JohnT Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 If it was a Nieuport I’d say Formidable but as it’s a Sopwith it’s “Jolly good show Old Boy - Spiffing” lovely work and way way beyond my plastic bashing efforts. Bravo 👏 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy350 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Excellent work. How many hours does it take to produce something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Step Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I agree, absolutely museum quality - a stunner. One potential piece of criticism: maybe it is the photos - but it looks as if the pilot has no pupils?? Makes the dogfight somewhat harder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbagger Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Hi all, Thanks again. Andy350: This one took around two months from start to finish. I'm retired so that's working most days and weekends. 2step: The pilot does have slight flesh shading but the lighting over the camera glares off the figure so flesh tones don't show. The pilot also has eyes with pupils and eyebrows but these don't show in the photos either. I'll need to bear this in mind for future photo's, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
