You are right to like the figure, Sir. Very well done, especially if you have not done many before.

Those 'acorn' things in the cabane rigging are a horror to deal with. The disregard of designers for future modelers is disgraceful....

Thanks Old Man! I have done a fair amount of figures but have Never been a Master  :o I do like the results of this one... as long as I don't use Macro Photography  8) Yes they really should have thought of the Modeling challenges presented by that Acorn!

This is a great Camel! I would be happy if I could achieve such a result with my Camel (Eduard 1/48).
I also like the figure, and both together on the b/w picture! :)

It looks like you found with this build back to your mojo, and that is the most important thing with hour hobby: have fun with the builds!

I will read through your build report, since I have not yet read all (sorry, had not enough time).

Cheers,
Frank

Very nicely done Rick, and the display set up as well. I marvel at how you maintain your quality and still produce these results in such short times!
Cheers,
