colt6 Posted November 29, 2015 Posted November 29, 2015 After looking many times on a Life magazine picture and after the fun building my Herbert Maxis dio, I decided to make another long time dio. If I'm able to do it, it will look interesting, like a sculpture with the shape of the blown up Bf 109, we will see. There are many points where right now not sure what we be around the plane, but I start with this: There will be only the photographer and one british soldier Arno 3

colt6 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 After the christmas things are over and I found a little time, I started painting the figures. Because I'm an absolutely figure painting rookie, I looked on Youtube for some tutorials and hey: there are some really great ones! The one on the left is from Hornet, the other is from Bronco and hey: the Hornet is absolutely phantastic in detail. The head from the Hornet figure: Also I begin cutting the 109 body. Lol Arno 1
wackyracer Posted December 27, 2015 Posted December 27, 2015 Figures are fantastic Arno. This is looking good! Which issue of Life is the photo from? Aaron 1
colt6 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 Hi Aaron, good question, I have no idea, I just found this picture. Arno 1
colt6 Posted December 27, 2015 Author Posted December 27, 2015 Nearly in the middle of the DB 605 engine build and I must say: I really love this Eduard stuff more and more. In this dio the engine will be seen so well, so I'm happy to have such a great after market engine. This is right after the priming, the DB is still missing the complete wiring. Oh and the gun barrels are from Aber. I also found an Bantam 40 BRC kit from MiniArt, that will serve as transporter for my reporter crew. Compare the size from the DB with the Bantam!! Lol Arno 2
youngtiger1 Posted December 29, 2015 Posted December 29, 2015 Wow, that eduard detail set looks awesome. Great project, so i can't wait to follow along and learn a few things 1
Dennis.E Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Beautiful detail Arno - I look forward to following along with this project! Dennis 1
colt6 Posted January 3, 2016 Author Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks for your friendly words gentlemen. I'm a slow builder and I love to play around with my pigments and all that stuff, but because I'm very untrained I made many mistakes and have to start again. First I try to find out what this white marks on the top of the engine are. So I think that are not scratches, this is cooling liquid that flow out from the top connector. Amazing how many tubes and wires are on this Eduard engine, still not all installed, but I love to weather and have a look how it could come out. Maybe to strong. Thanks Arno 5
Administrators JeroenPeters Posted January 5, 2016 Administrators Posted January 5, 2016 Great stuff!! I would only recommend not using a photo frame for the base but to get a proper wooden one. Looks waaaay better! 1
Dennis.E Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 Those Daimler Benz engine blocks leaked a lot of oil and were generally an awful mess at the best of times Arno...I don't think you can 'over' weather your subject here!! 1
crazypoet Posted January 6, 2016 Posted January 6, 2016 This is quite a challenge! I'm following with interest 1
