  1. The Prop Bosses arrived from Shapeways. All i can say is... WOW!! No print lines at all. Very fine detailed crisp detail. Exactly how i modelled it. I'll prime it and take some more pics later on...
  2. Thank you for sharing these amazing photo's with us! This looks great...
  3. Wow... nice work. AGAIN! Can't wait to see some paint on her. It is a 'her' isn't she? Loving this...
  4. ooooohhh Nice! Looks great to me. Especially after some washes and more grime. Keep going with this. I like it!!
  5. No problem dr-gn! It's all a bit new to me too, so I'm happy with any info and help. Just uploaded the 3d file to Shapeways and checked the dimensions. I made three bosses in a row, and put them on a little stem so they're easy to saw off. The material I chose is Ultra Detail frosted plastic. I've seen this stuff at a show recently and loved the detail. As said: If the detail is not sharp enough, I'll the the jewelry link you posted. I expect the samples by january 15th. Keep u posted. Cheers, Jeroen
  6. Hi Steve, Thnx! Sure! The 3d drawing is quite basic, since this piece is quite basic. The 3D printer printed with very thin layers of molten plastic. It builds up from the bottom. The more expensive the printer, the finer the detail and thinner the layers. So the printing starts on a platform. And the thicker or higher the part is, the higher the print head moves.. The size of the object is limited by how wide and how high the print-head can get. Hope to have a first sample soon! Cheers, Jeroen
  7. Large Scale Bday guys! Have a good one!
  8. Wow! Thnx dr-gn! I might try that place, but first I'll try Shapeways. I've had some of their stuff in my hands, and was amazed by the detail. Yes I could use real nuts and bolts, but I'd like to print several bosses. Axial, Heine, Garuda and add them to my stash, spares box and maybe send some to anyone who needs them Thnx again! Cheers, Jeroen
  9. Thnx Martin, Will do. Here's the finished boss. Need to check some more ref's. Not sure whether the smallest revolver cilinder was flush with the bigger one or not.
  10. Hi Guys, While trying to finish my DVII build, I'm also gathering intel and AM for this build. I ordered a wooden prop from Doug Craner, but will make the Garuda prop boss myself. I'm making the boss in 3D and will have it 3D printed. Here's what it should turn out like: Notice the securing wire going to the top right bolt? Here's where I'm at. Getting there. I'm making the back plate a little bit thicker. This will make the 3d model a bit sturdier, but i will sand it down thinner when it arrives
  11. Really Nice! The green looks good to me. You're showing the the old Hasegawa kit can still be turned into a great model!
  12. THANK YOU! This is some amazing stuff... The preparations, the happy faces... and the very weathered look of the planes. Great stuff. Thnx Matt!
  13. Hi Kevin, That looks like a sweet title. I might get one, since I'm in the middel of this: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/1225-wnw-fokker-dvii-fok/page-6 Cheers, Jeroen
  14. Oh wow... I'm working on a MkIX on and off and have the Maketar paint masks. If the result will be half as good I'll be as happy as a schoolboy. I love the modulated and worn effect. Thank you for taking us through this step by step! Cheers, Jeroen
  15. Oh yeah Kev!!!! That's it! Very cool start of a vignette with 'stopping power'!! Following this!
  16. Thnx Doug, that makes sense! Building the Silver Wings Hawker Hart soon... I'm gonna need some pointers.
  17. you know! I actually forgot that! I can add it with a fine white pencil... Or I'll leave it as is... Darn...
  18. Hi all, Here's my finished Me163B-1a in RAF colors. Based on these references: http://robdebie.home.xs4all.nl/me163/vf241.htm In reality this particular captured example had it's MK108 cannons removed and also it's rocket engine. However: at what point this happened isn't to be found. This plane was being towed and tested as a glider. I used the Hasegawa Eduard PE set to spice things up. As all these parts seem to fit this kit really well, I can really recommend it. Also used the Master models pitot tube and added some missing details. All can be found here: http://forum.largescalemodeller.com/topic/1510-132-rocket-science-me-163-meng/ Here are the pics:
  19. Wow! Thnx for that! Very useful. Looks like a museum for my bucket list too... Cheers, Jeroen
  20. Hi Guys, Diving right in with the Fokker E.IV! I've enjoyed building the Fokker E.III soo much, this was a no brainer. I love the worn effect on the cowling of Lt. Müller's plane, so that's what I'll be doing. Here's a link to Hans Müller's page on the Aerodrome forum: http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/germany/muller1.php In addition I will use the amazing resin Taurus engine, HGW seat belts and LMG08 (not LMG08/15) after market barrels. And off course a wooden Doug Craner prop! Cheers, Jeroen
  21. Oh... those are nice. Quite a welcome change from all the lozenge we've seen lately. Very colorful...
