Great model. Compliments

 

I can't stop thinking how huge that model is Is that an adult chair on the left of that picture? :)

Wish I had the place to display it, I'd be all over this.

 

Fortunately that chair on the left is a kids chair! However, she's still quite large. Wing span of a little over three feet. I have no idea where I'll store her. I had hopes of a glass top coffee table, but that might not be feasible right now.

Dennis,

 

MAGNIFICENT! It has been a genuine pleasure to watch this inspiring build. I’ve learned a lot from it, and I hope to achieve a result half as good. One thing that no one can match: you’ve done your family heritage proud!

 

Sincerely,  Tom

Put it in a perspex box and hang it on a wall.

Awesome bird! What parts did you scratchbuild?

 

I scratch-built all the drive motors for the chin turret, parachute packs, some of the innards underneath the cockpit floor visible through the front crew hatch, and individual crew dinghy's. Nothing too crazy :-)

Congratulations Dennis!

 

that is one veeeeeerrry nice looking Fort. I’m super impressed at how neatly you joined that turtle deck on. 

 

You should be very happy with this!

Thanks Craig! I found that some trimming of the mating surfaces to reduce the size of the flanges did the trick there. She fit basically like a glove; just the typical filling and sanding and she blended right in without any issues.
