Very cool project and beautifully put together by you. What a crazy plane - beats the Gee Bee R11 for aerodynamic insanity and that's a hard ask.
It ain't a hobby if you have to hurry.

Thank YOU all for the very kind comments :D.
In the last days I have managed to complete the model.

First I used a colour pencil over Vallejo decktan and painted the woodgrain.



After that I took clear yellow and orange and varnished the prop.



The base was made with some putty and sieved sand and gravel.



After that I put some white gue on it and applied with my DIY 8€ Grassmaster Static grass on the base, primed it black and sprayed it with various green and earth tones.







The other pics you can see in the competed models thread.
Hope you enjoied this little build log. Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.

Excellent results! You have made this awkward aircraft look lovely! I am interested in details on the DIY grassmaster. I assume it stands for Do it yourself? Is it a strainer  and Magnet of some kind? Please give some details!

Truly outstanding build.  The "Flea", figure and base are little gems.  Congrats Manni.

You've done a remarkable job on this little beasty!  All your added detail turned this ugly duckling into a real show stopper, if not a swan.
Cheers,
