Hello Des,
This build was and is pure magic. Still can't believe that human hands can produce such a beauty. In all humility i take my hat off!
Kind regards

I know that I'm saying nothing original Des, but this is a magnificent piece of work.
People talk of museum quality, but there are museums and museums. This model would grace the finest.
Best wishes

Here's my effort, a Blériot XI-2 'Artillerie", again scratchbuilt, but in 1:72 scale. This was my first foray into the world of scratchbuilding...
Here's the full build log:

For your first scratch build this is amazing, and to do it in 1:72 scale is even more amazing, brilliant result Ian.
