Pretty extensive preview! Looking forward to diving in the heap of plastic myself!

Wow! Nice work on the spine!!

Truly amazing work....

I'm looking into that at the moment. I think a normal base (25x25cm) would cost 25 euro's. That's for the wood, woodworking and printing.

Hi Gus, I've seen many samples on different materials printed by this machine. Even rough wood printed with photo's. The effect is even more cool. I'll order different kind of wooden bases and do some tests. I want to scan some ww2 escape maps (from different theaters) and see how they work out. The cool thing is that this printer can even print white ink, which ensures proper depth in the artwork.

Here we go! My brother works at a company that can print almost any object in amazing resolution. He printed my wooden base on a huge machine and the result is... stunning! This opens possibilities. How about a wooden base with a color printed ww2 arial map? Or FW190 factory drawings? Etc etc... Who would be interested? I'm kinda exploring some options with Uschi at the moment. Printing proces. A machine that vacuum sucks the wood to it's place and prints with 7 colors: The result:

SWS spitfire? I can't imagine... On the other hand they do venture into FW190 land, with Revell and Hasegawa already covering a few of those..

Cant wait to see some weathering and penel lines on this. Final stretch now. Great work!

Cool! Love the little scratches....

I'm still amazed you're 'allowed' to do this stuff in the living room! Things sure are taking shape...

And this is the artwork I've prepared to print on the base. Found a company that can print directly on the wood:

Cheers! Still spotting for irregularities. Looks ok. Almost ready for camo. Attached the attachment points for the wings. The slot perfectly onto the base. Doesn't need glue. Also: Maketar custom paint masks arrived!

With folded wings please!!

Be careful with Zip kicker. It can make the glue brittle. Why not use normal plastic glue?

Nice one! You might want to use it as your avatar since thats broken at the moment! Really cool result there Ralph. Love the cowling.

Purdy cool! Maybe add some oil washes to the grass too. To get it less clean and green?

And here's the piece of window frame from the cockpit that Jim is donating to my build. Yes. This piece of metal is of the actual 4D+FH that crashed in Norway and is now on display at the museum in Gardermoen. I will find a way to display it on the base. Cheers Jim. Really grateful..

Here comes the paint. This Mr. Paint sure is the shizzle!

Scored a base for the setting. I will paint it and cover the top with drawings from the instruction manual. Not sure hw I'll go about, but I'll figure something out. Additional to the fuselage and engine the base will receive a piece f metal. Enter stage: Jim! Ordered masks from Maketar, but they come by snail mail.

Lovely update.. Looks like a pretty rugged construction too!

I'd buy one. In a heartbeat.

I don't think a plastic injection moulded model will be releases of this subject anytime soon.... so.... We should be happy with a resin version.

Loving this...

Damn! Thats more work than just chopping of a few inches from the top! How cool to see a Manchester conversion set when the Lanc hits the shelves?

Are you going to smooth out the orange peel skin of the Revell Ju88?
