Redshift Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Hiya Here are some snaps of my latest wood fiddling, a 1/48 Supermarine S.6b. This one took a bit of doing, the fuselage took three goes and the wings four. Which is odd, as its not that complicated a shape. Anyway, I reckon about about 40 hours of work to produce this: Thanks for watching 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It came from old reclaimed library bookshelves saved from a skip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

georgeusa Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 That is some superb wood skills and workmanship. And, you did it from a reclaimed wood source. I am also surprised it only took you 40 hours to carve out and shape the wooden pieces. If I were to do it, you would have to add at least another 0 to the end and the outcome would very much fall short of what you have produced. Thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
