Topic: Show Off Your Photos

Kudos to the RCMF crew for getting things up and running again so quickly!

There were many very nice photos posted on a thread similar to this before the crash, so let's start it again I say. After all, it's getting closer to good flying weather all the time.


Photo by Rhonda Shelton

This picture was taken at the 2007 Hoosier Dawn Patrol. Art Shelton's 1/3 scale Fokker EI closes in for the kill on Billy Thompson's 1/3 scale Pup. The EI in scratch built, the Pup is from BUSA.

That's a good start Lucky Dog 

That's a very nice photograph Mike.   

Just one small error:  The Sopwith should be behind not in front of the Fokker

If the Einedekker is 1/6th scale then it is.    ken ;copper;

Thanks! Wish I'd taken it.

True Alan. What I told Art was that to me, it looked like the Pup had finished it's pass, and the Eindecker just hadn't started to burn yet.  He rarely got the upper hand in their dog fights. Wing warping is just too slow, as it was in WW1.

Yes, that must be the explanation

Nice work 

I'll see if I can post a couple of my little scale jobs.  Nowhere near as impressive as the other ones in this thread, but let's give it a go, eh?

Looking forward to the upcoming flying (and for me photography) season!

A few from the 2007 Hoosier Dawn Patrol.

I caught BUSA's 1/3 scale N17 prototype nicely silhouetted (if I do say so myself).



Dave Johnson's 1/3 scale Albatros DVa


Billy Thompson's Pup (again) pursuing Dave's Dva.

A few from my archives...

Hi Martin,

  How did you do the spinner on the Bristol??

  Great pics   

   Cliff

Bristol M1 spinner:

It is a one-piece spinner made from 2 layers of light glass cloth with a 1/8 inch plywood disc with lightening holes bonded inside, just ahead of the propeller. A block balsa spinner was made first and the mould made from this.

Martin.

And a couple of mine .....

Great pics gentlemen! 

Cliff, I especially like the DVII, SE5a formation shot.

martinw, What scale is the M1c? Well done on it and the pic. It looks 1 to 1 scale sitting there in the grass.

My Siemens Schuckert D1

The Bristol is 1:3.5 - wing span of 108" IIRC,

Jez

what does IIRC stand for? Ken  ;copper;

More resembling a mini dawn patrol, my 1/6th scale Camel returns from It's latest sortie over the south west English country side yesterday

Nice Walts! Very interesting looking terrain in the background. Looks almost colorized.

Thanks
       The guy that took the photo done a very good job of focusing on this rather small model, so the background looks slightly out of focus. But that is pretty much how it looks for real. We rent a field from a farmer who's farm is within the Dartmoor boundaries, so the back drop is moorland shrubbery, a very nice place to fly......when the wind stops
Walts.

The Pond Ezra! Put it in the pond!

Forgot I had this one. Taken at the 2005 Dayton, Ohio Dawn Patrol Rendezvous. 1/3 scale Pup.



Pilot made perfect landing (considering). No damage, except his pride. 

Great picture LD, kinda reminds me of those football pools coupons spot the ball

Thanks! But you've lost this Yank on that one. 

They were betting coupons my old man used to fill out every week when I was a kid. They would have a photo of a football match, but with the ball removed. You had to put crosses on the picture where you thought the ball was and paid per cross. the one who got it right won the money!
 Not quite the same thing but your picture just reminded me of this
