I like the figurines set. Are you going to build a diorama ?

Peter Jenssen 著者
No diorama, sorry.
I just place some figures next to the models on the shelf.
Did these guys already, for the Roland and the Hansa-Brandenburg:

Looking good... enjoy the rigging... complete other aircraft then the Etrich Taube and very similar... weird way of steering the plane...

Peter Jenssen 著者
The wing warping steering looks like it's going to be interesting, yes.
A fair bit of rigging in this one. Started on the floor. -and the chair.. 😉
Yet to stick any plastic to plastic...

Peter Jenssen 著者
Assembly has started.
And a bit more rigging.

Peter Jenssen 著者
Putting on some decals.
Someone had a bit of fun with the tasks for the navigator.. 🙂

Mike Daniels
Looking good Peter. Nice touch the 'to do' list. I wonder what it says ?

Peter Jenssen 著者
Thanks,

First one says:
Hinweise auf Gräben 2 km westlich von Artillerie
Middle one says:
Scout Standorte für Der Herr der Ringe Teil 4
Bottom one says:
Pick-up ein paar Bier für die Jungen

or:
-Evidence of trenches 2 km west of artillery
-Scout locations for Lord of the Rings part 4
-Pick up a couple of beers for the boys

I wonder if Peter Jackson noticed.. :-D

Mike Daniels
No way!! Thats so funny...Great stuff.

Bart Goesaert
lol... easter eggs in modelism...

Peter Jenssen 著者
Interior rigging. Ready to paint.

Gareth Windsor
Looking like a great build. That rigging id's looking good.

Mike Daniels
Coming on nicely. I like the little 'brass' ? eyelets at the ends of the rigging. Are they available as an add-on ?

Peter Jenssen 著者
Thanks guys!
There is no brass. Way simpler than that! 😉
It's difficult to add brass detail without it looking overscale.
These are lanyard hitches, or cow hitches with the end secured with super glue and painted with Alclad brass.

Peter Jenssen 著者
Wiring the back of the instrument panel. I could not find any references, so 'educated guess' here..

Peter Jenssen 著者
Interior rigging done. Seatbelts and engine next.

Gareth Windsor
Looks very impressive Peter

Peter Jenssen 著者
Thank you!
Engine is coming along nicely.
Engine painting and a bit of dry fit.
Metal finishes are Alclad

Peter Jenssen 著者
A bit more engine work. Assembly and spark plug leads.

Spanjaard
amazing detail, beautifully executed!

Peter Jenssen 著者
Thank you!
Tried one of the photoetch wheels. A bit fiddly, but great effect!
There's a full plastic version included that would be quite a bit less stressful to do..

Spanjaard
plastic will not look as good as that....

Mike Daniels
Yes, have to agree with Spanjaard. That is a very cool looking spoke wheel. Those PE spokes look mighty breakable!! Great job Peter.

Peter Jenssen 著者
Thank you
(Nothing like shipbuilding photoetch of course.
Sheets and sheets of much fiddler parts)
The spokes are sectioned for easier bending. Then secured in place with a ring on the rim. They are quite flimsy until this step, but once secured, they are quite sturdy.

Mike Daniels
You have certainly kept them very straight. Do they come with the kit ? or add-on ?

Peter Jenssen 著者
There are two choices with wheels for this kit.
(See latest album pic)
Same as with the Albatros BII. In fact, it is the same sprue. It even says Albatros BII in the sprue for the Taube.

Spanjaard
PE looks certainly 1000X better than plastic

Peter Jenssen 著者
Painting and decalling the fuselage before going any further.
Some decals are going around the tail are, so easier to do now.
Also this bird will start getting fragile once the tail is on...

Mike Daniels
Looking good!! Just the rigging and those hugh wings to do now. Are you going to get the new WnW Lancaster ? Nice figure set.

Peter Jenssen 著者
Thanks, a bit more still to do.
Brake claw, landing gear, radiators, propeller.
And the tricky aluminium finish of the engine cowling.
Lancaster.. aahh. I like the idea, but I think I'm going to either need a bigger house, or get one of the kids to move out! 😉

Mike Daniels
Yes thats the down side of 1/32. They do take up a bit of space. Those pesky kids have got to go!! ( The wing span on the new Lanc is just short of one metre). Interesting move for WnW?

Peter Jenssen 著者
Started on the figures a bit.

very nice so far, count me in

Peter Jenssen 著者
Thanks!
Mostly dog painting going on at the moment.. 🙂

Bart Goesaert
nice dog... beautiful painted... and sculpted, very lifelike....

Spanjaard
nice job on the dog indeed
