The model is finished!

Well it is no more a Glider PG-47 but an autogyro-glider GAG-47 (in French "gag" means joke)...
I should not say "it" but "she", and yes, she has blue eyes... this is not the scanner's fault (for this detail).
[Next month a better view, with camera]

Wow you never fail to take it to a completely new level, Tophe! I love the tail mounted rotor! While it appears whimsical, it also makes me think "Hmmm you know, this could work!"

Another magnificent display of your modeling skill, mon ami!

For a moment, I thought that was an ultra-sound image of your new baby. In a way, I guess it really is your new "baby".

Yes, mon ami, please do go on and on and on!!!

Brian da Basher

Me too!

BTW: Awesome project!

Thanks! The model is finished, but I wait for the camera, which should come back in April.

My (wife and son and) camera have arrived, but the camera is broken  :(, and repairing it is more expensive than buying a new one  :(. It is ordered, arrival scheduled on April 12th...

I have received the camera, but it doesn't work without memory card (not available in my small town). I have ordered one. Arrival scheduled for April 15th. Sorry.

The card arrived. I am not yet good at operating the camera and the picture is blurred but this is better than the scanner I hope.
