I don't know what to say!!! I have been following your build in the paper modeler group. I wish I knew how you do it. I hope some day my skills can be at your level.
Do you work off of prints, photos? How do you get the scale that you are working at? Sorry for all the questions, just want to learn as much as I can.
Keep up the great work.
