No, it’s supposed to be evocative rather than a specific aircraft.
I like both of them!
Tim,I like what the staff has come up with for the badge. It yet again shows that less is more. [Y]
After I had uploaded my design, I just remembered the British actor Terry Thomas. Anyone recall the old 1965 movie “Those Magnificent men and their Flying Machines”?
regards,
Jack
Yeah, I love that movie!
And kudos to both badge designs.
Looks like a Bristol F.2 to me.
sorry but couldn’t resist, just for some chuckles… a Terry Thomas group badge lol!
regards,
Jack
Now that just sings!
Tim-is it too late to join this GB?
I have an Eduard Albatros D. III, 1/48 that has the interior & prop painted from an earlier build attempt (The Great War GB, parts I & II).
If not, I have an Eduard Fokker E. V, 1/48 fresh in the box.
Thanks
Bob, we’d love to have you! How about I put you down for the E.V? That way we’re all on even footing.
I’m not sure how Greg and Gamera will like having another Central Powers aeroplane in the mix, but that’s all right. Still plenty of beer and your choice of this-wurst or that-wurst.
A little update on my part–starting to clear the workbenches of superfluous modeling stuffs. Cleaning up the airbrush station. Straightening the shipyard and putting away a bunch of figures slated for painting but just haven’t gotten there yet. By tomorrow night, the workshop should be back in working order. Hope to post a pic of Kidwell Aeroplane Factory No. 1 soon.
Man, I’m really liking the badges you all have come up with. It’s gonna be a tough call as to which one I use. May have to go with John’s idea and alternate 'em! [;)]
…and here’s a shot of my entry, the WnW E.III in Udet’s markings. For a monoplane, there’s a ton of rigging on this bird, but it’ll give me a chance to try out those RB Productions PE turnbuckles I snagged from Ultracast…
Hi guys,
Both badges have been added to the initial post.
2 Badges? May cause some to submit 2 enties to snag them both. But who would do such a thing? (Says the guy working on his 4th “Steel Cats” entry[whstl])
I like both of them but to be honest I like the Terry Thomas one even better!
I do not mind more Boche joining the fight- as the Yanks say - ‘a target rich environment’ yes?
Just added Bobbaily’s E.V to the list.
Just 17 days to go!
Excellent! [Y] Tim, it may be a few weeks before I’m able to jump in full bore. Work on my WnW D.VII has been progressing steadily, and with most of the intricate work done (except for the guns) it is now on to the larger assemblies. I’ll still be following along here with great interest. Can’t wait to see what you fellas start turning out! …and maybe I’ll even sneak in a session or two on the E.III before my D.VII is complete. [;)]
Maybe when the GB is done we could see the completed builds in a special Readers Gallery in an issue of FSM???
I like that idea! [Y]
I’ll second that.
No promises, but I’ll float the idea.
