Neil's Self-Sculpted 1/32 RAF Pilot-Completed

Maybe not quite perfect, but you can feel proud that it's all your own work.
Pete

Cheers Pete, yes I certainly do.
It's quite good to think that he is entirely my own creation .

Well done Neil.

Wouldn't even know where to start with something like that, so so credit to you!

Hi Neil
To do this from scratch is a real tribute to your skill and patience. It would be front and centre in my cabinet if I had done it.

Thank you Jim, very kind of you to say

Thanks Colin, I'm pleased to be able to finally bring him off the shelf of shame and contribute him to the GB

Excellent work Neil,
I honestly wouldn’t know where to begin with a project like that! top stuff :thumb2:

Wizard prang old chap.....top hole!
in respect to your post about Roger Saunders, Michael Perry (one of the Perry twins, possibly the most well regarded and prolific sculptors in the miniatures field) lost the lower part of his right arm in an accident, and relearned sculpting with his left hand. Just goes to show that talent overcomes adversity.......trouble is, in my case, lack of talent is the adversary.....

Thank you kindly, Tim.
I have heard of the brothers Perry but I didn't know that about Michael. I am well impressed.
Mind you, when you have a passion you kind of can't help yourself pursuing it somehow. I'm pretty sure most of us would find some way around a disability like that to keep on with our hobby. In fact I know of several members of this forum who have some quite serious difficulties that they overcome.
Respect to all of them.

Thanks Lee,
I used the same old horrible flock with red and blue in it, but this time I muted it with a green over spray-I'm much happier with the colour

Wonderful work Neil, as with others here, you have achieved something I would never dream of trying.
