Taking a design from WhatIf member SSgt Baloo, I am creating a basswood carved model in 1/100. Called the Pegasus II-

It seems to be a sort of small transport or passenger jet. I'm picturing maybe a military airlift version...
Sorry, I didn't shoot photos of the early cut-out stages. More to come later...

Solidmodeler, I am veeeeery pleased to see a master of solid-model making in action. I like the smooth surfaces and the scheme you used to make the wing-fuselage fit.

Wood is wonderful. Wood is marvelous. Wood is just reconstituted cardboard (Yum!!!)

I am seriously impressed by folks who can carve wood.

Very envious of your talent, this looks like it going to be a beauty. Also cool to see drawings come to life as a 3d object.

And here was me thinking this was going to be a BSG kit, instead we get an Ekranoplan Guppy

Thanks all. I would like to say that I'm useless when it comes to working with plastic and have had a great time looking over the projects here, very inspirational and funny (I hope they are supposed to be

). Here are a few more photos...
