Sopwith madness
« on: October 16, 2012, 10:15:14 AM »
"Smudger" Harris and his lucky Sopwith Camel ... a study in Nationalism from his Union Jack tee shirt right down to his steel toe caps. He's drawing a bead with his favourite close in weapon, a Purdey & Sons custom short double barrel named, "Turpins Key".

Like the Triplane, this is another cheap 1/48th Smer kit ....

I'm just bowled over by your work, Brent and this Sopwith is yet another masterpiece!

Love the Union Jack on the upper wing!

Y'know, I'd qualify these as art as much as a model.   If something like this were in a store, I'd buy it and display it at the office.  Your style plays into the moldings and does something unique, special, and fun.   It's great to see and we look forward to more.   Welcome aboard.

It was the "Turpin's Key" that did it. ;)

PS: Did I mention it's a really cool build? ???

It is! :)
