  1. Outstanding work! I love your skills in portraying linen surfaces!

  2. David @mentaldental, i wish i could build models like this. Incredible!

  3. Fantastic job, David! I'd go with the light blue background.

  4. This is an excellent result, David @mentaldental
    It goes perfectly together with the base.
    Personally I do prefer the brighter background.

  5. Brilliant modelling David. I think the lighter background projects the colours and build to perfection. ๐Ÿ‘

  6. Nice model as usual.

    Hit "brighten" in Photoshop for all the photos with a blue background, and you'll have a winner for looks.

  7. David @mentaldental, this just another beautiful example of your work. I was a local club meeting today and one of the guys and I were talking about posting on iModeler. We couldn't remember your name but both agreed your builds are on that next level that we strive for but never achieve. Well done.

  8. A great looking model David, you set a very high standard . The light blue is the go.

  9. Beautiful work, David.

  10. Cheers gents

  11. Absolutely stunning museum-quality modeling. Showing us how it's done!

    I seem to be the minority: I like the dark background.

  12. Beautifully done as always!

  13. As always, absolutely gorgeous.

  14. Thank you gents๐Ÿ˜‰
