Great figure and overall scene.
I really appreciate the SBS pics of your sculpting work... very educational and informative... thanx for that. You make it look so easy, when I know it's NOT!

Cheers

Colin
 
Thanks again dear Gents, you make me blush :shy: with your overly praise :love:

Dave, how are you matey?

Just for the record & as my brother called from Telford yesterday, both the LVG & Albatross DIII (was featured here with Werner Voss) got NOTHING in the competition :cry:

As I was not there, I can't say what was in the competition & against whom they were pitted :wideyed: (n)
 
Hi mate

It was a very good competition, loads of brilliant stuff mate. I spent a bit of money, bit lucky with a great kit.
It was so worth going for the stuff to purchase.

Hi Dave, you're already home? Did you see or speak with any of my fellow Noise Makers :ROFLMAO::LOL:
I kind of alerted them of your presence there just before they left on our forum (y)
 
Hi mate, I had no chance mate I could only go the one day, and was totally engrossed with the purchase of many modelling items, I tried to make my way round everything, but had trouble getting to do that, please send my apologies

Mike are you referring to the Pour Le Merite Medal (I assumed it was anyway when I painted it :wideyed:) & the blue tint by any chance please :confused: ?

Hello Ray,

Concerning the pour LeMerite, did your subject, Lt Weymar, actually receive one? If so, he would be a rare observation pilot indeed! My guess is that he was never rewarded with the medal, in which case the medal should have been carved away. The color, is fine and correct. But Blue Max's were not handed around to one and all. It is who is wearing the medal that i question - not how it is painted.

It is highly unfortunate about having to remove the figure from the model. If I recall correctly, here in the states IPMS rules allow a figure with a model as long as it is touching the model. It is considered a diorama if the figure does not touch the model. Very strange rules, but then we are talking about IPMS types, aren't we? At any rate, I think you could have kept the figure intact without calling it a "diorama" here in the states.

But it is still a great piece! I can't wait to see what your next collaboration with your brother brings!

Cheers!!

Mike

Hi Mike,

It dawned on me AFTER I asked you o_O re what you were inquiring sort of & kept wondering if I should answer you before you replied.....I opted to wait so I'll be sure :cautious:

Yes, I should have carved it away as I did not make any research & as you said, I thought that the Blue Max was awarded to one & all since I also painted it on Werner Voss :oops:

Having said all that, both the LVG & DIII (obviously both without their pilots) came EMPTY HANDED from Telford :cry::cry:

But that is all in the PAST now, so this eve I'll go to my Brother;s once again to help re fix Lt.Weymar up on that wheel :LOL:

Mike, I have the following in WAITING :cool: from Model Cellar, the Red Baron & the English Officer with Richtofen's head wearing the loose cap & sporting a fashionable moustache, & from Pegaso Models I have Enzo Baracca (y) I noticed that Enzo was quite tall :confused: since on the box he is indicated as 1:32nd :wideyed:

Thank you so much & Regards,

Ray ;)

Hello Ray,

The correct name is Francesco Barraca. Perhaps you are thinking of Enzo Ferarri, who acquired Barraca's "cavallino rampante" emblem to use as the insignia on his beautiful cars?

But yes, Baracca was a tall fellow. In many of the photos i found of him with others, he is taller than everybody! I do not know his actual height, but he certainly was over six feet tall. Also, those 54mm figures i did for Pegaso many years ago were my very first 54mm sculpts and were perhaps a little larger than the figures i am sculpting today. My newer figures for Model Cellar and others are closer to true 1/32nd scale, as they should be, since they were meant to work together with 1/32nd scale models.

BTW, you might tell your brother that Hobbycraft makes an excellent Spad XIII in 1/32nd scale. The pose of the figure was taken from the famous photo of Baracca standing next to his Spad XIII. I hope to do this one day myself. But building models has been little more than an unrequited dream these past years......

Cheers!!

Cheers Mike.. ALL noted (y)

I was at my brother's earlier, to fix Lt.Weymar back on that wheel & he showed me some biplane for the English Officer, but Honestly, I can't remember what was which :unsure:

I will text him in the morning to have a look here (he already did) re Francesco Barraca's mount :D
