Shooting the breeze

I love the concept of this but putting all that effort into something that doesn’t fly and is never really finished kills it for me. The wood is obviously laser cut which helps. I remember hours carefully cutting out wing ribs that were just printed on to sheet balsa to build gliders. I used to build a glider called a Keil kraft dolphin, I hate to think how many I built but they flew superbly, and a quick search shows they still make it 60 years on 😊 I remember I used to use a large cork mat we had in the bathroom, much to mums annoyance, to pin the parts flat 😊..they gave you like a 2” cube of balsa to carve the nose which i never got symmetrical.

As for this camel ? I would love to build it but I don’t have the bench space or anywhere to put it when done even though this is 1/16 and most of these are 1/8

What do you guys thing ? does It appeal?

I did see a guy that built one of these and covered it with tissue paper etc and painted it but like all models you just cover up all the work.
 
Would be breezy in there wouldn't it?
When I was young the cut away drawings fascinated me, always thought a cut away model would be neat to do. IF I were to ever do one of these that's how I would display it.
