Looks great. How is imgpile?

Thanks Nigel, Rick & Steve

Steve
Having got a new phone, with a better camera (so hopefully better pictures), I thought I'd try a hosting site and looked at a list of the top half dozen free ones, with imgpile being recommended so I thought I'd give it a try. Within five minutes I'd uploaded an SE picture and inserted it in this thread - so it seems dead easy.

However I need to figure out where exactly my pics are being stored as some seem difficult to find - probably just early days. I also tried the 5&5a pics again just as a test and then I sent them over to Britmodeller as well to see if they'd work on their direct-post set-up, so it all seems pretty good so far - but time will tell! (In my enthusiasm I didn't dust the WNW 5a and I see now it looks as if the rigging spider is still living in it!)

Well I think we'll call it done for now.

I've still got the superb Model Cellar Billy Bishop figure to add, but I'll post him in the completed section once he's done. (Hmmm, also got a spare CSM RFC Nie17....)

Meanwhile here's a Roden 5a chopped to the earlier config of SE5 A8936 of 60 Squadron RFC before the powers-that-be made them remove the glorious blue yellow and red Flight colours.

Nice Roden kit, just needs a shallower engine sump and decent fuselage strut mountings.

That has come out really well, the scheme is really striking and the finished model looks really impressive (and quite unique). Well done, it was worth all the effort!

I still think this build log should have been written in Geeek dactylic hexameter like the Illiad 'cause it's been a true epic. I don't know that I'd have preservered in the face of such difficulties, but you did and the result is amazing. Congrats on a great model.

Great looking model. Se5 always has a nice sit.

Thank you for all your kind comments, guys.
Now I'd better get on with fulfilling the title part of this build - with Model Cellar's beautiful Billy Bishop figure.

It's a superb resin rendition and I'm not much of a figure painter, but here goes
(It may take some time!)
