Stunning work there, your father is a fine modeler.
Thank you for posting.
Stunning workmanship and photography as always, sir...but I'm curious - you always refer to "your father's builds" - do you build yourself?
Very nice group of models, particularly of this unusual type, and the silhouette photos lend a dramatic touch. I assume they're 1/72? The tail assembly reminds me of the old Matchbox series, with somewhat heavy trailing edges, but still very well presented.
Fantastic series of models, and beautifully displayed and photographed. Congratulations to you and your father.
Very nice job. I built one myself - French Navy but yours looks 1000x better than mine...
Very nice. I just finished a Classic Airframes Walrus yesterday. Will be posting here soon. Will wait a bit now, so people don't get Walrus overload... Lol.
Many thanks for all the words, about my our models, Craig, Santiago, don´t have any time for to do models, but he do the reseach for all the models and contact with many historians of many countries.
Very nice builds, like the rigging. Love the Walrus, a real forgotten hero of an aircraft.
