Don't know what I can add that hasn't already been said and deservedly so.

It is an absolutely beautiful model, Des. Your level of craftsmanship is comparable to that of a fine watcher maker or to the superb craftsmen who created Fabergé eggs.

And that you did this with a nagging back!

Absolute bravo!!!

Cheers from NYC,
Michael

I`m speachless!
Scratchbuilt models are always fascinating, but your Curtiss is so impressive filigree and has a lot of character!
It is a pleasure to behold this piece of art!
Thx for sharing and the inspiration.

And this one is yet one more spectacular feat. Absolutely marvelous.

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your progress on this excellent model. Your build logs make me believe I could do something like that too. If and when I do, this Curtiss will be the one I might attempt. Lovely model.

Des, somehow, you keep outdoing yourself!  The Curtiss is an
absolute gem.  Every time I look at the pictures, I see something
new that just astounds me.  Beautifully done, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
