I am imagining a few pops! Thanks! Taking in consideration all those tense wires exposed to the airstream, I think it would have sounded like John Cage's "Concert for 945 out-of-tune violins, and one giant broken timpani". 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite surprised about how big it is when compared to my Bugatti (that's in the paint shop by the way)...unless you have small hands. Stuart Thanks, Stuart! I am so looking forward to your completed Bugatti! you are doing a splendid job! Indeed the Taube was a very large plane for its type and age. Not too dissimilar to a 5 years earlier Antoinette, and the 2 years earlier Monobloc, though: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful work, Moa, sheer poetry! Kind regards, Joachim You are too kind, Joachim. It's all the merit of the original plane, with it's charming shape and gallant demeanor. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubt my build will look anything like yours. May as well chuck mine in the bin now. 🐧 Thanks Penguin! Please, continue with your build, for what we have seen so far you will regale us with a truly beautiful Taube. It just needs time and patience. If I don't see any progress soon, I may have to send a terrifying horde of 1/72nd and 1/48th figures to spank you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have wished for a more modern 1/48 scale version of this aircraft given its importance to the history of aviation but nothing is on the horizon. I do have the Copper State resin in my stash and I think you have inspired be to move it up the line. Thanks Harold. I do not build in 1/48, thus I am not familiar with its releases, but have a look at @FPDPenguin Flashback model here, in that scale: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the bigger scale will give you more room and thus more comfort to play with it. It's nice...once you have finished it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bengalensis Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Breathtaking! It's been looking fabulous all the way as the build thread developed, so I expected something beautiful in the end, but it's looking even better. Seeing it photographed in suitable environment really brings out it's fragile and delicate glory. Fantastic work. Lovely subject. Once again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinChipmunkfan Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Another amazing model Moa. How you got from those few pieces of vacuform to the finished model is a tribute to skill and patience. Seriously impressive modelling. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray S Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hello @Moa, What a wonderful build! Thank you for sharing and showing just how it can be done. The Taube is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed (in my opinion), and you have caught the look and grace so well indeed. All the best, Ray 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColinChipmunkfan Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Alchemy? - "a seemingly magical process of transformation, creation, or combination" looking at those crude bits of vacuform, alchemy sounds dead right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pleasant build, being somewhat different than a "normal" one. This type of build asks a little more from the modeler, but it rewards accordingly.
