My 1/72 scale aircraft

If I could ever finish painting the grandfather clock I’m working on, and assemble it, then I could focus on my models full time again.

You know we're gonna wanna see photos of this clock, right?

I originally stained it a reddish brown and the admiral did not like it. So I decided to paint it black because the clock face, weights, pendulum and hardware are all gold. I still need another coat of black on the outside in a few areas and I have to finish the inside. I already painted the back panels and the door. So once I’m done with the main housing, I can begin assembly and mount the movement, the chimes, install glass and hang door, etc. So looking forward to getting this project off my plate! I was chastised by the admiral for letting it sit too long.

Thanks, it’s been in the works for years, so now it’s time to finish it.

That's beautiful! Can't wait it see it finished. All those 1/72 kits will make a nice carrot to get the job done!

Thanks! It’s in the garage and we’ve been getting a lot of rain lately, so not exactly great painting weather. But I should finish the painting in the next week.

I didn't see a Fokker D. VIII (also called Fokker E.5)
Or, there is always the big bombers like the Gotha.

On my short list for WW1 aircraft is:
Fokker E.IV
Airco DH.9a
Junkers D1.
