Got a little inspired by Tim's latest posts.
I'm pretty close to being done.

This is very nice!

I built a Fokker DR I too using Rhino 2.0, but it nearly cost my sanity. I'm building plastic again.

To get it historically correct can madden you!

Great job.

Thats nice.

Glad to hear you are almost done. What program were you using again?

Hey Tim & Gregory, Thanks for looking. I'm using Carrara 4 Pro.

Good job. Is it a particular aircraft or did you just come up with an attractive color scheme? At first I thought it was Lothar's aircraft because of the Jasta 11 colors on the front and the yellow until I saw the Jasta 19 tailplane and the checks on top.

Yeah its base on Lotahr's Dr-1. But I really liked the checkerboard pattern and spent a lot of time making it work, so I left it. eventually I will do a proper "Lothar" color scheme. First I need to do a scene with a pilot in it a lot of people are asking for that, as well as seeing the prop spin.
The fuselage still needs work. The map I made for it gets distorted when I apply it.

How about a wire?

I like the guns also. How did you make your cooling jacket?

Wire? do you mean the wires/cables that I'm missing? Eventually I will put them in. The next thing I think is the metal covering for the middle wing. After that I'll probably do the wires. There is a problem with the middle wing not being quite wide enough. I used the William Wylam's plans which I later learned were not that accurate.
Thanks to Mark Millers suggestion of making the hole sections invisible, thats how I did it. I made an "invisible mask and then applied it to the barrel jacket.

By a "wire" I mean a wife frame render. Those are always interesting to see.

The metal on the fuse and middle wing was a challenge for me. Mostly due to the lack of good reference photos. I think a re-did mine 3 times as I got better reference materials. Turned out ok in the end.

The guns look real good. I forgot you talked about this is another thread. Your material works well also.

Keep up the good work!
