First off congratulations on winning the award, it is certainly well deserved.
You have done a superb job scratch building this tender and trailer, the detail is excellent and the painting is extremely good, the SE.5a is a great finishing touch to the whole display, well done.

Looks great. Any chance you might have some in progress shots ? I would like to make some vehicles in 1/32 to go with the aircraft, but it seems like the kits are either old plastic from decades ago or resin only. Thank you for any information
-
Thanks for the warm welcome!
This project started out as little more than an experiment. Learning new skills, pushing my self out of my comfort zone.
I actually did not expect to be able to build it! Hence, no progress photos...
After a lot of trial and error on the spoke wheels, I was almost at the point of giving up.
When I finally 'cracked the code', finding the right material for the spokes, setting up a 'pipeline' for building the many wheels and tires (the tender has 8 wheels and tires - trailer 4 of a different kind) the rest of the build went smoothly.
This is a photo of some of the 'parts' of the build.

But I am considering, building another one, documenting the steps of the build.

Saw this on Fb already. Congratulations for winning, this is well deserved.
And yes, I would love to see a documentation on how you built your Tender.

Beautiful vehicle, Kent. Congratulations on the very much
deserved win. Awesome model, my friend!
Cheers,
Ernie :)

Really fantastic model, and interesting choice of subject.
A pity that you did not take more photos documenting it's construction, maybe next time?
Are you going to display it on a base à la Roger Hurkmans, Per Olav Lund et al?
Can I also enquire how did you make the frame and tarpaulin over the top of the Crossley?
Well done on your win Kent, it is a show-stopper of a build.

Fantastic Kent! Absolutely wonderful modeling of a fascinating subject. Very well done. ;D. Thanks for sharing this.
Best regards,
Bob

Thanks! Yes this is only the first step in a 'bigger' picture, involving two more S.e.5a's...
I've made a little sketch, for those of you, who's asking about the construction of the canvas...

Simply magnificent work, Kent. Results like this on a Scratch Built Model are indicative of some pretty significant skills, you've really shown that and more. Looking forward to the expanded Diorama when it's completed.
