Finally I finished my 1:16 scale XVIIth Century Dutch Musketeer! The work in progress was shown somewhere in part 2. I am satisfied about the result. Later on (when I have some more time) I will let the figure stand on some grass or whatever, this piece of wood is just something temporary. But those pix will follow another time when finished.

I have yet to contribute to this thread...photo wise anyway. I was at one time an avid modeler, and at some point I will dig out some of my past projects and get some photos of them.

Buglord, my next project is the Eduard 1/48 Bf-110C. I started it a while back while waiting for the Future to dry on my Mustang and got the instrument panel and cockpit glued together but stopped there. We traded a couple of threads on this - started a thread on it around April 9 and you showed my your E model (I think) in winter scheme.
I've not selected a paint scheme for mine as yet but was thinking desert maybe. I'll probably get on the 110 later in the summer - big vacation coming up and then a kitchen reno.
@nickdanger3: I made the cords myself. I used a red, whit and blue cord and turned it around and around. Afterwards I used some glue otherwise it didn't hold this way. I made some parts of the rapier's haft myself 'cause the original parts didn't fit. The hair I made from and old brush. It was easy to get a yellow feather, during Easter period you see them everywhere.
Uufflakke is East-Flemish dialect for pig's head meat. It’s an old recipe of boiled pigheads, it looks disgusting when canned but tastes surprisingly well with some mustard. Not a lot of people still eat it but you can find it in most of the butcher’s stores. That explains my avatar.
@carts: Thanks!
@JG52Uther:It is a model from MiniArt http://miniart-models.com/ I would advice you not to buy any of those cheap Russian made figures because nothing seems to fit. It is quite frustrating and it takes a lot of time to cut of or sandpaper the plastic parts and fill the gaps.

Actually it IS technically possible and used on several aircraft including airliners, they have them set to droop in the Neutral position, though not by that much, the lowly Cessna 152 droops it's by if memory serves me correctly 1/2 to 1 degree. There you go, you learn something every day
Having spent enough time in the right seat of the mighty 'Buck Fifty-two' to question my sanity, I'll disagree with you. Though that was long ago, I'll get up close and personal in the next couple days and will relay my findings.
That being said, Hooray for ND for indulging himself!
I would not expect the Average 152 pilot to know this, it amazes me some of them manage to open the door, though several have failed to close it properly prior to take off.
Flaps up and level them, later 152's you will see both Ailerons droop, Disagree if you wish, but as a Licenced Chief Engineer and a CAMO fully rated on them I am not telling you porkies
Well,to get back on topic,the Wingnuts LVG.CV1 arrived on my doorstep today,everything about it reeks quality,from the sturdy box,to the beautiful decals,the superb colour instruction manual,and the crisp moldings,all that remains is for me to make a dogs dinner of it! On a slightly disgruntled note,i was expecting to have to pay V.A.T of about £10.00,what i didnt expect was to have to pay Parcelforce a £8.00 "handling fee".............Gits.
I've been out with a blown modem for several days.
Re critiques: a friend who is an IPMS Nats winner and has produced IPMS winners for decades once won a Nats with a P-51D which had the l.g. leg doors reversed---mind it had passed through what was supposedly the most rigorous vetting in the plastic model world. I noticed it instantly and let him know. We laughed our heads off that a show winner had such an obvious error. Errors are funny---there is no need to take them personally. Mistakes are part of the business of modeling, and I make plenty. Pointing out errors keeps this thread from degenerating into a silly mutual admiration society which doesn't advance anybody's technique one bit.

By the way Leit, whatever happened to your USS Helena. Was looking forward to seeing this one progress.
