You seem to have overcome the 'problems' rather nicely, to put it mildly. 😁 In fact, the second photo from the top gave me a sudden urge to climb on board! Superb work! JHS

Beautiful helicopter build, but the two aircrew guys should face each other to look believable, not speaking to the empty air in front of them. Also, seriously, you've served up an absurd overload of photos! 60 pics of work in progress alone! 🙄 Too little and too much are both the enemy of 'good', but too little at least spurs the desire of your audience to see more. Remove 80 per cent of your pics and select the remaining ones judiciously. Kind regards, JHS

Very convincing figure painting overall! Although … what happened to his left eye? Is he severely cross-eyed or is it some gloss paint reflexion that creates the effect? JHS

Amazing piece of work. You have really aced this guy's face – I wouldn't have liked to stand in his way … JHS

Beautiful work and a splendid presentation of a 2D figure! JHS

Very skillful finishing! Your choice of subject is a bit disturbing to me, though. JHS

Impressive and exacting brushwork! He looks entirely believable. Very well done indeed, and that goes for the nicely understated base as well. JHS

Superb modelling – I was convinced at first and even second look that they're 1:48th scale. Incidentally, Willy. M. spelled his family name Messerschmitt. 😉 Kind regards, /JHS

@bjohns5: You are right. There's no doubt about it. It is difficult to find Tiger Moth photos showing a good plan view in the air. I only found one, the camouflaged machine. You must have looked hard to find four of them! In the process, you also managed to prove yourself wrong and Airfix as near right as makes no difference. I don't know about your eyes … astigmatism, perhaps? To my photographer's eyes, all four rolling Moths show quite clearly that the wing tip curve has a perceptible flattening of the curve at around one third chord. Your de Havilland drawing, on the other hand shows a simplified, almost continuous curve. If you don't want to see that, fine. I could make a Photoshop document to prove it, but truth be told, I just can't be bothered. A simple solution is to just grab a pack of Milliput, a sanding block – et voilà, you will have wing tips to your satisfaction. Everybody happy. 🤗 Over and out. Kind regards, Joachim

Amazing modelling and imaginative, atmospheric photography that's showing the model at its very best. Personally, I'd skip the "motion blur" stuff. In glaring contrast with the model, it's not at all convincing. Not to these eyes, anyway. 😉 Kind regards, Joachim

Utterly convincing. Kind regards, Joachim

All that TLC was used to jaw-dropping effect. In short, she looks like the real thing! Kind regards, Joachim

Beautiful build with a particularly smooth finish! For the correct spelling of the type, just take a peek at the top of the rudder. 😉 Might be an idea to correct the heading, to help people searching for Rafale inspiration… Kind regards, Joachim

It looks as if you have managed the poisonous lady perfectly! Kind regards, Joachim

The effect is like a lady d'un certain âge after spending a couple of hours at the hairdresser and the beautician and finally putting om her new hat – et voilá! Beautiful! Kind regards, Joachim
