Magnificent job with the rigging, James!  Really brings this beauty to life.

I think you've created one of the most realistic looks to rigging & CDL I've ever seen. Well done James!
Cheers,
Gary

Thank you all, well last night I started work on the final pieces and hopefully they will be finished by the end of Saturday. Then weather permitting I'll get the final portfolio shots taken and posted in the finished gallery.

James,
Incredible work all around. Beautiful execution of painting, decaling and rigging!

So I finished the B.II today, I will probably add a few of the props that come with the kit once I have a base prepared for her. The weather was very overcast today so I appologise for the poor photos. Once the sun comes out I will take some proper portfolio shots and hopefully some scenic ones as well.

Exceptional even by the world class standard we see from many models on this forum - or elsewhere.

Truly superb in every way, James!  There's something about wood and fabric that stirs my soul and your renderings of the two are among the best I've ever seen.  Congratulations on another exquisite model.
Cheers,
Bud

She is a beauty, James.  Thanks for sharing this build with us; I thoroughly enjoyed following along.

James, I just looked up from my Lotus 49 project at your Albatross B.II. I don't know what to say! On this Forum of Giants, your B.II is simply the best work that I've seen. Your skills as a photographer are as remarkable as your modeling skills! I'm jealous, of your riding in Japan. I would be terrified. There are plenty of thrills right here on the West Coast for me and my big Honda Shadow. Ride safe!

I couldn't agree more with Bud.  Absolutely sublime, James, my friend.

Cheers,
