Skip Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 A stunning piece of work, thank you. It's just a wee bit sad that it concludes a fascinating, humorous and informative build thread. Bring on the Wasp! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBaron Posted July 28, 2022 Author Share Posted July 28, 2022 Thank you to everyone for expressing such kind sentiments on this thread over the course of the last 24hrs. Your are good company which makes me just wish that the phrase 'deeply appreciated' could be translated into an icon more suitable than just putting up a 'Thanks' symbol for each of your replies. From jet to rotary in the next one! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark.au Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I wrote a whole big thing about context and so forth, how seeing these pics isolated from the WIP was a little surreal in a way. Too many words. Your Vixen is sublime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maginot Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Outstanding modelling in 1/72. Love all the bits folded up, tucked away, swung out and cracked open. Got more folds than an origami Vixen 🤓 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole thing [both aircraft] is exemplary, but I keep on coming back to the wing fold. Fantastic. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giemme Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Tony, I think Steve @Fritag said it right: this (and her sister ship) was more a creation than a build - and what a creation! Everything on this one is at the top: 3D modelling, attention to detail, building, and last but not least the paint and weathering! Thank you for taking us through such a journey!

Bedders Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Firmly in the blimey category. Great modelling. Justin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Keg Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 No way Tony. I refuse to believe that these Vixen`s are in 72nd scale. There`s no way possible. It`s 1 / 1 scale I tell you. That is an incredible level of detail. I, like many others, gaze in awe and amazement. Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superb build and the RFI pictures are fabulous. Good to see them both together at last too. I see the likes (at present) are up in the seventies. Very well deserved. I'm very much looking forward to the Wasp. Regards, Pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I know it's all been said before Tony, but this really is the most impressive model I've seen in a very, very, long time. The dedication and skill show through in abundance, and thanks too for an engrossing WIP. Thoroughly looking forward to the Wasp, even though it is only a chopper. We'll forgive you.

bigbadbadge Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Totally wonderfully wicked work Tony it's been amazing to watch these two develope. You have designed produced two wonderful replicas . Good luck with your sales too. Now when are you starting the Wasp Phenomenal work Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Learstang Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Marvellous Job, Tony! It truly belongs in a museum (the same has also been said about me, although I gather it wasn't said as a compliment to me!). As one of the EDI's ('equally disturbed individuals') it has been truly informative watching you build create this wonderful little beastie!

Terry1954 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I'm a bit random in catching up on here, as I missed quite a lot when I was away in Suffolk/Norfolk last week having also slipped in a visit to the 453rd Bombardment Group museum of course, and collected some "presents" from Jim. So catching up I am ............ All my good colleagues on here have said much of what I could say, but in summary Tony I have to offer a massive well done on every aspect of this tremendous build. To design and create such beautiful models from scratch (OK I guess the liquid resin did come all ready to use in the bottle) is a feat worthy of immense praise. Letting us all watch and learn from the journey feels very special indeed. I think the Wasp is going to be a spectacular knock out! Very Happy Modelling!
