Johnnytodd's Entry - WW2 Japanese Floatplane Yokosuka "Glen"

[Wirelizard]

So this weekend you start on the submarine, right?

 

[Mason]

This, sir, is craftsmanship at its finest.
I doff my metaphorical hat to you.

Superb work.

I really must get around to carving and sanding my own 1/56th scale plane some day.

Thanks everyone for the kind remarks!  I haven't made a model in a few years but this contest really gets me inspired.  Already looking forward to future builds.  But for now I get to sit back and watch all the other excellent build-something projects finish

  Very slick.

Amazing!

[Vanvlak]

Stunning - and nostalgic too, I used to envy some excellent sculptors who made model ships here. 

[Bergil]

Simply beautiful. I'd have thought the submarine was a bit of a stretch though?

Bravo Zulu

[Johnnytodd]

Yes,  submarine is a bit daunting - especially for the time constraints of this contest!  Still working out the structural details.  In the meantime have moved on to another Japanese aircraft.

Very slick! Agreed, looks gorgeous in the natural wood, too!

Sorry to disappoint but no submarine. Today I made a quick stand from coat hanger wire & the cremated remains of old lead soldier corpses melted into an 8oz disc.  With some epoxy putty and paint this should look ok & support the plane :

I think this is one of the most awesome builds I have seen in a long time - love it!
