Now that I see this completed along with your inspiration photo, I think "Ehh, I guess it's OK... At least he tried..." Kidding!, ;D 

It looks fantastic, James! You've really captured the essence if the photo, and your work on the model is second to none!

What a wonderful model and a really good idea. Something different and original like this is what I would like to do but do not have your skill to pull it off. Exceptional!

Hi James!!!

I said it (possibly) too many times but watching this build was highly enjoyable and very educational... Thanks for inspiring me to put more effort into photographing my models... I started loving all those little things, frames and signatures on your models and had a go myself afterwards. Simply GREAT modelling!!! ;)

james,
This has been one of the most interesting and eye catching builds I have followed in a long time! Gorgeous inside and out to say the least. Everything you have done is outstanding including the weathering. Your usage of the Aviattic linen decals and the scales is unbelievable! Just Brilliant all around. I am sure you have a MUCH better than avrage shot at taking the prize in that Group Build! Also have to say your Photography is as good as the Model!

Excellent work on both your model and dio - you have really caught the look of that scene well.

The painting alone would make this a superb build but of course there's so much more to greatly admire.
