10. wow nice quick build Steve looks great cheers
  11. Thanks a lot guys for your amazing comments, i know there are many issues you could find on the model, but i m happy you like it To Tony - damn, i saw this photo (i tried to recreate the "scratched" or removed paint using this photo), but i never noticed the MG padding cut out... little excuse could be, i saw more zoomed out version of the photo but still.. damn.. thanks for the info - i cant change it on the model as it is already away, but i can remember it for next build of this one..
  12. Hey guys, i m so sorry but the busy situation in my life did not allow me to make full WIP thread.. and also sadly i could not finish the base.. But the DR.1 is now finished More shots in RFI section Have a nice day
  13. Hello guys, here is my latest finished kit - Eduard´s nice Fokker Dr.I 1/48. The kit was built as a birthday gift As usualy there was at least a bit of scratchbuilding, even though most of it is not visible on the finished kit - removed internal structure on the cockpit sides, made new one from evergreen stripss - added details to the cockpit floor - completely reworked bulk behind the seat - the seat holders were left from the original part, rest is home made from evergreen strips and tabs - created new fuel tank to the front section - thinned the front fuselage top part - added padding around the cockpit from lead wire and rubber band from cable - added details to the machine guns - added details and wires to the engine Sadly one of the machine guns got broken before the photos were taken and carpet monster swallowed the tail struts and there was no time to make new one.. And finished model here I m not happy with the propeller both back and front side were made by same process, but on the front side, the differences between dark and light wood almost disapeared Well, thats it for now thanks a lot for looking and have a great day guys
  14. awesome result, very nice and convincing olive drab weathering and overal great work
  15. i have expected something like that - as you say, easy to explain, hard to master (i was hoping you had some easier way ) .. but you have mastered it pretty well cheers
  16. very nice work, i love the dark spots and dots (for example on the brown on the nose) - how did you do these?
  17. wow beautiful work as always or well, it gets better and better (if it is even possible.. )
  18. thanks and no worry, take your time, someone builds faster, someone builds slower, just keep it fun for you and it ll be all great so have fun with your Bf too!
  19. Thanks guys, you are all realy way too kind to Bruce - i realy recommend the washable white paint, it is great stuff. And the best is you can combine it with hairspray method too, build up layers and so on (i m sorry for the late response, i was too busy with some home project )
  20. Thanks guys for all your very kind comments Hope i ll be able to finish another build soon Cheers
  21. beautiful work Stix ! I ll probably talk to you later - i want to make some simple base, so i ll steal some tricks from you, muhaha!
  22. Hey guys, after pretty long time i m creating new WIP.. well, lets see if i ll have time for the updates I m going to build this Dr.I as a birthday gift for my Brother-in-law. He wanted it to be one of the full-red Richthofen´s machines, possibly with some base. Sooo lets give it a try So far i have started to work on the cockpit - added some details here and there (new construction on the cockpit "sidewalls", reinforced area on the cockpit floor and more) , made all new seat bulk, thinned the metal plate which ll be covering the nose later, created new padding there.. More to be done yet I have also made some fuel tank, added details on the ammo boxes, finished the engine, thinned the engine cover - all of these parts needs to be taken on photos yet Sooo, update later
