That looks great - fantastic result and a difficult subject with all that rigging!

Congratulations on completing an absolutely sublime model, Lance!  Your
workmanship is inspiring and the DH build log is a perfect tutorial for
those of us yet to tackle the beastie.  Thank you for sharing your
talents, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

   Thank you all, my camera seems to have hidden some of the faults that I know are there rather well. I've learned a lot from being a member here and sharing, learning, and enjoying other's results brings a lot of pleasure to the Hobby for me. It doesn't get much better then positive and complimentary feedback from others whose work you are in awe of! :)
Cheers,
Lance

WOWZERS...that is a machine to be proud of.  Looks like you could jump right in and take off to find MvR... ;)

Lovely.

Excellent work, Lance, and a beautiful result. Time for a break, and then you can start considering the Felix...NOT!  ;D

Hello!

I don't dare build this plane, the rigging is pretty scary. This is wonderful!

Warts and all, I love it (although i fail to see the impact from Aviattic's linen decals).

Please don't wait too long for your second DH2 - otherwise you might have forgotten all the traps you mentioned  8)

Dan, Gary, Naimbs and Stefan, thank you for the comments. Naimbs, if you take a look on the Bob`s Buckles Site under Tricks the rigging tutorial by Tim West is there and really makes a lot of sense by breaking the task into many stages. You still need to look at  reference photos but it isn`t as hard as it appears.
Cheers,
Lance

That is superb.
I got some photos of Hawkers medals at Hendon last week. I'm still up in York, but today we went to the royal armouries in Leeds, where they had in a case a Lewis just like this. I have the Gaspatch ones at home, with the casings bag. The corrugations in the bag are made by a wire frame, but it's on the outside, so each corrugation has a black metal wire along it. I'll post the pics next week.

Thanks Prze, coming from a Modeller of your talents I am indeed complimented! 8)
Dave, Thanks, and I really would like to see the photos. that's a Gas Patch on this Build, and they really provide an outstanding product! I thought wire frame, but assumed the inside of the bag.
Cheers,
Lance

She's a real beauty Lance.

If mine (if I ever get back to it) turned out as nice I'd be well proud. Like we all know, you the artist knows the flaws others don't see. Overall she is an impressive piece of work and the only thing I might suggest is to dirty down the rocker assemblies on the engine. IMHO that is and only a thought. But you know me and grimy engines.  :D

A weath of info for anyone else attempting this kitset too.
