That is a cracking build, vac-form with scratch building.
You should be rightly proud,

It's just as I thought it would be, another little jewel. True art.
I am especially taken with the wood but more so the way you realized the fabric covering. The way you achieved the translucent fabric and incorporated the ribbing and grunge is just perfect.
As said, I think this is your new high-water mark....

Post by: lone modeller on February 06, 2023, 04:27:55 AM: Stunning - the more so as it was a vacuform.

The wood and rigging show all the hallmarks of a skilled modeller.
