Robert Podkoński
I will follow this talent show with pleasure.

gorby
Lovely work.

Michael Kohl
Surely another build that will leave me speechless and striving to come closer to this level.

F_IV
Omg thanks everyone. You guys are the best! I'm interested to see how this one comes out. I'll add more progress soon. 🤞

I like old planes from the early days of aviation. Your scrathbuild is fantastic. I admire how you can render all the little details in this scale. I wish you continued success in building this model and look forward to the sequel.

Bruce Huxtable
Your talents are beyond my comprehension.... Totally amazing scratch building 🙂 This little gem is already gorgeous🙂

Shar Dipree
Great work so far! 👍👍👍👍

bughunter
Another great little bird in that microscopic scale 👍

F_IV
Added a new pic. Starting on the cockpit details 👌

Bruce Huxtable
More micro-perfection. Astonishing 🙂

Michael Kohl
By the way: will your book be available in Telford in November?

F_IV
Hi Michael, I'm not sure. It should be out by then but I don't know if any sellers will be stocking it. I live in Australia unfortunately, so Telford is well outside my maximum range 😢

F_IV
Added the large control wheel to the pilot's cockpit from soldered wire and heat curved sprue. I like the little brass hub in the middle 🙂

Skyhiker
You seem to have really good control over your soldering. What tools do you have? That control wheel is impressive.

gorby
The many years training to be a jeweler probably helps. 😄

F_IV
@Skyhiker I have an inexpensive soldering iron from an electronics store. It is nothing special, but the best thing I have is liquid soldering flux. Using that allows the solder to grab the surface and stick without requiring too much heat or flooding the area with solder.

@gorby Being a jeweller helped at first. But now I am finding that the modelmaking is helping me be a better jeweller! 👍

Alec K
Outstanding work! The book is on order 👍
