Re: Metal Works Fokker DR.1
Awesome work Joe! You make these things look so easy to do. That being said, I'll admire the ones you do and stick to plastic kits...

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Re: Metal Earth Fokker DR.1
I know this is an older build log, but I have to say this is cool even though some may frown on these as models
Your fellow modeler,

Well it’s certainly not Wingnuts Wings… but it’s not Aurora either.

I've done a couple myself. Fun yet challenging.

Re: Metal Earth Fokker DR.1
That's looking so fine, Joe!
I've long eyed those lil' kits at Hobby Lobby and think one might be a good gift for one of my grandsons before too much longer. He's almost 9 now and is interested in models. Perhaps a bit young at 9, but he's closing the gap everyday!

They are a challenge. Then again, I'm always up for a challenge.

Re: Metal Earth Fokker DR.1
Thanks for the comments. I had A LOT of fun with this and yes....it was very challenging. I've got a couple of more of these that I really need to get to.SigEp Ziggy wrote: ↑Fri Sep 22, 2023 2:47 pm I know this is an older build log, but I have to say this is cool even though some may frown on these as models
