  1. Spectacular craftsmanship and photography as always.

  2. Such dedication to a project! I know I couldn't stay that focussed, well done!

  3. Interesting series - thanks for sharing. They seem nicely finished from what I can tell - a few close up photos of some representative aircraft would be nice...
