Epeeman Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Dear all, Posting pictures of the remaining two of Valom's 'Duel in the skies' kits of the Camel and Dr1 Triplane. Great little (tiny!) kits from Valom - built OOB. Regards Dave 29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnl42 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Wow! Very tiny and very well done! And kudos for rigging them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAT69 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I do well to even think in that scale, much less build. And rig? The fingers on one hand slap those on the other for evening thinking about that. Which is to say you've done phenomenal work on those and have much to be proud of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Is that a 5p? Are they rigged? Are you human? 11/10 mate, 11/10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 You have a tame arachnid assistant, that much is obvious. Amazing modelling! Kind regards, Joachim 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim R-T-C Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 A really stunning little pair. They are nice kits but these are amazingly well build - I can never get the rigging so clean and taught. Don't worry, more options are available for the Valom kits now 😁. Vizi models from the Czech Republic are offering the Nieuport kits with 3d printed parts and new decals. https://www.vizimodels.cz/Nieuport-Ni-21-a-23-d30.htm 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mig88 Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Fantastic work on both and amazing job on that rigging. I have both kits in my stash but I don't know if I'll rig them... Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, John - Rigging material used was Oschi 'standard' size elastic thread threaded through pre-drilled holes and pulled tight before gluing in place.

Miguel Thank you, Miguel - These actually good little kits - just take care on the strut aligningment (lots of test fitting needed) to make sure all lines up as should. The PE struts work really well. Rigging in this scale is very fiddly but not impossible - have a go. Cheers Dave Also, thank you everyone who has commented - very much appreciated.

pheonix Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Only just found these - mini-masterpieces especially as they are so well rigged. I take my hat off to anyone who can rig in the braille scale. P 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remus389 Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 I would need a microscope to do this with this level of precision. Job well done, my rating is: 12/10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
