Ah I remember Mikael's build with great fondness, we all learned and shared as he progressed. It's wonderful to see it in all it's glory complete with base and extras, it really does look great.

Smokin' hot Mikael. This will be the guide for many future DH-2 builds. I've already got it book marked.

BTW – I almost forgot, if anyones interested  – the figure I used was Model Cellars "Billy Bishop" kit. In this setting he's not Billy though – but an un-named pilot waiting for the next flight over the Somme summer of '16.

The kit itself was very nice and easy to put together – and I really enjoyed painting it...
