Phenomenal! Truly some kind of dark magic...!

Absolutely brilliant work. Do you have any work in progress pictures or a build log somewhere?

Cheers!

Hi Brad, thank you!   :D.   I’m doing a write up on the build and trying to pack as much how-to info in as I can.  I’m going full speed on a couple of Nieuports now too.  I might have a few questions about the N17s to put to the resident experts soon.

I hope you do a bomber or one of the large sea planes in 1/144. That would be awesome.

Hard to believe that your DH2 is only 144th scale - you could very easily (if you just show pictures with no scale detail) be fooled into thinking this is much larger ...........

Absolutely mindblowing, stunning work

One of the most incredible scratch-builds I have ever seen!!!! Even More so in 1/144th scale!

Thanks everybody! ;D ;D

Please let me know who is publishing your book so i can make sure i reserve a copy.

It's coming out through Fonthill Media.  Still a ways to go yet though and a few more types to make for it.

Here's a few earlier shots that were taken along the way.   :)

That’s some of the most incredible modelling I’ve seen in this Forum. And certainly the most realistic models at this scale.
Cheers,
Gary

When I go to the beach there are still lots of hunky 1/700 ship modellers, just waiting to kick sand in my face   :-[

The engine wasn't too bad.  It was the hand-scribed Lewis drums that almost did for me.  I've had bigger pieces of grit caught in my eye!
