GASPER PODBREGAR MINIATURES

 Another aircraft diorama that I made in the past. This is HANSA-BRANDENBURG B.I by legato kits in 1:72 scale. This was a lot of fun, the tree was completly made from scratch but the model needed some modifications. Here are the photos: 

I glued the cockpit with the first part of the canopy, the cockpit still needs a few details and some more paint on the figures. I started working on the turret, I replaced the machine gun tube with an injection needle. I decided to glue the RC motor slightly different than I first thought, here I am just DRY-FITTING the motor on the freshly ''carved'' hole for the motor, it looks a bit like a massacre at the momment but some grinding and scalping will do.  The first wing is ready for gluing, now it's time to use some wires and iron on the motor for the power.

Finally found some time to work on this one, the cockpit is more or less done, just a few minor details and corrections.  Because Im doing the plane in flight I bought a small surprise on the ebay, the micro 1,5V motor that I will try to place into the wing.  Because I want the motor to fit in the wing perfectly I must fill the gap in the wing with the Silicon putty beacuse it's lighter than the putty.  Now comes the hardest part of the build, the correct placement of the motor so that propellers will spin smoothly and at the right angle.

This weekend I was in Moson Hungary on the biggest model contest. It was just amazing, so many perfect models, a lot of exibitors and visitors and of course I rather not talk about the shops, the stock of the shops was just amazing and you could spend a lot of money on everything, I was on a really low budget so I bought only a few things for the dioramas. All in all I had a great time there and Im coming back next year.. with more money and models. I was competing here for the first time but there was a lot of competition so maybe more luck next time. Here is the photo report of the contest, cheers!
