Paddy! It's good to have back, mate. Yes, the pointy end is up front where it should be.

It's a bit late in the day, but here's a piece for all our Romanian friends!

I was all excited there was going to be another installment. :laugh:

Cracking artwork though, as usual. :drinks

Hi Chuck,

I just saw your Progress now (I was on sick leave from the Forum)...

There are no words...

Do you think this amount of Detail is doable in 1/72?

Cheers,

Alex

For him: easily! He's a Master! He may not want to given how tough 1/72 scale is to see for the average bear. Feel free to give it a try though.

Also answering for Chuck, if you were to use a stereo microscope and then use optivisers to look at it later. You have to remember the bit of "Can You See It?" I myself am a bit crazy and have skills for ultra tiny and still have an eye that can see it (with decent lenses)

But then you know me well enough by now Alex, I'm a bit crazy

Your artwork is always appreciated Chuck!

I see you still lurking around here, just wish you could give us another inspiring installment.

Never too late for a nice gesture, thanks Chuck.

1st of December is the National Day of Romania, the day when, in 1918, Transylvania was united with the kingdom of Romania, which, at the time only included the provinces of Moldavia and Wallachia.

Cheers,

Laurence

Thanks, Chris and Mike! Sorry for the disappointment! I have not abandonedthis build, just working on a very nice challenge that I think you'll all enjoy. Frankly, it's nice to have a break from posting, as the "chuk show" has been on the air for many, many years now! I'll be back!

Cheers, Gary- and thanks!

Alex- I hope your health has improved! BTW, my wife is a pediatric physical therapist, and my personal hero. 1/72? I don't see why not- look at what modelers like or own Heaven's Eagle (aka Paul) are doing with their ship builds! It's all about proper magnification, good light and patience.

Thanks, Duke- you're always too kind to an old scribbler like me! Hope your hand is on the mend!

Paul, you're waay too humble- I am always in awe of your skills and perseverance! I will be back in a few months, and I'm still lurking around- cheers!

I had you in mind when I was working on this, Laurence. The guys at Icaerodesign asked for this, and I just couldn't say no to such nice folks.
