Love the Flashman front cover; you've worked your magic again with style!
Best wishes

+1 from me, PT. The model looks excellent superimposed against the book cover, that is some figure work.

Work is the curse of the modelling classes!

Manny Quinn is finished. Not overjoyed at the result, but it was a learning experience in new techniques that I tried out during the build.

I honestly wish I had the imagination to guess what (who) you are going to make each time you start a new figure, let alone the imagination and skill to actually make one myself!!

Rapid progress, but the application of paint shows up a distinct lopsidedness in the moulding of the eyes. need to sort that out!

A brief diversion whilst I go back to where it all started, 1/72 planes, this time the Hobby Boss Hellcat, although I mistakenly ordered the F-6F5 instead of the F-6F3, so I have to fashion a wee window behind the 'pit. :roll:

Cheers Gnome, I've been neglecting wingy things for a while, so this was a wee refresher course.
