   Wonderful weathering and staining, and really great work on the lattice tail. Some really impressive "real model building" going on here, well done!
Cheers,
Lance

I'm still hoping one of our favourite manufacturers will bring this on the market again. It doesn't matter in what scale.

Beautiful work Arnaud!!

As much as I'm enjoying seeing what can be made from the Blue Max kit I totally agree. Although 1/48 would be nice  8)

Hello!!!

Thank you very much for your encouragement!  :)

I ended up sticking the crutch, a real " Egyptian scourge"  ;D !

And I started rigging. It is a mix between the fishing line and the EZ-Line, depending on the difficulty and the manipulations to come.

It's not perfect, and I'm a little angry about some of the details, but better is the enemy of good, so apart from a few tweaks, it's going to stay that way.







It's really a difficult model... :o


A bientôt!

Arnaud

Hello Arnaud
I agree with RAGIII, it is superb. Just remember your most savage critic is usually yourself.

I agree with Rick: there is nothing there that I can see which is anything less than excellent. Keep going - you are making a first class model.
