Twokidsnosleep Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Stunning testament to your skills even when your health isn't 100%She looks great in red shoes
Harry P. Posted October 25, 2016 Author Posted October 25, 2016 Thanks, Scott. I am cutting a few corners due to my not feeling 100%, but hopefully nothing too noticeable.
kpnuts Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Superb work, I hope you're feeling a lot better soon .
bobthehobbyguy Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Amazing work. Doesn't look like you're cutting corners to me. Keep up the beautiful work. The canvas top looks great.
gtx6970 Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 (edited) Under the weather or not. Your easily one of the best builders on here. I love just about every subject you take on Edited October 26, 2016 by gtx6970
b-body fan Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 If you have another disintegrating decal problem, I have sprayed the sheet with one or two light coats of testors dulcote with good results.
Eric Macleod Posted October 26, 2016 Posted October 26, 2016 This has to be the finest example of this model extant. I had a lot of fun with this one as a high school student but would love to take another crack at it as an adult. No doubt my efforts would pale in comparison to your own.
cobraman Posted October 27, 2016 Posted October 27, 2016 Looks fantastic ! Good call on the red wheels.
Harry P. Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 I finished up the top... got the framework assembled, stained and detail painted...
Harry P. Posted October 28, 2016 Author Posted October 28, 2016 I scratchbuilt a storage/tool box with hasp and lock...
Cato Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 OK now you need to scratch a 1/16 scale balloon. You already built the Sopwith bipe - how hard could it be?
Ace-Garageguy Posted October 28, 2016 Posted October 28, 2016 You really have a superb feel for color and texture, and picking out just the right details to make a part look real. That top-and-bows is an excellent example. Always a treat to watch and...hopefully...learn.

CrazyCrank Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Really amazing Harry... I'm very impressed by the rendering of the top !!! hope to reach, one day, such a level of craftsmanship ...my hats off !
Eric Macleod Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I keep looking at that tool box. It is really a work of art. I can't help wondering how a balloon gondola basket would look on the deck.
Harry P. Posted October 31, 2016 Author Posted October 31, 2016 Next stop... under glass! Sorry, no scratchbuilt balloon, though.
Cato Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 Next stop... under glass! Sorry, no scratchbuilt balloon, though. CORNER-CUTTER!
mecklm Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 Harry, another museum quality model in the books. You must tell us what your next scheduled build will be. I'm sure I'm not alone in checking the "big boys" section every day just to see what magic you are up to. Surely you have more brass era kits stashed away ready to start manipulating into another masterpiece. And, like everyone else, my thoughts and prayers go out to you in your battles. Mike

Mike Mike, thanks for the kind words.I currently don't have any plans as far as what's next, but at some point I would like to resurrect my 1/8 Pocher Rolls Royce woody. It was about half done when I put it aside due to lack of interest... that was many months ago. Maybe time to dig that one out again and "git 'er done." It's too far into the process to just give up on it.
