Great stuff mate. I made the odd Airfix/Ravel model car/boat/plane in my time and succeeded (mainly) in gluing my mother's table cloth to the table. These are wonderful, and such detail. What are you going to do with them? And why this particular theme? Anyway, lovely little works of art.

Started doing model figures again after a 40 year absence, big learning curve as different paints now. On my fourth now, a WW2 Soviet pilot a "Night Witch" and getting better I think. Any advice from modellers on here?
I never saw anything like those before. They are excellent. Really nice work.

You are quite the artist like so many other fine scale modelers. How you manage to get that perfect texture, gloss & color is amazing. The images holding your work give a good sense of scale.

Outstanding detail! It takes patience and a steady hand to get the results you've achieved. I do 1/24 scale model cars, and use an airbrush. For small details I use a very fine hand brush, but nothing like the attention to detail that your hobby requires.

Cool.
If you want more realism, look into your details, example; Cloth is not glossy...

Thanks, the third one in oils is a bit to shiny, need to use matt varnish to tone it down.

Thanks, just have them in a display cabinet. I don't have the room for anything bigger!
