bad news is unfortunately due to ongoing health problems I have had to shelve this project... I was finding it too much to try and do this and my Steam Train work which pays the bills.

The good new is this... Craig from Classics Hangar has very kindly taken this project on to complete it (http://www.sim-outhouse.com/sohforu...5-Classic-Wings-new-website&highlight=website). We all know and love Craigs work so thats good news indeed. Watch this space.

Thanks for the hu Matt. Sorry to hear about your health issues and hope things improve for you. Good to know Craig has taken up the project and look forward to seeing the finished design.
 
I've been enjoying flying an untextured version of the model this week that Craig supplied me and I must say I think your going to like this when its done. All that work I put into detailing the model really shows up well..... that Clerget spinning round with a propellor on really gives a sense of Torque and weight.... When Craig gives me the ok I'll show you some pictures.

Superb detail and texture work, Craig! I've been very much looking forward to watching this one continue to develop. Check Tesco Offers and Lidl Offers. It's cool to see the textures taking form on the cowling, prop, engine, and guns - really coming to life against the backdrop of the rest of the aircraft which hasn't yet received such attention.

Craig.. I could really use those gauges. ::lol:: PM me..
Oh and yeah everyone.. Paul and I are doing the flight model for this :)... Stay tuned. we're making it as real as possible..
 
Thanks peeps ! here is the Camel pretty much finished apart from a few historically correct paints, I added some numbers and squadron marks just to give me an idea of what it looks like.

Wow, that looks good Craig!! Here I thought it was going to be several more weeks before we saw it looking so complete! The more screenshots I have seen the more I can appreciate the accuracy in the lines that Matt was able to capture, and the entire project looks superb - a very refined look about it!
 
Beautiful detail! You would be hard pressed to tell it from a real world photograph. Seeing creations like this keep me going on my own work in the hopes that one day I can do as well. :salute:
