Hey guys, New member Dave doesn't know that he's just become an Aeroscale Author.

Dave's wife contacted me and asked me to arrange this little surprise for him. According to Isabelle, "My husband, Dave Zehnder, made this Gloster Gladiator and has mentioned wanting to submit it to your website. I wanted to do this for him as a surprise, so if you do use his photos, please email and let me know where we can find them online. I know it would me a lot to him."

Can we all get an "Awwwwwwww" for Dave?

Dave,
Welcome to Aeroscale. You're going to really like it here.

That's one really nicely modeled Gloster Gladiator. I don't think that I've ever seen a base quite like yours before, but it does add that little extra "something" to your display. Nicely done.

Welcome to the Aeroscale family Dave! Great build to introduce yourself as well, really neat work on the rigging and wires.
Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Cheers, D

I just don't understand how they manage that rigging. Are these people born with 3 hands or something???
