Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 2, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2013 Hi all, I have been working on this kit for a few weeks / months now. I've gotten a wooden prop from Doug Craner. HGW seatbelts. HGW masks. Taurus sparkplugs. Ehm... that's it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 2, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted March 2, 2013 Thnx Jamme, Great to see you here again. Here's a look of the Germania prop. I sanded the lacquer off again. Placed the decals and am re-applying the gloss coating. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators JeroenPeters Posted March 6, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2013 How long did it take to carve that prop? Excellent work it looks real! I had this carved by Doug Cranes. Took a week i believe. I sanded it down again and sprayed it with micro gloss after i added the decals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmayhew Posted March 7, 2013 Share Posted March 7, 2013 Beautiful Jeroen Have always wondered why a German medal has a French name /French blurb on it?? As a quick aside whilst 'you are here' so as to speak, may I ask are all the British WWI fighters' machine guns now available in turned brass? I am such a WWI newb! Thanks for sharing such stunning work Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing such stunning work Nick Hi Nick, I don't believe so. Master models has the turned brass. Easy for the Spandau's but the Vickers had grooves along the length which is more difficult to replicate. And to be honest: brass would not add much realism to them. Aber makes some really nice Spandau sets, but not for the early Spandau... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for sharing such stunning work Nick From Wikipedia: The Pour le Mérite, known informally as the Blue Max (German: Blauer Max),[1] was the Kingdom of Prussia's highest order of merit. It was awarded strictly as a recognition of extraordinary personal achievement, rather than as a general marker of social status or a courtesy-honour, although certain restrictions of social class and military rank were applied. The award was given as both a military (1740-1918) and civil (1740-1810, after 1842 as a separate class) honour. The award was founded in 1740, by the francophone Frederick the Great; it was intended primarily as a military honour, but was also sometimes given for civil accomplishments. New awards of the military class ceased with the end of the Prussian monarchy in November 1918. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used giant rubber biscuits to throw you guys off and make this build look like a 1/72. Did it work? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
