2 new items on the bench, about halfway to completion -  I don't have a specific scheme in mind yet, so if you think you'd like a commission, this is good timing for you!   What about Clausen, or Graf, or Dahmer?  

Completing 2 rudders for a Turkish buyer -  Sigfried Schnell's FW190 rudder and Heinz Bar's Bf109 rudder.  This buyer has also picked up several panels.  Also, looking at Clausen's FW rudder as a possible next project.
A Hackl rudder is complete, and being mailed to its new owner in CA.  

3 major projects completed for Christmas, all commission pieces.  the highlight was covering and painting a bona-fide 190 rudder in the colors of Sigfried Schnell.  What was surprising was how heavy that rudder was -  it had steel bars along the front edge, which reportedly provide some counterweight to aero forces in flight.  Finishing that item was a delight, as it belongs to a major collector in the area.
I have a number of rudders that are completed and ready to go, and am always available for commissions.
Also have been working on several panels, with squadron emblem art.  Keep your eyes peeled for these.  Several 190 panels were signed by 2 Luftwaffe pilots from CA.

FInished 2 FW190 Panels, go take a look at the tab "Panels and Emblems" on this website.  Both are available for sale, and could ship out quickly.  Where else could you find some bona fide FW plate with some impressive artwork on them?
Project that is awaiting start is a re-covering and painting of an authentic FW190 rudder, and I'll keep you posted on progress.  

June 2016 -  I've secured a source of FW190 panels, and will be rolling them out shortly.  I intend to put staffel badges on them, as these badges were very cool and very unique.  Look for those in the next few weeks.
We are going to start advertising in some major aviation publications, specifically Flight Journal, so look for the ads!
​  

Tall Tails are coming!  Also, the Butcher Bird will make an appearance, with another round of Ace-inspired art.  Expected completion in mid December.  UPDATE-  December activities have taken more time than expected, but will post new items & photos within a week.

These rudders are full sized -  but can be made HALF sized, in case you don't have a hangar wall to put full sized item on.  Contact me directly if you have an interest in anything that deviates from full sized, and you can be accommodated!

Happy New Year!
 

Another Ehrler rudder in work (a commission), but am also looking at Eric Hartmann's famous rudder, at 100+ kills, well on his way to become the top scoring Ace of all time.  Considering Werner Molders as a subject, as well.  There are several rudders on Ebay for a significant discount (Hrabak and Von Kaganeck) -  proceed to Ebay for a look, however there's only about a week remaining on that sale price.

I hope that ALL fathers had an enjoyable day, and weekend.  Mine was spent developing a good looking display plaque for the Fin-flashes, which after multiple passes with a router, and multiple coats of polyurethane, are now ready.  I will have an example ready for viewing later this week.
