Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 Impressive work sir, Impressive. Will you eventually add the wings or will it strictly be fuselage ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandsaw Steve Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Great work! Really Great! Congratulations on completing this masterpiece. Strangely perhaps, one of the things I really like about this is that you have not modelled the whole aeroplane. I have recently noticed that some of my favourite models only depict the ‘core’ or ‘focal point’ of a subject. When the work is this good the observer doesn’t notice the ‘missing’ bits but just enjoys the unobstructed view of what’s there. This approach opens up a world of possibilities… 👍👍👍 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was trying to show what it must have been like to fly in the Fortress and how cramped it really was!....the wings and power plants never crossed my mind!😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uilleann Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Ah Fozzy, its spectacular! A museum deserves to be built just to house it properly!I remember well when you had just started this project and being amazed with every post at your skill, and the ingenuity of using so many household and ordinary items to such great effect! A real masterpiece here you've created, and no mistake. I know you never intended to do the wings, though have you given any thought to doing say a single engine and prop perhaps? ...Asking for a friend. (The little devil on my shoulder) 😁 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Brantley Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 That is truly an amazing piece of scale modeling art! Incredible doesn't seem to do it justice, but it really is. What a demonstration of modeling skill, patience and perseverance! Please take a well deserved bow for this Fozzy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notty Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Wow. In about 40y of modelling I've never seen anything that's blown me away like this. What an achievement. First photo I was confused and thought it was a photo of the real subject being modelled. Spectacular! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
