Methinks the F-84G is starting to become pleasing to one's eyes.

Most definitely.

I concur with the pleasingness.

Indubitibly my friend, it is a sight pleasing to behold

I'm pretty sure that there are projects going on that are not part of any group build or any started thread. Still I think it would be interesting to show those projects that are waiting to see again the light of day. Now that I have my shop back, daughter finally moved out, I can show what I've started and hopefully get them finished. My current project is a Sopwith Camel, 1960's kit. I remembered this kit and was surprised when I found on for sale at a train show. Of course I've added my own touch to it. Not like you model masters out there, but I like to tinker. Not a photoetched part used.

The weave was simplified by a type of sun blocking screen we use here in Texas. The seat was originally one piece of ugly plastic. I cut out the lower section, pasted some screen and copper wire, painted it and this is the result.

I'll add fuel caps later. At first I was going to use regular thread, but I cut them off when they started getting fuzzy. I have a spool of EZ line I'll use later.

The wooden parts are real wood.

Hope you like.

I do like it

All the gauges, as well as the metal around the fuel tanks, were made using a multi-sized hole punch and the foil found around some wine bottles. I used wire for the tensioning wires you can see on the sides. Aluminum from a yogurt container was used for the seatbelt.

The metal behind the engine and along the firewall is foil duct tape. Just need to dull it a bit and it should do nicely. Another project I'm working on is the Vietnam Memorial statue called, The Three Servicemen. I'll post where I am with those later. My goal with it was to make the bronze statues come to life.

Thanks for moving the thread. I couldn't remember the name, and couldn't find it anywhere.
