You aren't alone on this one!

Ralph, Chris, Hew, thanks fellas. I got some more done...

This is bringing back some memories, Love it.

Cheers

Huw

Thanks Huw- so far this is 100% scratch built, but its not really about that as I can see there are far better sculptors/scratchers than me on PF- its about realising your ideas, and cutting loose from the main stream...

Totally agree with your thoughts about realising your ideas. I can't sculpt for tuppence so don't knock your talent David - I couldn't get this result in a month of Sundays!

Cheers

Huw

Thanks Huw- I am going to put this in for Euro this year- not least because its the model that was banned by Military Modelling, and they sponsor that event. Complete creative freedom is important for me- and I'm going to stand up for that!

They banned it? Why?

Cheers

Huw

This looks absolutely awesome David... I love it... Brilliant idea!!!! You've inspired me to do a full on-stage scene... I'll figure out who when the time comes.

Be proud of this and F$&k anyone who would bash it

Colin

Wow mate. It's brilliant

Superb!

Mike

Does not matter about people being better sculptors/scratchers.To me it's about what YOU have done and this work is fantastic.
How about Sham 69 next."There's gonna be a Borstal Breakout"

All the best.
Ralph.

Ah Gents, you're kind. I've posted this here and Facebook, and the one thing is - everyone says what band they would like to see in model form! I've been threatening to do One Direction next- my daughters' favourite ! Anyway I've been doing some more - I reworked all the cymbal stands and I've been painting the drum kit apart from that...

Hi David.
Following with interest love the theme "Brits" and this is a fantastic follow on to your tourist.
My 35 year old son said to me I want the "Never mind the B-----k's album.

Wonder if in forty years time somebody will be asking for "five fingered death punch"

This is what we Brits are good at,tounge in cheek humour at our self s

Looking forward to the next instalment.
Peter.

Hiya Pete- you put your finger on it there. We can laugh at ourselves, well some anyway- I'm quite interested in that 'yob' Brit mentality that says 'we're English and we're best' - why are we best? We're not- you only have to look around at the cricket team, the soccer team- etc. etc. We're actually pretty poor.
But never mind- we are cool just the same- that's just the way it is; cool is one of those things you're born with....
I've done 3 projects this year all linked by the 'Britannia' theme. Not necessarily Britannia in its heroic aspects - Seb Coe, who has drugs rumours hovering over his head and became a failed Tory Politician, the Chelsea football hooligan on holiday in Europe ( unfortunately topical) and the Pistols- the ugly face of British culture...

David.

You are correct regarding our sports teams - but our music well that's another thing -- and still going strong!!
In this aspect "Rule Britannia"

Finished! God Save the Queen...

Fantastic David.

Really looking forward to the next episode.

Peter.

Absolutely brilliant finish.
Ralph.

Thanks for the kind words fellas, I've already made a start on my next instalment. I'll be posting it soon. It's the 1960s British fashion model- Twiggy

Last round of shots then...
