Hi Terri
The Albie is a real nice build, and the rigging looks good.About the pics, they are good too.
Using the camera is like building models it takes some practise. Keep the pics come

Teri,

Excellent build, really nice job on the rigging. Can't wait to see what's next.

Regards, Dwayne

very nice build! someday i will master getting that distictive woodgrain effect on props.

I like the looks of her Terri........she has really good presence

Thanks for the kind words Lars , this was a enjoyable build (no rigging lines were harmed in the making of this kit ) . I'm used to at least breaking one of those buggers off when applying them .
Dwayne , thank-you for your tips sir . The camera is a new tool for me , just will take me some time on how to learn it .
Jim H . I'm still learning how to do the wood grain on props , I ended up doing this over three times !
Jimmrr , Thank as well for the kind words . This was a good learning experince for me . many of the techniques I learned for asking you guys and looking at other pic's on this site . I'm looking forward on learning more and improving my skills . I like to think of this site as ....(everything you wanted to know about scale modeling but were afraid to ask !)
Whats next on the work bench ? Rodens Fokker D.VII OAW-mid in 1/48

cooool ...the DVII is one of my all time flavourites!

Excellent work, Terri. I can't wait to see more of your model builds.

Mark

Thanks Mark . i'm looking forward on display more of my aircraft .

Jim so you like the D.VII , well with this one I'll post pic's of work in progress . This is my first Roden kit to build , lots in my stash , so more will follow on those builds at a later date .
Cheers for now !

Howdy,

Love those pink tires!! I've toyed with the idea of doing yellow on a build someday.

Brian James Riedel

Very nice work!

Really nice Terri!

Good Choice, the Roden's Fokker D.VII OAW-mid has many colorful versions, I built Ulrich Neckel plane:

PS: Use a couple of 250w or even better 500w halogen lamps, otherwise much of your fine work will remain in the darkness

Very nice model and the rigging looks great.

you do really great work Terri. love,'it

Greetings Terri;
Very Cool work. Model On!

Thanks Brain , yellow tire's now that would be something different and something that I would like to see .
Thank you mike for your words .
Kalt , Thanks for the lighting tips , I'll get the hang of it sooner or later . I'm looking forward on building the D.VII , you did a beautiful job on yours . The other night when I finally open the box to have a look one of the makings was for a stripe airframe , well that just sent me to a whole new world ! . your build will be very helpful Thank-you for sharing .
Thanks for the kinds words Zoran .
Kelly , always good to here from you thanks .
Stephen thanks for your inspiration in the past on leading me to improve my skills .

Nice job Terri, Can you share some tips on how to do the rigging? I'm about to tackle an Arado 196 and any rigging know-how would be appreciated by all I'm sure.

Juggler

nice job terri...great looking model.

Cant add much to that. Looks great. The D.VII is a great kit.

Captain A , Thank-you . If it wasn't for you on asking about posting some pic's a while back I don't think I would have even tried to .
Ricardo , thank you for the kind comment .
Juggler , thanks . The rigging did take me some time ( I'm not a fast worker ) . The end results are while worth it . Drill all your locating holes first this is done before painting . I then use fine copper or steel wire ( telephone wire with the plastic coating removed ) cut into 1 inch in length wrap around a small drill bit and then twist , slide off and you have a small loop . trim it to length dip the end in gel superglue , place in hole . do this with all .
Next step is using plastic Q-tip with cotton removed . heat the center until it starts to sage and slowly pull ends away for each other just like doing stretch spruce . You end up with a very long fine tube . These were cut into 3mm in length . I use clear invisible sewing thread , you can use what ever you are comfortable with . Tie one end to one of the hoops apply small drop of superglue to knot , side on two of the Q-tip tubing , feed the other end of the rigging wire into the next loop pull tight , but not to tight , drop of superglue , let this dry for a few minutes . I then side the tubing to the ends and fix with superglue . and there you go ! I also use Photo etching parts as well . You can get them from Eduard , set number 48406 wire stretchers and control horns .

PS , trim off excess line

That is brilliant, I didn't notice the turn buckles at first inspection. More light for the photos to show off your handiwork.

What scale is that? I ask because I use the stretch q-tip trick for exhausts in 1/72 but I don't think I could get it thin enough for a turnbuckle.

I am here to serve.

Hi Jaypee , glad you like the tip . I learned from this site ! The D.V is 1/48 scale .

Sorry folks don't know what happened to the pic's , they are nolonger in my gallerie as well .
They were their this morning , then this afternoon nothing .

Greetings Ms. Terri.

Not sure what happened there. Only Your Hannover shots are in place in the members gallery. Try to up load the Alb. D.V images again. If they are high in kb send them to me and I will reformat them for you.
