Cheers, Scott. I'm glad you approve.

Give my love to Carrie and the 'not so little now' M.G.!

That's superb, Ron, and a really difficult subject. The undercarriage hanging loose is a great detail touch.

C'mon Ron. You've kept us in suspenders long enough, it's time to 'fess up! Just how did you do your levitation trick?

Tell you what Doug, I wouldn't fly a 'plane in that poor condition! It looks like it's about to crash at any moment!

Brilliant, and the execution is amazing. As for the flying aircraft, it's obvious, magic. Your a wizard.

Have to agree. There's definitely magic being used somewhere.

Tell us Ron, as a fully qualified wizard, does your staff have a knob on the end?

Just catching up with all these fabulous builds. Wow Ron, just wow, great concept and excellent finish. The plumes of water look convincing to me despite you having to trim them. That's an action-packed scene worth looking at and admiring for some time. Also enjoyed the finished Kate thread, nice build.

What my staff has on the end is my business - I might show you at Cosford!.....:eek:

Cheers all for your excellent comments on my model.

Dave, it's too early to 'fes. up'. No one has yet had a punt as to how I did it.

Here's another bit of levitation to consider, with a bit of a clue.......No fancy photo-shop nonsense, honest!

Hi Ron. Good work by the way.
I think there is a hairline between the two large spouts and the plane is resting, in balance, on it. The photos are positioned so the wings camouflage the line.

Peter, welcome to the forum and thanks for the compliment too....

Thanks for having a punt, but sorry, no cookie this time!

Is Justine stood just out of shot having thrown the 'plane - and her aim and your photography skills are excellent?
