I've been procrastinating with finishing this one.
Needs wheels and some more rigging.

Very, very nice -

The wood painting and wing shading look excellent - let's see her fully completed, mate!

Got to say it - That is one of the best D.VI's I've seen to date.
Looking forward to seeing her complete.
Cheers,
Bob

Thank you all very much for your kind words about my Roland.

I truly value your encouragement and find a great sense of camaraderie in our shared passion for WW1.
My current approach is to enjoy my models and their making like a bottle of fine Australia wine, that is to say, don’t rush them.
When finished, the Roland will be photographed by a pro and shared with you all on the forum.

Kind Regards
Steven
