No doubt...no doubt.
Fokker E.IV, Shapeways, AK Interactive Bleached Linen, misc decals, Peter Pig pilot.
oh, that's another nice one! Whole lot of nice eindeckers coming into the existence in Feb and March.
I can't get over the superb finish for a Shapeways model!

From what few bits of color info available this one could be Jurt Student or Oswald Bolcke once I make the id#s for it.
Lovely job, Peter!

Looks great, Peter. Cabling is excellent.
Peter Pig Pilot is icing on the cake.
Tim, Paul, Peter - beautiful, beautiful work.

So how do you guys create those wires?
something like this - full "How To..." to follow, when I can find the time!

Excellent, thank you Tim!
Tim goes into much more work than I do. I don't drill holes anymore, I just cut to length and superglue.
So do I, now!
In fact these E.IIIs were the first and last to get the drill treatment.
If you look closely, the starboard wings have 'threaded' cables, the port wings have 'cut-to-length' cables glued to the drill hole apertures.

I was wondering if you had a better understanding of this method than I. I first tried it on a pair of Moraine P types with wire and did not like the effort involved or the result. Now I just mark where the cable will be on the wings, cut the brush hair to length and glue. I guess here the easier way is the best.So do I, now!

Thanks for the how-to, Tim!
The idea being that if a thread doesn't exist you create one...

Understood, but I wasn't sure if it warranted a new thread or just an addition to the titles existing EI and EIII & EIV threads. After all, it is mostly an EIII model.The idea being that if a thread doesn't exist you create one...

Then why didn't you ask & save us both some time ?! *double sigh*

Great work all! Rigging is best left to the experts! That said, does anyone here have custom E.III or E.IV for sale... or willingness to take on a small commission?
If you are serious PM me and we'll work out the details.
Tim's probably got about 30 he's not using....
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
But you never know when he may need them Steve.

Fokker E.IV
Two Guns are better than one so I added this to the arsenal:
As a one piece model it was very quick to paints & finish. Firstly well soaked with Kleer polish
Using old GW & Airfix Acrylics laid down a base coat to muster up this version
Finished with details, a top coat & a final coat of Kleer before applying Miscimi decals & a matt varnish

Lovely Fokker there Flash. You ready to shoot it down in the OTT Campaign?
oh, that is very nicely done!
Nice one Flash. I hope you have better luck with yours. In our campaign mine has been an utter failure.
Thanks chaps - might be a bit late for this campaign though a late appearance might happen.

Very clean and crisp paint job! Great model, too (RAF I think?). That's the way I like it!
Today arrived my matt varnish supply. I hope it looks as Matt as your result afterwards.
Looks great, Dave! Nicely done
Very pretty!

Yes indeed, very nice and crisp paintwork Dave. Chris will certainly applaud your sentiments about the extra gun.

Very nice model, you can never have too many guns. I like the symmetry of twin guns, much more aesthetically pleasing....
Never Knowingly Undergunned !!
I think they should be offset - one in the centre, one to the the right (or was it left?) - to be accurate but you're right it does look nice as it is.

That was just on the first two (or possibly three) machines, the left gun being removed - all the other 40 or so were designed with symmetrical twin guns.

A couple of Shapeways E.iii’s to gaming standard to add to the mix for some early period gaming.
Great job, Barrie, those look excellent.
Terrific job on those Fokkers
Super Fokkers!
Really nice result.

Nice pair of EIIIs Baz.
Very nice Barrie!
Some good looking Fokkers there Baz. Probably time I investigated the Shapeways rabbit hole.
Not so taxing on the eyesight as Valom, and just a paint job required once sealed and primed.
But still very nicely done, Barrie.
Something else I have just noticed too. I use Micro-Sol on the transfers after drying. This is the second time but it seems to react with the White acrylic paint causing it to turn a light grey. Anyone else notice this. It has literally turned my Goring dvii grey rather than white?
I've never seen this, but then I always "seal" all paint surfaces with gloss varnish before applying decals, so the 'Microsol' and 'Microset' can't get at the paintwork.

Here is a Shapeways (Kampfflieger) E.III.
Paint, AK Interactive clear bleached linen ver 2. Peter Pig pilot.
This one is a commission plane that is off in the post today.

That's a beauty, Peter
What a beauty Peter. No ammo at the REP guns for you...
Excellent job, Peter!
