Werner Voss

Hi Guys

Just a little thing that may put Ray mind at ease, this is a little flight project that I am working on. Apparently Voss was pretty much a speed freak and enjoyed not only flying like a madman, but riding motorbikes as well. So my little piece is called “Low Flying” and concerns a piece of motorcycle and flying history, all in one photograph, I am scratch building a 1914 German Wanderer motorcycle that Voss rode around the camp. what you see below is the first incarnation with too much of the bike cut off I have now reattached the rear part back to the rear of the petrol tank and will be constructing the engine as well.....

let me know what you think

Dave

Dave, my dear friend I'm seeing this after I posted on the other thread

Nice one re putting my mind at ease

That is a sublime idea and one which I like a lot!!!!
And a big applause to you re showing the WHOLE bike as I got a fright at first when I saw from where you HACKED it

Ray

I DO APPRECIATE FIGURES BELEIVE ME BUT BEING AND AFV FREAK WHAT STRUCK ME MOST ARE THE SPOKES ON THE BIKE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE A SMALL SBS ON HOW TO DO IT

Hi Dave glad to know you
I'm not into figures....used to about a million years ago...can't keep up with you masters....your project is simply brilliant and I like Ray am relieved that you are including all of the bike....
Nice job mate
In nannu pec....aka Louis

Dave,

Nice one, when I first saw that photo of Voss with his bike, an idea cropped up to include the bike with the DIII but when I saw the work it involved I had to do otherwise

I think you have good plans to work on, very nice spoked wheels. As Alex said it would be good to share the process you used.

Hi Guys

What is in the images below is the result of two solid days scratch building with a couple of days more to do of detailing before painting. I will be stopping at the place you see now, as I am running out of time before the MFCA, as I have few other project to get done. I will get round to doing a SBS of the wheel at a slightly later date.

Dave

Cool Idea Dave, and exquisite clean scratched bike ... looking forward for your spoke sbs ...

Keep them coming ...

Ivan

Dave, a real pity about the sawn off bike, but if you are running out of time, that would have to SADLY suffice

Ray

I agree re sawn off bike but if you are pressed I don't blame you

Hope you got it ready in time, and would love to see some pics

Wil

Hi Guys

This is basically there, forgive the bad pics, I need to do some repair work to the front wheel.......

Dave

Ah saw Billy Bishop before I saw this so my bed has to wait for this reply as well

Great job by all means and again I have to repeat re WHAT a PITY that sawn off bike but there's no use crying over spilled milk I guess but still, seeing the sublime work both construction wise and painting wise to the HIGHEST DEGREE as is expected from you that you pulled on this gem, I keep dreaming of the FULL bike

The small twist to Werner's head gave him a whole new dimension as if saying to the skies "I can STILL fly on the ground "

Cheers mate

Great piece and totally different from the norm!!

Hi guys

Thanks very much, sorry I havent been back on in a while, just been bust getting a bust painted
