  1. A summer flight during the day, so that you see where you're going! Very nice shot, though!
  2. Most of the time it's much drier these past few years in Antwerp. Climate change is noticeable.
  3. Fatigue shows on their faces. And what a tight fit for Guynemer (and he was actually quite thin).
  4. Why do hou make such detailed aircraft, if they are just for destroying them afterwards?
  5. It took him months to prepare; he made elaborate drawings of the equipment he would need, etc. Very well done. Now where did I put my bird wings?
  6. This "Flying Dutchman" was on Dutch TV yesterday to confess it was all just an animation project. A hoax, nothing more!
  7. Must be a terrific feeling! A wonderful achievement!
  8. I liked it very much, great camerawork, good story, good actors, WW1 trenches atmosphere represented well, etc. Haven't read the book, so, can't compare. But "Birdsong" definitely lives up to the (high) BBC standards!
  9. Happy flying in 2012!
  10. Looks very nice in OFF! But didn't you get locked up for flying over neutral country in a warplane?
  11. I know you can in OFF, but it's nice to see a Camel in another sim, too.
  12. Want to fly a Camel over Switzerland? Take a look here: http://www.aeroflyfs.com/index.php/de/produkte-shop/shop-international.html
  13. Now, that's good news (for our wallets)!
  14. I found out that, by putting together my first models, I learned a lot about the (dis)advantages of paper modeling and that the mistakes I made can be avoided by this new knowledge. After my holidays I'll try my hand at some other models, a Nupe 11, for instance.
  15. Thanks, guys! They are very cheap, they just take a simple download and you can make as many as you want. You can even resize them. Another thing is that you actually feel like manufacturing an aircraft, cutting & bending the paper, ... It's more labor intensive and yet more fun than working on plastic models.
  16. A Nieuport 17 and a Belgian Renard 17 (from fiddlersgreen); I slightly modified and painted the Nupe and added a paper pilot to the Renard.
  17. I'll see what I can do. If time allows I'll post a few pics before I go on holidays. Mind you, I'm just starting out in paper. But there is a lot of potential in these models and they will certainly serve their purpose (i.e. I need the models for my aviation art). Glad to read some of you are interested in paper modeling!
  18. Yes, just finished my first WW1 paper model of a Nieuport last week. I'll be making some more come next winter, it's great fun; there are several free models available on the net, just google for paper model aircraft. I also found some freeware and payware by googling 'Nieuport 17 images' etc. Fiddlersgreen has a nice collection of WW1 aircraft but the scale is rather odd.
  19. Indeed, some look really good. And they are cheap! Plus converting or adding more detail can be done much more easily than on plastic models.
  20. My condolences. I know how it feels, having lost some friends too early, too.
