Title: Gweirda's boring build
Post by: gweirda on January 04, 2017, 03:17:03 AM

Late to the party, I guess.

(EDIT: Irrelevent photos/comments on past project deleted)

I'll do something practical to augment my existing 1/300 WW1 stuff -

either the infamous German 'twin-tail'

or a few (maybe a flight?) FE-8s

...or maybe both.

I'm old and gonna die soon, so sue me.   ;)

That was funnier than it should have been  :D

I'd go for the twin tail German jobby.

Well, I'm about to fall off the first page, so I figured I'd better post a photo:

Not very interesting, is it?  Hard to get detail out of some styrene carved/sanded to rough shape, especially when it's so small: At 1/300 the wings are only 1.9".

hmm...I just realized that that will disqualify my entry because it doesn't meet the 50mm minimum size.

oops

Mount it on a base ;)

As Rich said, it's only the base that needs to be a minimum of 50mm - I'm just glad there is no upper limit to the base size

 :D

There is an actual upper limit size.....it has to be smaller the the real life Scariff Shield Gate! ;)

Only kidding! :D

Okay, the AOG C-I is too small, so it's out.  I'll finish it, of course, but not for the contest.

I plan to stick with something for my 1/300 WW1 gaming, and don't want to get caught with the 'not big enough' problem again, so...

I realize the choice puts me square in the 'dunno if I'll finish it or not' camp, but why not give it a try?


* it's the first thing mentioned in the video, not the second   ;)
