Storslået! I've greatly enjoyed following along!

The base is fantastic, well done!

How did you cut the popsicle sticks?  I've tried and never could get an even cut, the sticks I had were rock hard and would splinter unevenly.

I love that base, bravo Ben!

Thank you Dubar and Zac also! 

@Dubar - I cut them with a metal ruler and hobby blade length wise(it will take a few passes). It will not be perfect, but the wood is soft so it sands easily. Use this 1 piece as a "master" to cut all the rest. Having some variation is fine since it looks more natural.
For the length I cut them with a razor saw since the hobby blade couldn't do it cross the grain.

I managed to take the final pictures today. Will upload in completed tonight

Very good, really unique. Great model making and excellent base.
Well done!
Thanks again for the explanation with the shading.

..... I recently got hold of a Dolphin - swapped it for a Pfalz D.IIIa.
Your build report was the trigger for it.

Thank you very much Paul and Bertl 

@Umlaufmotor - Oh man I would have loved to do that trade with my spare Dolphin - the Pfalz is nr 1 on my wishlist 
I'm very honored you caught the interest in the Dolphin thanks to my build log! Can't wait to see what magic you do on yours! Im learning so much from your Roland build 


Well maybe I should put that 2nd kit up for trade for another 1 seat fighter, think it will awhile before I build another Dolphin.
