This must be an awesome set of Tiger Moths, Santiago @diamant01
Maybe something went wrong with the upload of the pictures because there are none.
Can you give it another try because I definitely would like to see them.
Hi John
Thank you very much for your comments. Yes, I do not know what happened but I think that you will be able to see them.
Cheers
They are visible now, Santiago @diamant01
What an impressive amount of Tiger Moth models, all equally beautiful.
Another absolutely awesome collection, Hrubisco Family!
Congratulations!
Thank you very much Spiros. Cheers
Impressive collection and all well done! Congrats...
Thank you very much Gary!
This is both amazing and insane...imagine all the rigging...
Thank you very much. Yes, It was insane for my father but the result was quite good.
What a great collection of models, Santiago (@diamant01). I can't imagine gathering all of the information needed to build these models, as well as building and rigging them. Then there are all the markings to create. Well done.
Thank George. Yes, to be honest, the research use to take more time than the time need to my father to make the models.
We do not build a model if we do not have at least one photo of the real aircraft.
Cheers
Santiago
WOW...that's a lotta Moths. Awesome job. Admire your commitment to meeting your objective. It's a remarkable achievement.
Thank you very much Bob. We really enjoy doing this kind of series.
Cheers
Santiago
Yikes - rigging that many bipes would have flushed my modeling mojo down the toilet! A great collection - well done!
Hi Greg.
Totally agreed. Fortunately my Father is very constant.
Cheers
Santiago
Now that’s a swarm of moths! Nice work.
Yes! Thank you!1
Ahoy Santiago,
If I built only one Tiger Moth at this level, I would congratulate myself on a job well done. I can't imagine building 51, but the proof is right here. This is an marvelous project and is nearly beyond my comprehension. Santiago, you and your father are a true modelers and what you have accomplished is extraordinary.
Hi Thomas.
Thank you very much. We do like this approach to the hobby.
For us if you see all the differents versions of schemes, markings, etc is very enjoyable.
Cheers
Santiago
Astounding!
Thank!
Well done Dad And Santiago, a lovely collection of Tiger Moths, good to see a few Aussie subjects included, I need to build one or two of mine !
Thanks Allan. Yes, of course. We try to do as much Aussie as possible.
Yes, do them!
Thanks!
