Looking great. I wish I had the patience and skill to do something like this. I'd love a Horsa for my airborne brits. The Grand Manner Horsa is erm...well, lets just say it's 'interesting' to put together  :-X

Hey, I missed the new pictures. Looking great!! The interest is definitely there. Should you be also able to beat the Grand Manner price... bob's your uncle as my gf tends to say.  :D

Superb work! That base is particularly effective, not taking too much room yet being a stable support. The tree stump is a great idea, but may I suggest adding a suitably startled rabbit for some comic effect? Just keep it small and hard to notice, so it doesn´t ridicule the whole piece, but if you take a closer look, you´d get a chuckle out of it...
