Damn, that's cool! Nice work.

Coming on well Glenn. I suppose they had to truncate the Tower of Art as in "reality" it was 800 feet tall 

[Glenn]

I'm on the base of the tower at present and will be close to 24 inches in height. (196') give or take!

A view to the back passage...woops, sorry the back where the outer wall is. Sorry about that, thinking of some TV show.

Sorry about that......

Choice!   

The more I look the more it reminds me of the "knights of the nine" conclave or whatever it was in Oblivion.

Good work, mustn't let my niece or nephew see that . As they will be asking uncle Steven to build one !

Back in the dark ages, (in  the 1970's) I bought me a COMET Curtiss JN-4 balsa kit....AND FORGOT ABOUT IT!
Now, making these models, as I have more patience, feel more at home constructing them as large static models rather than flying models.
When I scaled up the Jenny, it worked out to 1/21.6 scale...almost G-Gauge but that didn't help me with a pilot. I'd had Priser 1/21 figures before.....but one has to order them and they are a tad expensive and thought I'd look around.
A couple of model PX's ago, I bought a Monogram 'Stinger 'from Sea Quest and didn't realise 'til last year, the the model is 1/20...I knew I bought it for a reason!

Better view of the pilot. Jim, at Hobbyrama did a rubber mold, and resin castings of the figure, and I modified him with a WW1 leather helmet and goggles and re-set his arms. The left on the throttle and the right on the stick. The rest of the figure was in slacks, boots and a zip-up bomber jacket..as any person would be dressed in, in an open cockpit.
He is now painted and glued to the rear cockpit.
