Royboy 1,058 Posted July 18, 2019 Among several others I saw the WIP two years before @ another Telford Show. I must agree a very worthy Grand Champion Winner and a stunning model! 2 airscale and Pascal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monthebiff 6,103 Posted July 18, 2019 Peter's work is amazing and seeing No.80 at Telford was truly inspiring. His work has certainly made me think and stretch myself at times and try doing a few scratch built bits and pieces but he makes it look just so easy. The other aspect of his work that I love is when all of us mere mortals are posting replies to one of his updates saying how very fine it is and next thing we know he has ripped it all apart and done it all again as he was not quite 100% happy with his work. Long may he continue with the wonderful work he shows to us all. Regards. Andy 5 Phartycr0c, Lothar, Out2gtcha and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Out2gtcha 32,860 Posted July 18, 2019 Not to mention Peter is just a plain good human being, an upstanding chap, and a good egg all around. One of the most generous people (with his time and knowledge) I have ever had the pleasure to interact with. 5 airscale, Pascal, Phartycr0c and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
airscale 10,780 Posted July 19, 2019 that's incredibly kind of you folks - I am humbled, thank you I got talking to Marvin Meit over at Model Motorcars about needing a light lens for my 1/18 P51 wing landing lamp which they do for the big Pocher car kits and he wanted to see what I was working on - in the course of that, Race #80 came up... next thing I know, he wants a feature on it - so there we go - what a privilige Thanks again Peter PS - I will tell him again it's a Spitfire lol 4 TAG, Out2gtcha, Pascal and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phartycr0c 2,466 Posted July 19, 2019 Never get tired of seeing this model. Its a masterclass in miniature modelling. The article represents very well the work that has gone into this.
