Glad to see you back, I really missed your work. Excellent progress.

This is one professional WIP chukw! BANANAS!!

Thanks, BK and 'goose- and sorry for the late reply.

There's a bit of a curse in having lots and lots of reference on a build. I keep finding new things about the Mohawk, and have been figuring out some of the more shadowy ends as well. In spite of my soon-to-be corrected cataracts and relapsing vision problems I've actually gotten some stuff done!  Come along and see just what, won't you?

That canopy detailing is stunning. Your model, Ms. Dee Staples, is JEALOUS!

Welcome back, Chuk.

Your detailing is outstanding, as always. You've got me drooling for more.

As usual all I can say is............WOW!

Mike

WOW!
As normal, fantastic research, AMAZING skills with the build quality and details, excellent photographs, and ASTOUNDING artwork!
Can't WAIT to see more....and the final finish!
Well done mate. Words fail me.
Cheers!

Thanks, guys!  I've decided to slip this little kit into the mix, so here's a review. Namdroid, BYW, is a character from my good friend Andrew Neal's Meeting Comics, a really fun and funny mature comic strip. Enjoy!

I feel like I'm reading a graphic novel every time I read your wip! Excellent 

Thanks, 'Goose!  I am an illustrator/concept artist/ storyboarder by trade. Check out some of my work here: https://www.artstation.com/chukw

Well

Nice stuff,Chuck.  Sorry to hear about the eye stuff but glad it's getting better.

Great to see you back! Beautiful work as usual. Thanks for sharing your weathering oil mx recipe. I just picked up some of that drying medium myself. Going to give it a try on my current build.

Thanks, Jeaton and the Mongoose!  If anyone still remembers, I'm back with this eternal build. Just had a great visit with my Optho and the old peepers are in pretty good shape. I've done this up special- for you!

Wahoo!

Oho!

  And I thought I was a stickler on Detail! Thank goodness I build Ships and Boats. This is past fantastic!

chuk, your skill and results never cease to amaze me. You take modeling to a whole new level! Thanks for inspiring me to push my skills. And I love that you do it while entertaining me! Keep up the amazing work!

Cheers!

Great stuff.  Glad to see you back at it.

That is one seriously awesome piece of modelling. I need to up my game!

Thanks, guys- I really appreciate your kind words- cheers!

Quit tryin to fool everyone into thinking this is a scale model... we all know this is a fullsize rebuild you have going on in some hanger probably in the southwest somewhere like Arizona or Nevada...

Aw, you got me fair and square, Mr B- but my FULLY ARMED AND OPERATIONAL BATTLE MOHAWK WILL BRING ORDER TO THE GALAXY!!

Or something like that. :D

Glad to see you back, Chuk!!  I saw this build over on LSP, and was hoping you shared it here, as well.  I've been, um, browsing a bit more lately, since I'm currently sidelined recovering from shoulder joint replacement surgery.  ALL projects, scale and 1:1, are on hold until I can get my arm out of the isolator sling, so I am living vecariously through others at the moment.  

Thank you for continuing to share your technique and links to products you find to enhance your builds, and the entertaining way you present them.  I'll be snagging one of those tugs, and those parking chocks for my own projects.  

Thanks, Crash! I sure hope your shoulder has a swift and complete recovery. I know what waiting around is like, and yeah, it's pretty dull. Videoaviation has announced a 1/32 tug that a big improvement over the 1/48 version- I hope he updates that version as well!.
