Scalephantomphixer Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Hi FrereLeO, I just came across your posts, and I must say I had a great pleasure in reading the many pages of your building. I really like your style, and the way you enhance every part of the kit, with the help of only a few basic material: recycled aluminium cans, plastic from yogourt pots, fishing lead wire, etc. Continue the awesome job, you just added an additional fervent reader to your fans' club :( Amicalement, Pierre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wing_Nut Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Bonjour FrereLeO! I have also recently discovered your amazing work-in-progress and have enjoyed getting caught up on all of your hard work. In this day and age of easy "super detailing" with after-market resin and photo-etch sets, I can't tell you how inspiring it is to see REAL model building skills in action......my hat is off to you. Thanks to your wonderfully clear and detailed photos and explanations of your techniques, I feel like I'm attending an online class. I'm eagerly looking forward to your next update.

FrereLeO Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 Hello and thanks for your kind words. you just added an additional fervent reader to your fans' club Et pas le moindre ! Ca me touche particuliĂƒÂ¨rement, Pierre Merci In this day and age of easy "super detailing" with after-market resin and photo-etch sets, I can't tell you how inspiring it is to see REAL model building skills in action I totally agree with you. I donĂ¢â‚¬â„¢t denigrate after-market resin and photo-etch sets because the guys who made them are very talented but personally, I think itĂ¢â‚¬â„¢s more rewarding to make oneself the job.

FrereLeO Posted February 20, 2008 Author Share Posted February 20, 2008 For the nose landing gear wheel, I had the choice between a rim with pigeonhole or with a trim. (IĂ¢â‚¬â„¢m not sure of translation ) I chose the simplest even if itĂ¢â‚¬â„¢s not most aesthetic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
