The Mango Kid Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Amazing work Brian, I'm actually quite stunned All the best, Kristoffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsarnoffca Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Wow Brian, just amazing. I love the way all the panels pop off so the internal details can be seen. I've been thinking that I've been a member of this site for a few years now and have seen some really impressive builds but when you add up the parts....detail, scratchbuilding, decal application, painting, shading and weathering this is the best model I've ever seen. Sets a new level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PietvWdV Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Top notch Brian. Very very inspiring. I cannot wait to see this one on it's base. Absolutely stunning stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P-40 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Great looking model and such a realistic paint job! I can’t wait to see it on a diorama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Brian, that is a true master piece. BZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hannover - Germany Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Brian, i´m out of words for this! Really beautiful work. I wished i could build like this. The canopy turned out superb and the weathering is spot on! Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob clements Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 If this Corsair is a 'Masterpiece' ... we need a new word for 'Masterpiece' ... 'Masterpiece' goes nowhere near summing up the sheer quality of Brians work .... Im not prop fan (haha), as such, and know very little about them .. words fail me. If he was Carlsberg, they would have to change their advert from 'probably' to 'definately'!!! If I had my hat still, it would be off to you Brian! Rob.

John Reid Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Hey Brian! This build deserves more than a base.Please consider doing a full diorama .With your talents it would be a "piece of cake". Cheers! John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy915 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 How about some more pics,truly outstanding work. Enjoyed the whole build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Mike Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Brian, watched this build for a while. Then I read Carrier Clash, which details the Solomons carrier battles, in and around Guadalcanal. There is a vets dialogue describing re-filling Corsairs with 12 quart pails, straining the gas through chamois skin. Every tank. Every mission.Every day. Hand pumped from 55 gallon drums. The european(theatre) guys should read some of this stuff! I have no confusion or doubt whar-so-ever regarding your weathering, stains and general wear! Those that do should look up the book by Mr. Eric Hammel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee White Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Incredible craftmanship.... i look at this stuff and think, "Howdedodat?" Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSP_Matt Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 I'm a bit late Brian but also had pretty much run out of superlatives. I especially loved your petrol staining...that just made it go beyond weathered but come alive for me instead...amazing. Oh...and I met a Joe Cauchi over in Melbourne the other day...he reckons its not such a common name on Malta so of course I asked him if he was related... the other side of the world and I think I've found one of your relatives.... cheers Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironwing Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 Brian, Ive been quietly watching this thread. Your work and attention to detail is stunning and your skill with paint is just as good. Remarkable job. Just plain remarkable. Looking forward to seeing more of your work... Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcauchi Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 I have yet to put up pics of the complete plane and base but this shall take some time. I am completing some figures to accomapny the model. The base is done but the figurres are not. You shall see some more photos eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
