did you see the link above re: turnbuckles ?

Probably straight in with another protar bike Bob while i am in the zone :-) I have found a really weird Protar DKW grand prix bike that looks interesting, strange wheels and brakes and front forks... ,

I got the chain from Spain by Decalcas , its smaller than the MFH one so fits better and the chain guard now fits. I wasn't going to be complimentary about the chain construction method but it does actually work and it solved the problem i had so while i dont like it, it did the job and thats...

Wow thats my confused brain overloaded. I think 3d is a young mans game :cool:

In conclusion i think if you want a high detailed cutaway model i think the Hasegawa 1/8 Could be the way to go for ease of build but I think you might need to address the turnbuckle issue as i dont think any of them are correct for the Camel. In 1/16 probably the model airways but be prepaired...

whats really anoying is i looked at these before and the reviews were scathing. One said the cast metal parts for the engine etc were so bad as to be unusable but i cant find these reviews now to see which model was so bad. If that is the case then this is big money for some balsa :-)

The eindecker looks a bit easier https://www.scientific-mhd.co.uk/wooden-plane-model-fokker-eindecker-1-16-s029ma1050-10548.html

They are both available in 1/16 Saul but the has does look like plastic wood and its no where near s detailed. Those are huge 1/8 https://www.scientific-mhd.co.uk/marque/model-airways-115/

Thats an "Model airways" model Artesania - do one as well

I love the concept of this but putting all that effort into something that doesn’t fly and is never really finished kills it for me. The wood is obviously laser cut which helps. I remember hours carefully cutting out wing ribs that were just printed on to sheet balsa to build gliders. I used to...

I find it better to decant the paint straight from the bottle to the airbrush and miss the bench part out. :-) that said i do like the effect you are getting on the wings, very tidy.

You can see what i mean by varying the coats you can change the colour depth and of course the undercoat gives you even more shade options. what first struck me with this paint is was how fine the pigment is, on a really smooth surface it goes on like glass. Your colour looks really good , i...

I am a bit tempted with the bren gun carrier but some reviews say its missing some important parts like the instrument panel..

I have been notified that the other 3D chain i ordered from Spain will be here Monday, its been held up because we managed to crash our entire air traffic control system last week :) so all flights were delayed or cancelled for a few days. Interesting to note in the small print of the Times...

These convertible or Cabriolet as we say , Tanks do off a fantastic opportunity to detail inside in larger scales i bet.

Decided to try and make a new one. See how this one sits just under the gearbox instead of across the front of it. i happened to have some 4.2mm styrene rod so that was lucky...... My luck does seemed to have changed after a summer of disasters :rotf

Ahh now the first small problem The exhaust down pipe is not even close to fitting.....

I should have known that... I did build one a while back

I found this picture of him, what is this tank with no drivers hatch ?
