Forgive me Gregory, but I have joined the forum since you started this and this is my first look at this project, which I have now read from the beginning. This would not disgrace WNW in standard, and I'll bet that it will be as good as any made by other modellers when the WNW kit is released. Excellent modelling craftsmanship all round - very many congratulations.

A wonderful Camel. You even beat WnW to the finish  ;)

Regards
Russell

 Many thanks Russell and much appreciated my friend. LOL beat WNW to the finish but I 'd imagine it took longer to complete that WNW Camel been in development.

Greg,
     I must have been away when you finished this beauty, apologies for the delay in commenting. Spectacular work, old Buddy, as many have commented here it has that WNW "aura" about it! Nice to see I'm not the only one who enjoys a foray into the joys of the older, simpler Kits; you've taken this one well beyond it's limitations and your talents are all over it!
Cheers,
Lance

Your camel looks awesome old buddy. Very nice in everyway especially considering it is the old tool hobbycrap kit. The newer ones are definitely less work. I like you also like the task of the journey more than a shake and bake wingnut kit. As its more fun gives you more bang for the buck not only in price of kit but amount if of time to build means you get a longer amount of pleasure per dollar. Plus it takes a true modeller to make an oldie like this pop so nicely

An absolutely beautiful result to a really difficult kit, Gregory! My real admiration in fixing all those problems with this kit and ending up with such a stunning model! I do love it - the rigging is really good and the whole model shows a master's touch! Regards, Marc

Hi Gregory, that's a truly great job on a pretty lackluster kit.  A very high standard indeed!

  Many thanks my friend. My Camel project sure would have been easier if I'd used the new tool HobbyCraft Camel. But all and all I'm pleased with how ended up regardless of the kit I used.
