+Geezer 3,569 Posted November 7, 2017 No problem - that was many years ago so most people have forgotten. Below is my online image website. I used to use Photobucket but, like so many guys, I gave up on them when they raised their prices without improving their service. You might have to register to view, but it is free so it will only take a second. https://postimg.org/files 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I felt a bit guilty because I realized that I was adding to his workload and putting more pressure on him - and if he reads this post then I apologize for that. Maybee you Geezer could lighten his workload a little bit and help him out by taking it on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Angled shots, showing the side of the actor's face, are too difficult. Go back a page or two and see the shots of George Peppard - one shot is almost looking straight into the camera. O.K., I got your message - Real Life™ has me out here in Ohio with a bunch of less-than-desirable weather blocking my way back to Hampton Roads. I'll see if I can rustle up some face shots of the Blaine Rawlings character after I get back in tomorrow late afternoon/early evening.

+Stephen1918 1,474 Posted November 7, 2017 I have commitments in the real world, so I don't know when I'll be able to upload planes again. So, Geezer, whatever you want. Crawford, there's a DH 4 from a few years ago in the download area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have long downloaded and installed your DH.4. At that time I had access to the A-team site, but I consider that your plane is better. Probably, Here I meant a DH.9 or something like that...

Crawford 570 Posted November 8, 2017 17 hours ago, Geezer said: OK, I'll put it in the stack of "stuff to do - someday." A good shot! Something similar was described by von Richthofen in his book : Quote I had had built into my machine a machine gun, which I had arranged very much in the way in which it is done in the Nieuport machines. I was very proud of my idea. People laughed at the way I had fitted it up because the whole thing looked very primitive. Of course I swore by my new arrangement and very soon I had an opportunity of ascertaining its practical value. I encountered a hostile Nieuport machine which was apparently guided by a man who also was a beginner, for he acted extremely foolishly. When I flew towards him he ran away. Apparently he had trouble with his gun. I had no idea of fighting him but thought: "What will happen if I now start shooting?" I flew after him, approached him as closely as possible and then began firing a short series of well-aimed shots with my machine gun. The Nieuport reared up in the air and turned over and over. At first both my observer and I believed that this was one of the numerous tricks which French fliers habitually indulge in. However, his tricks did not cease. Turning over and over, the machine went lower and lower. At last my observer patted me on the head and called out to me: "I congratulate you. He is falling." As a matter of fact he fell into a forest behind Fort Douaumont and disappeared among the trees. It became clear to me that I had shot him down, but on the other side of the Front. I flew home and reported merely: "I had an aerial fight and have shot down a Nieuport." The next day I read of my action in the official communique. Of course I was very proud of my success, but that Nieuport does not figure among the fifty-two aeroplanes which I have brought down. The communique of the 26th of April stated: "Two hostile flying machines have been shot down by aerial fighting above Fleury, south and west of Douaumont." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+Geezer 3,569 Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Been working on the D3a skins. There are several different interpretations of the paint job shown below. One interpretation is the use of lemon yellow with black stripes. Close examination of the old photo shows slightly different shades of gray when compared to the forward fuselage, so the yellow version may be correct. You guys can use the graphics pack to make your own interpretations. Edited November 11, 2017 by Geezer 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Geezer 3,569 Posted November 11, 2017 I will finish the four D3a color schemes, but will only make the standard factory scheme for the D3. You guys can use the graphics pack to make any additional D3 paint jobs. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck 496 Posted November 16, 2017 Of all the aircraft you're working on, this is the one I'm most interested in, since the model we have now is old, and nowhere near your quality. Thanks for everything you give us, Geezer. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Geezer 3,569 Posted November 17, 2017 Your welcome, but - to be brutally honest - I work to please myself. If you guys appreciate the results, then everybody wins. If not, there are plenty of other aircraft to fly. Cockpit progress shots. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for everything you give us, Geezer. I would like to add my own thanks to the above post regarding the new aircraft produced by Geezer. Your continued efforts and input are very much appreciated and admired. Many thanks for these new WW1 planes for First Eagles, I think we will all look forward to flying them.

This is a fun indoor hobby for an old geezer that keeps me sharp with multiple research, modelling, or artistic challenges every day. Sample below. I originally intended to depict the interior painted silver but then discovered my reference may not be reliable. So...now I am making a realistic wood fuselage shell. Third shot, of a Pfalz D8 replica under construction, shows what they look like before they are varnished. Edited November 18, 2017 by Geezer 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck 496 Posted November 19, 2017 (edited) Great find Crusader. I love the way some of the instruments have hand written information on them. That, in and of itself, takes you back to the early 20th Century. Amazing find. Thank you for sharing. Edited November 19, 2017 by Heck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
