Very impressive wood work Ondra! As always it is hard to believe the results you get on such a Tiny subject!

I'd like to see the wood grain on that!   ;D

Looks good in this scale as it is.

This build is the gift that just keeps giving. Just when I thought it couldn't possibly get even more impressive it gets more impressive. So looking forward to seeing the next update!

Ondra, you are doing it again. Impressive level of detail and modelling skills on that tiny plane.

This model is totally unreal - such a small scale and scratch built - I'm very impressed.
Skills way beyond mine,

As amazing as ever, Ondra!

Many thanks to all of you for your generous comments, they are a major encouragement to me!

After a rather long break caused by workload and lack of modelling mojo, I am back at the workbench working on the Camel, so here a few pictures of status quo:

Where did you find the giant with such big hands?

Looking good! Glad to see you are still at it. This has been an amazing build to follow.

Many thanks to all of you for your kind comments, as always they are highly appreciated!

I had to wait for the oil paint to cure, so here a brief update on the current status. I put a thin layer of VanDyck's brown over the light reddish base, the effect looks quite interesting.




Cheers
