Hi,
This is picture heavy of a commissioned build that has become a wonderful experience for me. It exercised all my knowledge of scratchery and eyeball pain but was worth it. Now I have the pain of delivering it after this photo session. Enjoy the pictures and if you want to see the actual build, hop over to here.

Here are the first twelve images.



Another set of twelve more to come.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi Richard
That is superb. A great deal of planning and skill went into this. I am sure the commissioner (if that's the right word) will be more than happy with your work.

[Si Benson]

Superb stuff Richard, so much detail and so small!!
top job sir

 

[rtfoe]

Thanks Si, missed your post as I went directly to bed after the my last posting.

The references gave influence to the amount of detail that I had to either execute or turn a blind eye. I'm happy I tried to fit them all. Small means less to put in...if it was a 1/350 scale version I would have more of a head ache accurising the detail . :smiling2:

Cheers,
Richard
