Hodson, Your SPAD seat cushion and belts are really eye catching. I thought the "leather effect" was as good as it could get until I viewed your Bishop figure in the WWI figures photos you posted separately. Absolutely beatiful work! Where did the belts come from..............scratch/composite? Leather portions acrylic?
Keep those photos coming Cheers,
Officially Retired as of 20 August 2013 and looking forward to some un-interrupted bench time. Currently starting Roden's Nieuport 28 and hoping to follow that with another WNW Fokker DVII.

Nice collection Hodson: I echo Lances sentiment on the Spad cushion, seat belts. I like those Hobby Craft kits. I like your streaking on the Fokker as well.
Thanks very much folks. The SPAD seatbelt is masking tape with photoetch buclkles from a 1/35 accessory kit. Oil paints really help make leather look realistic.
The Hobbycraft SPAD is much nicer than the Hobbycraft Fokker. I have the Hobbycraft Camel unbuilt and it looks good too. I assume their Nieuport 17 isn't as nice as their more recent kits but I don't have it.
