LSP_Kevin Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 This is a really magnificent achievement, Rich! A fantastic build, and a testament to your skills and patience. I really do hope you don't stray too far for your next project! May I publish this one on the website? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richdlc Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 many thanks guys Kev, yeah of course it would be an honour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radders Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 many thanks guys thanks for the great photos Radley, shame I didn't meet you in person this year. I keep meaning to ask you to go for a drink. ps, not sure what's next, if anything. Kind of draining to focus on one thing for 2 years. I may even go back to dioramas and military stuff Get your self a nice small kit, the V1 Fi-103R I built was brilliant, maybe the new Takom V2 when it's here (with truck). Did you ever start that Invader you got last year? Do you go to any shows up north? We've got Bolton in Jan, Huddersfield in Feb.. be good to catch up.

Guest Peterpools Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Rich Brilliant, simply gorgeous; your attention to detail and realistic weathering is incredible. Just a joy to have followed your progress throughout the build. Take a well earned break, maybe spend some bench time on a quicker build and please don't stray to the dark side. Awesome work my friend, simply. :clap2: :clap2: Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airscale Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 was lucky enough to see this and be given a personal tour by Rich at SMW Impressive is too small a word to use - mind-blowing more fits the bill. Every inch of the airframe is wonderfully observed and the brave decision to paint all that metal skinning just adds a lifelike patina that just couldn't be captured any other way. Every detail is a feast for the eyes - I loved it Congrats on your award Rich, though I agree with others, I think it should have placed higher now you can forget about those sentiments of having a break from such intense aeroplane builds - that would be like Van Gogh deciding to start painting road markings...
