    Didn't vote on the first round but both of these would've been in my top three...glad to get another opportunity...and both are very worthy.

    The slimmest of slims! Wow, what a finish. A case of no one should have to finish 2nd. I would not want to face those two teamed up in the sky. Rat-ta-tat-tat - OOO, you got me!!!

    Well at least I picked a second and third.
    That alone was worth the effort.
    Congratulations to both participants.

    I did not imagine that the result would be that close.

    Great contest. Thank you Herr Oberst!

    Kudos to the winner!
    Great job both of them
    I've voted for #2 "MIMMI - Off.Stv. Willi Hippert Jasta 74" because I think re-painting an original mini from Ares is harder than building and painting an scale model. It was my first choice all the time. Kudos to you too Sven

    Wow that was close! Great job to those two! What was the recourse to another tie? Both painters meet up and duel it out till one is left flying?

    I think that only counts as a forced down Sven.

    And perhaps not even that... might have been claimed as OOC, when in actuality he voluntarily threw his aircraft into a spin, recovered once disengaged, and returned to the barn in time for lunch!

    Congratulations, Zirndorf Flight Leader!

    I did the same model earlier, but it looks nowhere as good as yours! It may be delegated to the drawer now.

    I voted after the first day so that my vote, knowing who's minis they were, was not the deciding factor. The last critical vote was redcoon2's vote. When I posted the hour warning yesterday, both entries were tied at 37 votes.


    Had there been a 2nd tie, I was going to have to insist that each plane be sent to me for further evaluation and test flights

    Thumbs up

    Hearty Congratulations to both Bob & Sven!
    With only one vote between them it just shows that both those aircraft were really superb examples of painting.
    I must admit that I voted for both in the first round but voted for Mimmi in the final vote off.

    Great contest. Thank you Herr Oberst!


    Mimmi says "thank you" to all supporters!

    Really like this one Sven, I got one also, no where near as good as yours. Was the Mimi a decal or painted ?

  46. #96

    Default

    Thank you comrades.

    The decal set was a Reviresco one.

    Beside this I had a lot of work to separate the landing gear, wings and tail section. Then to straighten the structures on the rudder and the wings and to arrange the decals, besides this the Reviresco model seems to be a little bit more slim then the Ares Games version.

    The decision for this decal set was simple: The availability, I have a Nexus Games plane card for the model & I thought that Mimmi looks so cude!

    If you judge only the craftsmanship I think Mimmi scored more votes then I expected.

    Without exagerration, this model was just a breathtaking one.
    Did you really dimounted the model to pieces, Sven?
    How many hours did it take to complete the whole thing?
    It is beyond the imagination.
