Terry Walters Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Danny that is superb and totally believable. Maybe a few oil stains on the tarmac ........ Just wonderful and shows what can be done at the top end of scale builds. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Fenton Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thanks chaps, I am getting rivet withdrawal so onto the Piper Twin Apache now, a bit of glassing and we are into detailing.... oh what fun. More pics of the Chippy here. If you like any shots please add a star it helps me pick which ones to use in the future Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Day Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Even more amazing when looking at all those photos. I'd give them all a star! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McG 6969 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Absolutely gorgeous, Danny. I already 'faved' a few of your photographs. As I promised publicly on my Bella Ballerina blog, I will try some ... a few rivets on it. Unless I missed something looking at your pictures, I think you still have some 'crash protection pads' to ponder about...

Danny Fenton Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 LOL Chris you are not wrong, there are a few areas that will get looked at further down the line, there is a saying a scale model is never really finished, you just stop working on it...... Thanks for the thumps up chaps, it means a lot to me. Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Fane Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Stunning Danny,some of those extra photos really do look totally convincing. Finished - are you sure ? I seem to recall someone saying a scale model is never finished Seriously though thanks for all your help and support through this build.

Danny Fenton Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi Chaps, you are more than welcome, the gauntlet now lies with you guys to get the rest finished I have enjoyed the journey and sharing how I do stuff, I have certainly learned a lot too. I hadn't expected to post quite so many pictures though, 949 at last count Cheers Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatscoleymo Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Stunning Danny, just stunning. I bet you're well pleased with that..... Something stirred me today and I did the 1st work on my Chippy since the 22nd March......before I went off to Aus for a few weeks.....I did come back, but just never got back onto it.... Must have been some sort of voodoo message you were sending out today Danny.....get on with it to everyone... Well done and thanks for the masterclass you gave us.

Richard Steane 1 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 That's awesome Danny. With my flying skills I wouldn't dare to fly anything so brilliant. I'm still working on the wings/flaps etc and have found your photos very helpful. I'll post some pictures soon. Cheers Richard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cabbage Man Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 Now if you had only taken your time with it and not rushed things …….. seriously impressive work . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Laverick Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Absolutely brilliant Danny, if mine is half as good I will be well pleased. I was just gonna build a stock. Chippy for flying purposes, but you've inspired me, although I'm not going the whole hog, I've decided to put some effort into it. I bought some rib tapes from Mick Reeves, and I must say I've enjoyed putting them on! Iron on covering is my least enjoyable part of this hobby, but these have not been a chore. Well done on a fabulous job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
