Hello after a long break, I was a little busy organizing the Festival of Plastic Scale Models in Bytom. It is the last photo of the workshop, the next will be longer in the gallery with a new wooden propeller from The Micro Group.
Slowly  I start a next Wingnut model, this will Fokker D.VII OAW ;)







Best Regards
Simon

Wow, Simon!  She is absolutely stunning.  One of the most beautifully detailed and finished Rolands I have ever seen.  The bar has now been set even higher.
Cheers,
Bud

Simon,
    Normally I would prattle on and on using terms like "spectacular", "stunning", and/or "beautiful". I'll keep this brief............MAGNIFICENT!!!
    Congratulations on easily one of the most impressive Builds I have ever had the pleasure to view.
Cheers,
Lance

Simon, an absolutely brilliant job you've done on the Roland, makes me feel like giving up on my build.

Cheers

Pete.
