What he does not tell you is that he only got back into the UK last night, from his latest international duty. Most of us would be languishing in our pit for the whole day.
OK, the carriage. It is a 3D printed US Stage Coach returned 60 years from 1875 to 1815. The result is very much a parade coach, (and massive for a long distance vehicle and only six horses) but who will notice?
For those sad enough to care;
Shift the front axle much further forward.
Reduce the height (scary this with a saw) by 1.5cms
Change the suspension to C Spring
Add the covered seat front and the jump seat back
Create the huge rear lamps (to cover where the sawing cracked the model)
I need to get out more. But seeing the carriage based like this and not just photo'd on my desktop is so rewarding.
Finally the other figures shown, what he has not told you is the work and imagination that went into his turning WWII airfield casual personnel into French military at rest look. His work, not mine. There should be a prize for anyone who can find the originals.
All I will say is that it ain't easy. But WWII and Plastic Model Soldier Review might get you there (Airfield Personnel)
ponders nirvana.
