Twice that size - 1/72.

Well, it's done - The Caudron G.III - and I'm very happy with it. The final clear coat is still drying. The rigging looks complex, but in fact it's not random. Every wire actually goes somewhere. It's funny; when I do this I tend to collect dozens of pictures. On YouTube there is a guy flying his full-size replica, at least for short hops. He says he doesn't like the feel of the wing-warping, so he only made one real flight. Still, it's an awesome thing to see.

Anyway, this is my tiny version.

And, as advertized, the resin wing is thin enough that you can see the ribs and the markings from the underside.

Now to make a place for it in the carrying case and I'm off for a night of gaming!

I was right. I am impressed.

Good work Steve!

I finally finished the ships I was working on. The British Leander class light cruisers of 1885 were similar to the Iris class of 1879, the difference being an armament of ten modern (for the time) 6" breechloading guns and an armoured deck over the engine and boiler rooms.

Your modeling skills are amazing!

You missed a portlight on the starboard quarter of the first Leander
