Putty Animal Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Hi all. Here are some pictures of my latest build. Just finished today. This is Supermarine S.5 N220. Winner of the 1927 Schneider trophy race in Venice. Scratchbuilt from plastic card with struts from sterling silver sheet and rigged with 0.07mm nickel silver wire. Paints are from the Mr Color range of lacquers, and the decals are a mix of hand cut and home printed. For those across the pond who are wondering: the shilling is about the same size as a modern 10 cent piece. While the matchstick is actual size. So am I for that matter... Thanks for looking. I've made a link to the build thread at the bottom. Hope you like it! 55 5
keefr22 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 That is simply gorgeous, wonderful modelling! The beaching trolley is really neat too! Keith
Toryu Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Very very exciting. I love this scheme so superbly replicated in this small scale!
Malc2 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 Lovely, super sharp. Everything is really in proportion. Malc.
TEXANTOMCAT Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 That is a very splendid thing, Mr Animal, well done! 🙂👍
billn53 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 It’s things like this that give me pause and remind me how much talent there is in this hobby. Well done, sir!
noelh Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 That's a little jewel, literally given the silver in it. Where did you get the 1927 shilling? I think it's probably worth more than one Bob these days.
Spitfire31 Posted July 18, 2021 Posted July 18, 2021 What a superb piece of watchmaker masochism! Amazing… Kind regards, Joachim

Gary Brantley Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Incredible modeling! Bloody strewth mate, you take the cake with this one. 🏆 What small-scale precision and craftsmanship is on display in your work sir! And, those tiny spoked wheels...just too much! Wow. 🍺

Kitkent Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 That's a real stunner! Quite like 1/144 and this is just about the best I've seen. Chris.
davecov Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 Stunning build, especially at such a small size. Dave
Murdo Posted July 19, 2021 Posted July 19, 2021 A beauty! An absolute cracker! You should be very proud of that! I love these wee 1/144 aircraft.
