Coming together nicely, Richard.  Are you managing to build two at one time? (this and the Cirrus Moth).

And a Roland C.II. It's handy to have something different to do when you get stuck on one project, or you really should let the paint dry...

The Nieuport seems to be taking most of the time at the moment, followed by the Cirrus Moth

Simply gorgeous, Richard  :o Scratching of the highest order.

I'm super jealous of your watchmakers lathe. How does one find such a treasure?  I want one!

You have to become obsessed, trawl Ebay for months then accidentally stumble across a bargain

Well, that's how I did it anyway

That's a great looking build, Richard.  Nice to see it done.
One question - do you know why the leading edge of the wings are notched at the roots (at the fuselage)?

I don't know for sure. The only thing I can think of is to do with the crew climbing up to the cockpit from the float. The wing is cut back to the spar, so that would avoid breaking off the leading edge by standing on it

   Beautiful model Richard, I am always in awe of a well done Scratch Build and this is certainly in that category. A unique subject and one of a kind miniature  replica, what's not totally impressive?! 8)
   The watchmaker's lathe is truly a treasure as Bob has termed it, I too would love to stumble across one, well done!
Cheers,
Lance

Simply wonderful piece of scratch building. That is an unusual subject but you have brought it to life in a most interesting manner. The build log was interesting and instructive - very helpful indeed. Modelling of the highest order.
