Scratchbuilding attempts

Villiers de Vos
I take my hat off to you. Very good!

Robert Podkoński autor
You're too kind to me. Thank you🙂

Alex K
The subjects (especially the 1910s aircraft) reminded me of the work of Gabriel Stern - I think congrats are in order! 👍 👍

Robert Podkoński autor
Thanks Alex🙂

S M
Well done and rare topics ? I deeply admire scratchbuilding

Robert Podkoński autor
Thank you S M - this is pure fun, indeed. I have more projects in mind, but there is not enough time...as always.

Alexander Grivonev
What nightmare gave you the idea for the "Helicopter Starfighter" 😄

Great work, very creative 👍

Robert Podkoński autor
@Alexander: As far as I know it was the concept of test pilot Pete Girard adapted to F-104. Here are further infos:

Thanks for your kind words🙂

I missed this the first time. These are fantastic scratch-builds Robert.

Robert Podkoński autor
Thank you, Gorby. Much appreciated 😉

Villiers de Vos
A master at work

Dietmar Bogatzki
Fantastic scratchbuilds of rare planes 👍

Robert Podkoński autor
Thank you, Dietmar and Villiers, you're way too kind to me 🙂

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Great stuff you got there, Robert. 👍
My personal favourite is the Starfighter.

Robert Podkoński autor
Thanks, WhiteGlint 🙂 I wonder if anybody ever tried to build a flyable proof-of-concept scale model...

Neil
Fabulous work (and scratch skills) Robert! 👌 I'm with WhiteGlint, love the Starfighter... Though a Starfighter airframe as a helicopter!?... Said in the same tone as "you built a time machine out of a Delorean!?"... Crazy! 😜 Followed the first link, most interesting 👍

Ben M
I wish I could "like" this album more than once.

Robert Podkoński autor
Thank you both, Neil and Ben, very much. You are too kind 🙂

Lochsa River
Very very cool....

Thomas Ehrensperger
awsome collection of airplanes you have here 🥰🤩😍

Robert Podkoński autor
Thanks for your kind words, Thomas (If I only had more spare time... so many more ideas 😉 )

Ludvík Kružík
Robert, that's a great collection. 👍
My farorit is also an F-104 helicopter. The idea is so futuristic that it is surpassed only by the French SNECMA Coleoptere 🙂

Robert Barkoski
The "VTOL" Starfighter is my favorite. Nice collection of skills, and planes!

Robert Podkoński autor
Thanks, Mates! You're very kind. What do you think about this, Ludviku:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNECMA_Atar_Volant
sitting in the inlet of the vertically positionet jet engine seems an "adventurous" idea... 😉

Robert Barkoski
That's wild!

Ludvík Kružík
Robert, it seems that SNECMA engineers went to school with Jules Verne. 😄

Robert Podkoński autor
LOL 😄
