    Allen's WnW's WWI Halberstadt CI.II (revisited)

    Afternoon Good People,

    As the title states, I went crazy in the past weeks and finished this too. If you read the latter pages in my thread here, I had to modify/paint figs and finish carts, as well as a base. Painting figs is my weakest point in life. I can do scratchy all day long, but the figs scare me to death (that's what they look like when I'm done with them). A picture frame and a grass mat finished it off. I also took this to the show, so here are some pics of the final product,

    If you have read my "Time To Go My Friend" bi-plane GB completed thread, after I got the Silver gong, I wanted to go get a beer from the food counter to celebrate and recover from my shock. But the MC said "stay here"!!! Here's why,

    I got a Bronze gong in the same category as I did for the Hansa W.12.......Kiss my grits!!! I was so shocked, I forgot all about the beer and was weak in the knees...A P-51 Mustang snagged the Gold in the category.....

    Actually, the gong is for all of you who pressured encouraged me into completing the dio for Halberstadt. In both the build thread and in the completed thread you kept at it. Thank you all for that too!!!...

    Not sure what I'll have next on the table to play with. I do have some shelf queens that need love and I need a break from wing thingy's for a little while too.............

    Prost and still in shock

      Dude, That gong is thoroughly deserved and has nothing to do with us. It is all down to your skill and keen eye. Very well done indeed.

            Congrats Allen. Sorry I have not been around much.

            That really is looking very splendiferous, even if I do say so myself. A top, top finish and deserving of the award.

                        Youngerthanme,
                        It is about time you started to get the rewards you deserve instead of just the plaudits and likes... A well deserved medal for a well executed model build...

                        Mother says if you are really good we will now let you out of the celler and off that awful beer diet....

                            Your quite good at this aren't you lol.

                            A bronze and a silver. not a bad haul at all. Well deserved Sir.

                            A man of your talents scared of figures? Have you seen Martin Kovic AKA night shift non You tube. He has a very relaxed way of doing figures. primes them light from the top down, then dark from the bottom up then adds the colour with glazes! The bugger makes it look so easy and the figures look as good as any others I have seen.
