Thanks Steven, Patrick, Stefan, Ernie, and Filip.
I'm flattered by the numerous and supportive responses to this Completed Build, hopefully all the lozenge work won't peel off in the next several months! It still amazes me, how far we've progressed in the past year or so. Products like perfect spoked wheels, authentic appearing lozenge material, and turnbuckles that defy the expectations of all Modellers with their accuracy and appearance take the average model a long way in the final results category. There's so much more authenticity and realism possible in our Hobby now then in the recent past, and your comments are most inspiring; I feel good about the next project. (whatever that may be!) Hopefully we'll all not lose sight of the basics and come to depend too much on the extras available.
I believe the WWI Genre has arrived in the "Big Leagues" of the Model Aircraft Hobby, the trick is to keep it there! Folks like all of you, and the tremendous talents you all demonstrate here on the Forum daily, place the confidence level very high in my mind.
Cheers,
Lance
