Lovely work. And can I be a bit cheeky and ask a question? Where did you get the plans for the internal structure or, was it done by eye?

Thanks,

Looking good Gregory, a great start, I've built a Hobbycraft Camel in the past as well.

Cheers

Hi Greg:
I'm really enjoying your wonderful treatment of the old HC kit - I wish I'd taken the same route with the cockpit structure your narrative and images describe - much more considered and sensible than the route mine's committed to. Guess that's the great thing about forums like this - pooled knowledge and shared experience.

Wish you well in terms of your health - I'll offer some industrial strength prayer on your behalf in that regard. In the mean time, keep rocking that Camel!


Best regards

Steve  :)

  Thanks Guy for your kindly replies to one and all. Very much appreciated.
@ Dances With Wolves, Steve the industrial strenght prayer would certainly be highly appreciated my friend. Funny thing it was your Camel project that inspired me to tame my Camel. LOL small world in deed.

There doesn't seem to be a cure for loss of mojo, you just have to wait for it to return of its own free will.

I had to stop modelling because I was renovating the new place, that was a long six months. Still, got back into things.

Hello Gregory:

Nice to see you back on this one and making excellent progress.  Your interior work is outstanding.  The stitching is definately a nice touch, the engine is as well outstanding.  I will be watching this as I have one and am keen to build it.  Your wing work is great, really coming along nicely.

Best
