Des, I keep wondering how you can top such-and-such a model, but you manage
to every time.  Absolutely stunning craftsmanship.  It is a joy to follow along with
your builds, my friend.  Thanks for giving us the privilege! 

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Truly breathtaking, mate!  I can't say this is your best yet when she keeps company with such exquisite stable mates as your Voisin, Cauldron, Taube and Spinne, but sure as hell can't see how you could top her.  So, what's next?
Cheers,
Bud

Des, seeing more photo's of this completed jewel, I'm speechless of admiration. This is modeling from another world. This model should be exhibited for the whole world. I'm looking forward for your next incredible build. Can't get enough of it. Many many congratulations!

Kind regards

Thanks very much for all the very kind comments, they are much appreciated.

This will not be my last scratch build but for now I will be getting back to reducing my growing stash of kits, just gotta decide what to build first  :-\ :-\ :-\
