Troy Molitor 4,187 Posted February 2 Share Posted February 2 Another brilliant outcome Mike. Enjoyed this one. Thanks for sharing. Gave up on the ladder idea? Save it for the next. Troy. Link to post Share on other sites
Tnarg 1,649 Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 I admire the coordination of the color of the wing camouflage with the color of the grass on the base. Maybe it was luck, but it sure looks great. I also congratulate you on spectacular creation of a replica of an aircraft engine that has perfect color. I believe those rusty exhaust and oil stains correspond to a real machine. What an amazing creation. Tnarg Link to post Share on other sites

The drift wires got in the way so I couldn't get the ladder with the mechanic close enough to the engine. Mike Link to post Share on other sites

R Palimaka 2,784 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Superb job on a model we are not likely to see built very often. All the details and finish are done to such subtle and realistic effect. The figures and setting are wonderful too!! Richard Link to post Share on other sites
