Antoine Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Finished tonight. Build for a GB on a French forum, with some special rules about time. No more than 24h00, in less than two weeks. It was ok for the time, but I missed the two weeks limit. The build can be seen here. I could have translated as usual, but it take time, and it's usually not worth the interest. I hope you'll like it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rotorheadtx Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Wow! Sweet piece of work! I also love the 'wooden' prop, and think the chipping of the paint is just enough wear & tear. You should be really proud of her, a small work of art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antoine Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks! Very small indeed, as the fuselage is no more than maybe 7cm long. The prop might be overdone for this scale, as the laminated 'slices' of wood looks too big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike DeTorrice Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 These additional shots show the great work on the look of the wooden propeller ! As well, what a highly skilled technique for achieving the look of chipped paint ...... it all adds up to a fine replica here. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
