Completed Iron Brigade

[David Spencer]

I had exactly the same problem and solved it with a rock just as you did. Don't know why it happened because the shoulder fit was tight. Maybe the original base (which I didn't use) had a high point for the butt.

That's interesting. Mine didn't have a base supplied.
The arms aren't a great fit, which is a mistake when that is clearly an important consideration.

I hope the glue sets and holds the wrist in place

That really is very stunning, well worth the time and hassles, love it.

Cheers Simon

Thanks

 

[David Spencer]

That'll do.
I daren't add any more highlights, for fear of making it look tatty.
Will try and get some decent photos together that show the tones properly, since this phone ain't the best.

You don't need to add anything that is pretty damn perfect, even considering phone pictures.

Cheers Simon

Many thanks
I thought the tea towel came out nicely, in the background.

Next up is a rest, whilst this damned concussion wears off.
I'm too bloody tall for normal houses.
The odd thing about finishing a project is the gap it leaves; first thing in the morning for me.

Agree there , David’s done well on this often with a lot of issues which I found surprising from FeR

Very close to finishing now

Looking forward to seeing more

That's it. No big fanfares, just a running-out of things to do.

Hurrah for the Union!

Agree a V bench with a difference

Why not support the competitions with this nicely completed piece

Look forward to seeing more

Thanks both
Next is a break, and then I will probably build the Nieuport 11, because the conservatory will be cold and early mornings dark.

Very nice result, that looks great. It all seemed to come together quite quickly at the end......

Oh yes... at last, some cognitive clarity is starting to return.
Mind your heads, folks. Concussion is a total b!st!rd.
