Very clever!! You have a good eye and have picked up all of the essensial elements of the spinning prop blade.

Hi Kurt -
Very interesting problem you are working on.....I'm sure our friends who build prop planes have addressed this.... But, it's new to me ! The clear base looks like a good start I'm not sure about the partially drilled holes(?) in regard to the prop blades - instead of the white evergreen, what if you tried using three or four pieces of the clear plastic?
That is, cut a few pieces of the clear plastic looking like one half of the section/profile of the prop blade - then place them in a fairly tight, radial pattern from the prop hub on top of the clear plastic disc/base - then,
On the back side paint on the typical blade markings (yellow, black, or white stripes etc), then on the front side, hit with (airbrush) the Tamiya clear smoke (?), and highlight here and there to represent motion; or, do something else!!
The morning coffee has kicked in!! I'll keep watching!
Cheers
Nick

Hello guys ,
Jerry , thank you brother for looking in and the kind words .Really appreciated !
Amoz 02 , thanks for sharing the link and the visit . The laser cut prop blur are great items ,no doubt. You want more photos ??They're coming !
Nick , OEF........thanks for the great explanation. Well , i'm sorry to say this but i have not looked yet on Aeroscale.Which is not very smart of me because the specialists are there .
I did not drill holes in the prop hub , the strips are glued together with the plastic.And the reason why i use them is because the thickness sideways. Laser cut prop blur and dynamic propellers are great items , in fact very nice looking in front or behind the model . But there's no lateral thickness. So if you look to the prop model sideways it's not very realistic in my opinion.Thanks again to keep watching Nick.
I made a second attempt to create a dynamic propeller . It is not finished yet , need a bit more work on it but this is the result...
Photos ,
Cheers
Kurt

WW1 planes did not have painted propellers with yellow tips or bands like WW2 planes, Nick!
Never mind m8!!

There's a cheaper way to mask and airbrush onto a clear plastic disk, but it's still going to be flat, sideways. I really don't think there's a way to have it both ways! Try checking the Aeroscale section of Kitmaker.
I've seen that topic this evening. Very interesting , so now i'm going to make it the same way
Thanks again .

Hello everyone ,
i know it's been a while ago that's because the world cup soccer kept me busy and also my other passion which is cycling took a lot of my attention.
So i'm back just wait for the popcorn it's a smallish update
This is a sketch of the in-flight diorama (Top view);
The idea ;
The Sopwith Camel is flying very low over the water , the pilot tries to escape the Fokker. He knows that his airplane is faster than the fokker . The fokker is flying higher than the Sopwith because the pilot in the Fokker has a poor visibility forward which is a serious drawback . In the Fokker the red baron knows that his airplane has a better gradeability than the Sopwith so he can easily climb out if the Sopwith is trying to gain altitude. Something the pilot of the Sopwith is also aware . So the red baron is waiting for a fatal mistake from the Sopwith.
The position of the Fokker will be above the trees of the forest. I have to make the two airplanes first before i can estimate how large the diorama will be. (and i think LARGE
) . This will be a very interesting build
Cheers
Kurt

Hi Kurt - very ambitious my friend!!! Can't wait to see this one really "flying" (hahaha!) serious tho - looks cool - will be fun - but I get it, summer fun vs sitting at the workbench detailing what looks like a pretty complex layout! Summer wins!
Take care - we'll just have to wait!!

Hi all ,
i have been working lately on the build of the Fokker F1 and it's almost finished , i also found on the web a simple way to simulate a spinning propeller.
But there's a little change of plan , it's the Fokker F1 of Werner Voss instead of the red painted plane of von Richthofen. So it's Voss that chases on the Sopwith.
Here are the pictures of the Fokker including the pilot figure and spinning prop.
This model has enough flaws to make an experienced plane modeller very depressed
,i'm so sorry but i'm glad it's a Fokker
Thanks for having a look anyway....
Cheers
Kurt

Hi guys ,
- mike , sure it's still on and i'm going to finish the project too. Glad to have you back buddy.
-Jerry , concerning the painting work , i think i'm not far away from the real paintings on the Fokker F1 from Voss. I have a great respect for the young pilot Werner Voss who was only 20 years old when he was killed in a dogfight . In my first post you can see the photos of a farm land that i took about two years ago. That was once the aerodrome of Marckebeke near the place where i live. That's also the same spot where he took off in september 1917 to get killed in action near Ypres. Thanks bro for the reply...

That is really cool that you live so near the "action" in your dio. I am envious of you guys that live in Europe,for your locations next to or near to such climactic historical events. I made my best efforts when I lived there to see as much as I could but there is so much more to see!

Well i guess my country is an old battlefield going from medieval times to Napoleon in Waterloo , the Great War and the second World War.....
. If you check my album on Facebook about Aerodrome Marckebeke there will be more to see Jerry Thanks for the reply ,

Hi all ,
i'm back with a small update . I have almost finished the paint job on the Sopwith pilot , his flight suit is painted with acrylics while the gloves and the thing on his head (fly helmet ?) are painted with oils to improve the leather effect.
Let me introduce to you '' Captain Bean '' of the Royal Flying Corps...
Thanks for looking .

Hi everyone ,
it has been a while ago since my last update but here i am with more....
I have changed my mind about the scene . I was planning to make an in-flight diorama with both biplanes flying low over the terrain . My new idea is a dogfight high in the sky.
The reason for that is i'd rather not to make two simular dioramas ( Remember low fly by with the Mirage V) and above all creating this idea is a big challenge for me. Now to begin with , i have to create something like a forced perspective in other words giving the illusion that a certain object is further away than in reality. That means also a whole new setting.
To explain it, you have to imagine that you are seated in an airplane or biplane in this case and you're flying on high altitude above the clouds and you're looking down towards earth , you will see trees for example not in detail but only the tree tops like this
The forced perspective that i'm trying to create...
I'm also creating a big cloud for completing the scene ,
Thanks for watching , more about the cloud on the next update
Cheers
Kurt

Hi Kurt - glad to see your post! It's consistent with your innovative style - pretty cool idea and execution. The "aerial" view of the lansceape is very convincing. The black and white, and sepia images look very authentic. I suppose if your cloud cover is deep enough you could even hide your airplane supports in it (?).
Looking forward to your next installment - take your time, it's worth the wait!
