Post by: lone modeller on April 25, 2022, 04:04:12 AM: As a scratch builder I can only admire your models. Some interesting and little known types here (therefore they attract my interest), - I did not know that two-seat Camels existed. Do start again and if possible publish more photos of these models for us to admire.

Post by: KiwiZac on April 25, 2022, 06:23:51 AM: PJ, these are all fantastic! Some are types I've never seen in model form before. I can only add my voice to the chorus: please get back into building! And if you have more photos to share of each model that would be wonderful too!

Post by: Rick_H on April 26, 2022, 08:27:54 PM: All the sepia photos look very realistic, but it takes away the fun of the color.

On the other hand, these are great inspiration for builds of a less-seen type of aircraft. Great inspiration.

Thanks!
Rick

Good point, I'll add in a color shot for each plane.

I think it would be a crime against humanity If you decide not to make more of these wee beauties. :)

Cheers,

Post by: PJ Fisher on April 30, 2022, 05:51:27 AM: Thanks for the encouragement everyone. At Rick's suggestion, I added a few color images.

Post by: WD on May 06, 2022, 11:38:26 AM: What beautiful, extensive, and talented work PJ. I do wish you'd start again, if only for my selfishness at wanting to see your work in progress so I can see your methods. I think I have that old Rosemont two-seat Camel conversion somewhere in the stash.
