RMweb Premium Dava Posted March 30, 2015 RMweb Premium Share Posted March 30, 2015 Fantastic model. The full engineering details between the frames are modeled more accurately than most working models. I'm in awe. Dava Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 My first thought on seeing the photos was literally "F*****' 'ell, that is absolutely brilliant". To then realise it was made of cardboard makes it even more brilliant. This clearly gives the Martin Finney "Duchess" kit a phenomenally good run for its money. What other cardboard masterpieces have you got hidden up your sleeve? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonny777 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 When I read the thread title, I thought 'oh no! not another magazine part work; is it worth reading this?' Once I looked at the first photo I realised how I couldn't have been more wrong. I have to say Mirmic that your models are some of the most wonderful creations that I have seen for a long time. It is the detail that astonishes me; imagine adding all those rivets and pipework in cardboard. Congratulations on simply stunning work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
