Eddie R.
 I took a little off the hat,what do you think?I used a 120mm head on a 1/16th body and I found that it looked too big.

 Forget it! I think that I will just use him in the mens room.

 The head moved a bit while I was scanning it!

The above figure is a combination of 120mm Model Cellar figures.The body is an extra Eddie R. figure that I had and the head is from a Manfred von R. piece.
I am converting the whole thing to a RFC pilot.I removed the emblems from the collar and from the hat and will replace them with the RFC type.The head will be glued down slightly lower than shown. At present I am painting and weathering the portable gas/water mobile unit.I will post a pic when it is finished.

Well thank you very much,it is very nice to hear from you.I really am having a lot of fun with this.It is a wonderful way to spend my retirement years.Nothing like art to keep you young,it is almost like having a second childhood.
Cheers! John.

The above 2 pics are of the under and topside of the unfinished R/H wing assemblies.
The wingtips of both wings have been damaged in an accident.I made no attempt to tighten the fabric covering as i was afraid to distort the underlying delicate wing structure and anyway the wings would have been overstressed due to the accident. I made no attempt to feather-in the rib tapes as it would be a waste of time due to their placement up against the hanger wall where they will only be seen across the hangar floor in dim light.The access holes and any portions that I decide to expose will be fitted with drag and anti-drag wires etc...and the whole thing needs more weathering.I plan to build only the R/H set of wings as the others could have been damaged beyond repair and sitting in a future junkyard out back of the hangar.
