  1. A very nice, tidy job. Especially considering the challenges you described. It's one of a very few AFVs I would like to make. But your warnings about construction are noted.
  2. A very nice piece of work. Well presented and an original setting. Am genuinely impressed.
  3. Superb work. And including your daughter's model was a lovely idea. You have put me off trying one, though. Since it was the agony of wheels and tracks that caused the AFV modelling divorce to start with.
  4. In case these haven't been mentioned already: "Open Cockpit" & "No Parachute" by Arthur Gould Lee are both interesting, but only cover the western front. "The French Air Force in the First World War" by Ian Sumner is also good.
  5. You didn't feel inclined to paint it? It is a really nice sculpture.
  6. Well that's made my mind up about being anything other than a spectator at any shows I may go to in the future
  7. What a nice change of pace on here! I love them. (Mis-read the thread title as "Poisoned Fart Dog" to start with)
  8. Ooh it took weeks for this website to let me post anything again. God knows what was wrong - possibly at our end - but this project has ended (thankfully) and narrowly avoided the dustbin more than once. A pain in the nether region from start to finish: Here Endeth the Aircraft Modelling Era.
  9. Glued the cockpit halves together. Then quickly pulled them apart and stuck a load of .22 pellets into the nose. One is still rattling around but it ain't going anywhere.
  10. The tail assembly leaves a lot to be desired. Would have been better to cast the stabiliser as one piece rather than have four separate parts to attach, and which don't line up. Milliput and a bit of careful trimming is required there. Given how awkward this was to do, I'm now inclined to choose closed air brakes.
