Good grief that's amazing!

What a great piece of work. Not sure what I like the best - the build or the photography! Full marks and a gold star for this young Ron.

Excellent as always Ron.

The build was great to follow and the final pictures are magnificent. Olympic level plane slinging if you ask me!

Utterly blown away Ron....your camera work and ‘eye for a picture’ never ceases to amaze :thumb2:

[eddiesolo]

Outstanding Ron! Superb modelling and again, your photographic artistry brings the models and the story to life, now you just need to add a stirring drum piece...you still crashing away on the bin lids?

Hi Ron, I can't stop chuckling at the thought of your apprentice chucking the four items at the precise angle and distances everytime. Its either that or you had 16 cameras to capture that one same perfect collision. We used to have half baked props just enough for our shoots and relied on camera and photoshop to achieve ad shots. Kudos to you. I'd have you as my prop maker anytime...saves a lot of time. Great photos, I particularly like image 14 and 15 as most likely taken from another Dornier in formation. But then again this was an off course flight on auto pilot. :smiling2:...hhmmm auto pilot :thinking: you had them fitted secretly? :tears-of-joy:

Cheers,
Richard

All I can say Ron, is I give you a decent kit and you just go and wreck it.
Outstanding work on both aircraft, But the photography is out of this world.

What to write?
No typed words would ever be enough to express my amazement at the positive and very flattering response from my friends on the forum to my model.

I know there is one fairly new member on here who used to regularly post nice comments on my stuff, but now, for reasons best known to him, wouldn't touch anything to do with me with a barge pole, so your kind comments more than make up for it.

Just to remind folks, there is no crafty photoshop nonsense nor superimposing the images. Such things to me are science fiction! Obviously, the wife and son chucking stuff about is a load of bo****ks and made up just for a bit of fun when I posted my finished Lancaster Bomber. Likewise the suggested use by me of millions of cameras all going off together.:upside: Just one camera used....

Si. Yes, much to the wife's annoyance, the skins are still getting a hammering!

Anyway, thank you all so much for the great posts. I loved every one of them..... :thumb2:

Cheers folks.

Ron (with a stupid, inane and immovable grin on his mush!)

The mental image of a camera rig to make the Wachowski brothers/sisters envious and a family involved enough in your hobby to humour you by throwing stuff in the air is too good, so i'll ignore one of the paragraphs above if you don't mind.

Si. Yes, much to the wife's annoyance, the skins are still getting a hammering!

Good for you, nothing like taking out frustrations by smashing those skins...better than smashing up ya models.

[Neil Merryweather]

I saw these on my phone the first time and I was totally amazed.
Now I've seen them on the PC I have to say I think this is clearly the model of the year on this forum, and will take quite some beating!
