This one was on the shelf of doom. Many parts lost and swearing done!

Well, it might have once been on your shelf of doom, Dave but you've certainly turned it round to beautiful effect.

Best wishes

Doom or not, swearing or not, it all came out great! What a fantastic colour scheme! And the wood imitation is very fine too. Great to see such a lovely Albatros!

You're all so kind.
This was a practice run at wood grain, with some good and bad results. Better next time.

Well I'm bliddy well impressed  - Doom or no doom, that looks pretty damn good to me. I like your little meadow base too, I must try and make time to make something of the ilk - you never know? I might just need something like it ... one day?

Very well done.

Well done wood imitation and a very nice paintscheme. Congratulations for shifting that one away from the shelf of doom. She looks beautiful.

    Great rescue work Dave, an "Albie" to be proud of! The scheme is spectacular, and it's well worthy of moving from the shelf of doom to a place of prominence in any collection.
Cheers,
Lance

Hi Dave,

I'm planning to do a bit of swearing in the future if this could help to create such masterpieces. It's a fantastic build. Stunning model and great photo's too. Congratulations.

Kind regards
