Sopwith Camel and base
« on: August 13, 2014, 05:01:43 AM »
Hello all

I've finally managed to complete a base for my Camel.

I've gone down the 'worn' airfield look...hope it works...I just need to add some chocs!

I have missed your Camel, great I can see it now with the base. Fine modelling all around, but some more photos would be welcome!

The base sets of your excellent Camel a treat!

Well, not much to add except that this is one of the nicest Camels in its natural environment that I have seen!

Nice work, Allan! It's like I can smell the fresh earth and rich mahogany from here!

That is just beautiful, Alan.  Your Camel turned out very well and the base looks marvelous, very much like grounds that have seen both heavy weather and mechanical abuse. Excellent work!
