Telboy1999 Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 That's a genuinely stunning collection of excellent builds, particularly the scratchbuilding which is waaaay out of my league. Very impressive indeed. I could study these pics for hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 Astounding work. Thank you, Sir. I see from your avatar you are also a 'wind in the wire' type.... THATS AN AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING COLLECTION!!! :wow: NO RED BARON TRIPLANE? Thank you, Sir. You have pushed one of my buttons, by the way: Fokker's triplane is the most overrated, over-publicized design of the period, possibly of history. To give you an idea of how bad it is, I have a book titled French Aircraft of WWI, an encyclopaedic collection containing all French aircraft of the war with photographs and drawings, a wonderful volumn. It has an aeroplane embossed on the spine. Care to guess what it is --- a S.P.A.D.,a Nieuport perhaps? No, it is a Fokker triplane.... Beyond that, I appreciate your kind words very much. That's a genuinely stunning collection of excellent builds, particularly the scratchbuilding which is waaaay out of my league. Very impressive indeed. I could study these pics for hours! Thank you very much, Sir. Do not sell yourself short. I will always maintain scratch-building is more a question of nerve than skill, and if you can muster the first, the second will follow. Congratulations and my thanks for posting such an incredible and wonderfully personal collection of early war aircraft. Absolutely amazing stuff....great skill and attention to detail Cheers Bruce Thank you very much, Sir. Glad you liked them. It will certainly be added to in future.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingCornetto Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Incredible, especially all that rigging! The time you must have put into scratch building is inspirational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
