|
| | | 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.

| | | | | (...) Dear Ben, I like your model alot (had to look twice at the bended knighs lance - or is that in fact a brown tube?), but are you maybe able to take new pictures? These are a little fuzzy and especially too dark to give a chance to get aware of (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests)

| | | | | | Dear Ben, (...) The pipe is a brown tube from a technic set. In addition the machine guns are technic 1 x 2 pins with brown tubes inside of them. (...) I will try to get new pictures sometime soon but I have college finals. Thank you for your (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests)

| | | | | | I have changed the contrast of the photographs so they are brighter. Unfortunately, the digital camera I am using can not do closeup shots well. Ben (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests)

| | | | | (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. (so we can shower you with praise for such an excellent model) You did a great job on it, I (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.build.military)

I am a perfectionist and not totally happy with the plane's fuselage and nose but it was really fun to (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.build.military)

| | | | | 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)

(why change what works best?) The cockpit was also much more difficult because of (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests)
