Sandbagger Hotshot Joined: Dec 2000 Posts: 7,064 Coningsby, Lincs, UK	Hi all, Today the 'Model Cellar' figures finally arrived from The States, so they've been painted now. I'm just waiting for the display case to arrive, hopefully tomorrow. Then I can wrap this one up and post the completed shots, Mike Alienware Aurora R5 Windows 10 64 bit Intel i7-6700K 4.2Ghz Two GTX 1080 Foundations in SLI (8 Gig each) 32 Gig DDR4 2133Mhz 1TB SSD boot drive - 1TB SATA storage drive 5.1 Surround Sound 34" Dell Ultra Sharp U3415W (3440x 2440) CH Pro-Pedals, Stick and Throttle TrackIR-5 Pro

"A great deal of an aeroplane could be holed without affecting its ability to fly. Wings and fuselage could be—and often were—pierced in 50 places, missing the occupants by inches (blissfully unaware of how close it had come until they returned to base). Then the sailmaker would carefully cover each hole with a square inch of Irish linen frayed at the edges and with a brushful of dope make our aircraft 'serviceable' again within an hour."

I would need months ... for the first try ; then months for the second . With the third I would get it probably (roughly 1 year later) And all your models on side 2 … great! Greetings and go on!

And if the parts don't get delivered on time, he starts the next one before he's completely finished with this one. Wonderful work as usual Mike. Thanks for letting us watch the work progress. I must say, the wood decals really came out especially well. In the pictures, the lighting/coloring between adjacent boards make it look like you fitted the wood slats individually. i7-7700 @ 3.6GHz, 32GB DDR4 RAM, SSD (OS) + SSD (Games), GTX 1070 Ti, Acer Predator Z35p 3440x1440 GSync
