Hi everyone,

I want to share my most recent creation: Manfred von Richthofen’s Albatros
DIII bi-plane.  It is my second entry in the ISCC contest.  Pictures of the
plane can be found here:

Thanks,

(cross-posted to lugnet.military as well) I saw yesterday when I was browsing Brickshelf's Recent stuff, and i was wondering if you would post it to Lugnet.

Hi Ben, I didn't know that Richthofen also flew a bi-plane. Your model is very nice and it is in fact lots of fun to transfer the "set of the year" into a own creation. Do you know the Fokker DR I from Vancouer / Canada: (URL) my personal version of (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests)
