Leif, Accomplished removal of the black outlines on both wings of the Grunau Babby IIB. Found that the outline can be selected in Photoshop with the magic wand tool and judicious selection of the tools tolerance value while in the contigous mode. The outline "area" is then filled with...

Hello Leif, Thank you for the review. I hope this type sells well for GPM. On the subject of up-scaling and repaint. I've been somewhat perplexed by the black outlines on the Grunau Baby IIB. The black outline really kills the "scale look". I haven't experimented with Photoshop yet but...

Cecil, From the angle you took the photo it looks like the one in Pogo, the USS Okefenokee, where Pogo declared "We have met the enemy and he is us!"..., Gil

Hi Rob, Nice Corsair II! Great way to introduce yourself! Welcome to the Farm..., hope you like it! Best regards, Gil

Rob, Truly amazing effect that the deck has on the "look"..., Gil

Ted, Great build! I'm always captivated by the way you're able to attain realism in your models. Warmest regards, Gil

Erick, Thanks! It's even better close up! Gil

Erick, You might try using the following site: http://imageshack.us/ It's free, doesn't burden the site and allows those who wish to see larger images to do so. Gil

Erick, Beautiful work. Need to provide larger pictures for more detailed viewing. Gil

Leif, Little wonder why no one, absolutely no one can top this. Thanks for bringing this to the attention of all..., The ventral nose piece does show signs of unseemly seams. Aluminum Foil Paper treatment might be the fix..., Best regards, Gil

Leif, Paper coated floral wire will most likely work. I thought about using it but the problem is one of scale. The paper coated floral wire seems to come in only one size which limits it's direct application without modification. I think your time would be better spent learning the art of...

Tubular Aircraft Construction Detail Below is a small construction trial with small diameter paper tubing using the rudder detail of the Orlik Sopwith Triplane. Need to find a slightly larger diameter wire for forming the curved section but overall the technique works well enough for general...

Leif et al, Received the Orlik Triplane in the mail yesterday. As Leif indicated it includes enough detail to build a bare bones version if one has the patience and skill. This brings up the development of "rolling tiny tubes" and forming tubular shapes. The horizontal & vertical...

Ok, The deed is done. Also picked up a GPM Granau Baby for the Depron experiment. Gil

Tim, Ok, Ok, please indulge a bit of rhetoric but the point I was really trying to make is whether Orlik is fishing for a new niche, playing one-upmanship on the competition or just seeing how things go (my votes on the new niche and seeing how things go)? I think what Leif's alluding to is...

Leif, Great model description. You're right about the questionong the detail level and whether it's appropriate when it is totally hidden from view which breaks the rule "only model that which shows". Do you think Orlik is testing uncharted waters? Curious to see if there are any...

Christoph, Absolutely beautifull! You are a master of this art and we appreciate your sharing of it. Sincere Appreciation, Gil

Christoph, Speechless as usual..., you've put us all in a familiar quandry, "how in the hell did he do that and will I live long enough to even approach this kind of build quality?" Warmest regards, Gil

You have enough material to write a book..., not a bad idea..., Best Regards, Gil
