PlaStix Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Incredible work on the canopy. You seem to have really captured the feel of how one should look. Can't wait to see it under some paint! Kind regards, Stix 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind regards, Stix Hi Stix, I think it has come out not to bad, here are a couple more pic's before paint Now these are after paint but before weathering, still not sure the colour is right, have looked at a lot of pictures, some are like this others are darker/greener?? I am very please how the shape has turned out Regards Richard 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithjs Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Well, what can I say....!!! Super work, looks just perfect to me. Loving the canvas bow clamps and the tiny chain on the bow brackets. Glad the photos were of use. You've certainly done them justice! Can't wait to see how the hood clamps turn out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BulldogModels Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Such wonderful work ... every time I check the updates I'm left with my jaw on the floor in a pool of dribble. Love the canopy and the method used to create it. I was wondering if you was going to make on, and thought you may whip out some canvas and a miniature sewing machine and whisk one up ..... but this looks as good if not better Keep up the astonishing work Cheers Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
