Dear all! Klaus Dobisch and me, we have made up a new gallery for the creativity contest at 1000steine.de. We have decided to make it a part of the adventurers theme and we have called it "Missing in Action". Take it look at it under the following (...)

Hi Ben, Just wanna say I loved the MOCs! My favourites would have to be the JU52 itself, the hangar and the fence (lovely use of spears!). The story was cool, litterally. :-) Pedro (23 years ago, 16-Dec-01, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks for your nice words Pedro! All the other stuff and the whole gallerie have been created to give a nice background for the two (slighly different) Ju airplaines... The basically design for the Ju has been made up by Klaus, then I liked (...) (23 years ago, 17-Dec-01, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)

Very nice, the scenes at the airfiled have all the nice touches that add life and make it seem real (or as real as a lego model cane get!), I appreciate that you have spent a lot of time on it already but is there any chance of a DAT of the Ju52 any (...)

(...) Dear Tim, sorry to tell, but I think you have no other chance, than taking a close look at the photos (We will upload some more when the contest is over). Quite certainly there will be no DAT version of any of the two Ju 52s be available... (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)

Great scenery, cool story and definitely two awesome renditions of the JU52 plane. Stunning! This sure looks like a winner ... Andreas aka "El Caracho" (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)

(...) Thanks at all for the positive feedback! When the contest is over, we will make up an additinal brickshelf or 1000steine gallery for sure.

Klaus\Ben Great models. The Ju52 is a very familiar plane - it is in so many films set in that era. Every time I see it I always wonder why the fuselage and wings are covered in corrugated iron(!) - a feature you have kept in your models. The only (...)

(...) I think it was to save materials cost and weight. The corrugated shape of the metal made it more rigid. Hence, less metal was needed to preserve the rigidity of the surface. The Citroën H van from the 50-ies also used corrugated metal for the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)

(...) That is exactely right. Corrogated sheets of metal have a much better weight / bending-strengthness ratio than flat ones. But you have two main disadvantages: - the air friction gets higher (because the surface area increases - the modern (...) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)

(...) The Ford Trimotor (perhaps the most important US airplane of the 1920s) used corro as well. Not too surprising, since some say it was a copy of an earlier Fokker. The Ju 52 looks somewhat like it as well. (URL) (23 years ago, 19-Dec-01, to lugnet.adventurers, lugnet.general)
