There's just too much good stuff going on to really comment on any of it. It's well worth every second of the four years you invested. David G. Thanks David ! I myself sometimes have a hard time remembering everything I did on this model but the 4 years went by so fast that it's hard to realize now that the project is completed. I can't wait to see what people think when it's shown in real life at future exhibitions, it's hard to do justice to all the details with a camera ! First test in October !!! 😊 Francis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy D Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Hello Francis, Very happy for you that you have finished this masterpiece, but very sad that the journey has ended. Always went to your build thread to become inspired!!! You really show with your builds what is possible in scale model building if you have patience and enormous amounts of skill!!!! Look forward to your next project Sir. Randy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claude Thibodeau Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 HI! As projected, on oct. 16th, Francis won the first place in "competition" class at the Québec model show (Exposition amicale de modèles réduits). The showgoers and fellow modelers were in awe of the detailing and execution on the model. It should be featured in a well known publication in the coming months. Bravo to Francis! Keep them coming, my friend. Such quality is good for the soul of the fellow model lovers! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
