Greetings all I thought we might do with a bit of spotlight on some modelers that I have come to know as "talented." We can always learn from the works of other modelers. (So you don't get too bored with my opinions.) Here are some of the 1/72 & 1/48 works of Mr. Rick Geisler , callsign :RAGIII,

First his Eduard Albatros D.III (OAW) build.

Next is his build of the 1/48 Roden Se 5a (early issue where he fixed the lower wing ribs.)

Thanks for the recognition, and the reply! I have been building WW1 Models for a LONG time! I am now subscribed to this site and hope to contribute some articles in the future.

Hi Rick and Stephen!

Remember that if you have more pictures of models (10 to 20) you can submit a Portfolio to Aeroscale. it's been a long time since we didn't published one.

Here's what a portfolio looks like: Portfolio
