Bloody Beautiful, Rob.
Whose model is that?

Bloody Beautiful, Rob.
Whose model is that?

It is a Reiveresco model Barry. The wing decals are also from them but the unit markings are homemade.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

My other Hansa.

[Womble]

How about flying boats? A CC and a few W.18's.

Well here is mine.
It is based on a colour scheme used by a Naval Unit flying Phoenix D.II & III's

Nice work! Those floats look fantastic Barry, how did you get that colour?

Well those just put the gilt on the Gingerbread for me Steve.
You will not need anyone else's seaplanes or flyingboats to bolster this lot.
You can run a whole scenario on your own account.
Rob.

[Sulring]

Great job!
Steve, did you use commercialy available decals, or are those homemade?

[Guntruck]

The naval lozenge is from 1/144 Direct on Ebay (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/1-144-Direc...p2047675.l2563), crosses from Dom's Decals. The personal markings and serials on the W12 and W29s are home made.

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Ohh come on this is not fair...my wish list is now longer than the aircraft I own!

[johnbiggles]

Slap me sideways, Steve, you've been busy
I need to compare notes on painting techniues with you
( read steal shamelessly)

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Shouldn't that be 'slap me shapeways?'

Here's a Brandenburg I recently finished. It's the first model I've tried from Red Eagle Miniatures.

[Boney10]

Nicely done Cole

[Teaticket]

Very nice, blends right in with the carpet!... I mean ocean.

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Very tasty it is too Cole.
I nearly said like a piece of cake.
Rob.

[Barkmann]

Stunning planes guys!!! I especially liked yours Rob, i dont know why but its beautiful!
I wish I could fond 1/144 planes nearby.
Thanks

Great to find this updated thread! I have the W29 and a CC on order from Shapeways and can't wait to get working on them when they arrive. Thanks for the tips on where to order decals, guys. I now need to acquire the Osprey Seaplanes vol. 2 to look at tasty profiles/pictures (not that I can't surf the Net and find some too...)

All of the planes above look lovely - well done, all involved!

All the best,
Matt Materne

[HotleadColdfeet]

Thanks guys! I have 2 AARs to submit yet, but I have a feeling that my new Brandenburg will soon be taking part in our little campaign. Who knows? The HMS Iron Duke may not have seen the last of the Central Powers yet...

[Captain Chum]

Superbly done Cole....very nice detail.

[FarEast]

So I finally got all three Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 finished, first off;

Friedrich Christiansen's Hansa-Brandenburg W.29

[FarEast]

Next up 2532 from the same unit as Friedrich Christiansen

[FarEast]

And finally 2530 again from Zeebrugge, notice the modified tail plane.









And one of them all together.

[Teaticket]

Really nice looking seabirds James.

[FarEast]

Many thanks.... I'm REALLY tempted to get 2 more to finish the unit!

I also have two W.12's, D.4's, Babies and several other sea birds eying me from the shelf!!!!

[Teaticket]

I bought a few on Shapeways 1 day 20% sale but they won't get near the top of my painting list for some time.

[matt56]

The threesome of W.29s turned out lovely, James! Very inspiring, as are all of the planes on this thread. I am resolved to apply decals to mine over this winter break - heck, I may even finish the little beastie (or come close, anyway)

All the best!
Matt

[FarEast]

My problem is that they are cutting in to my 1/32 scale work!!

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Three more beauties there James.
I love those oil stains under the engine block.
Rob.

[HotleadColdfeet]

Very well done! How did you put such detail on the pilots?

[Barkmann]

Extremely detailed planes James! I'm in love with them. <3

[Zoe Brain]

[Flying Officer Kyte]

Would you consider this the Hansa to your prayers then Zoe?
It looks as if it means to sort things out bigtime.

I'm more impressed by James's concerto of (Hansa)Brandenbergs.

[FarEast]

I must say the collection of other aircraft in this topic are most Hans-ome and my own collection is just the tip of the iceBergs.

I have two W.12's awaiting my attention plus 2 Wingnut Wings W.29's and a single W.12.

Hansa-Brandenburg W series seaplanes are without a doubt my favourite of all the aircraft from that era.

[Schlonz]

Hansa-Brandenburg W.29 (Shapeways FUD from colinwe, Crew from RAF, Decals by 1/144 direct)

[flash]

I can only REP you for one you posted today - I chose this one !

[mikeemagnus]

Hansa Brandenburg W12 - Shapeways (JBMACEK) - Decals: Camouflage, non cross markings and small Maltese crosses on fuselage (White hand painted) - home made, but copied and adjusted from internet downloads. The large Maltese Crosses on wings and the smaller ones on the rudder, from 1/144 Direct.

[Stumptonian]

You’ve been busy while the site was down, Mike.

[RJG173]

The Brandenburg W 29 prototype #2204 as shown in the Windsock Datafile #55. The model is Shapeways by wow in FUD back when FUD was not as expensive as it is now. The hex pattern and crosses are from 1/144 Direct and the numbers are from Fighting Piranha Graphics. The figures are also Shapeways from ReducedAircraftFactory.









You will notice from the above photograph that the wow model is missing a spar from the float to the back of the wing. I didn't notice that until I started painting. The ColumbiaAerodrome version of this aircraft has the correct spars, but I like the detail and smoothness of the FUD material. Unfortunately this model is now terribly expensive.

[BobP]

Nice job on that Robert.

[Biggles downunder]

A Hansa Brandenberg W12, a brace of W29s and a KDW

Oh my goodness, they are just lovely!

[The G Dog]

After languishing in my painting queue, I've finished my flight of Hansa-Brandenberg W.13 flying boats. Models are of course, from Reduced Aircraft Factory.

[Teaticket]

Great flight of flying Boats Ray. Nice subtle differences to tell them apart besides the numbers.

[BobP]

Just saw this and those are great looking planes. I am working on a few new ones I received. Here are ones I did a few months back.
