Thanks James,comments like that makes it all worthwhile.
Realizar una maqueta tan detallada y real sin partir de un kit de piezas es ...¡¡¡ Increíble !.
Me he quedado de piedra.
Sería muy interesante que publicaras fotos de la realización de las distintas piezas y detalles
de construcción al estilo de Tom Grigat ( ver en YouTube ) ... sería el no va más.
Gracias por tu articulo Derek,he disfrutado mucho con esas fotos.
Thanks Julio.A translation in English would help.?
If I may...
“To make a model so detailed and realistic without the pieces of a kit is incredible! I am doubfounded.
I’d be really interested to see a build in progress to see the details of each part in the style of Tom Grigat (see on youtube) that you can’t see now.
Thanks for the post, I enjoyed it a lot with those photos!”
Have to say that I wholeheartedly agree with Julio!

Thanks David.My thinking is,if it’s on the real thing it must be on the model. I know that’s not always possible,but if you can see it,make it. Thanks again.
It’s beautifully done, Derek.
This is amazing work, fantastic.
Thanks Marc.
That is absolutely mind-bendingly impressive
