Sopwith Dolphin - finished

There!

I never really thought I'd say this, but the Dolphin is finished. A bit of mud on the undercarriage, the Mini World Lewis gun painted and installed, and the pitot tube glued on again (twice), and there you are. I'm now going to find a display case for it, then do the scenic base. Matt from the Wargames Table has kindly lent me some static grass and Vallejo acrylics, so I'm going to be studying his blog closely to see how he does it.

In the meantime I've paid a visit to Frome Model Centre and got some more Vallejo colours for Lt Worthington himself. Acrylics seem to be the thing to use for figures these days, so it's time I gave them a go.

So a bit more work left, but the Dolphin itself is now in a temporary display case and safe from harm, except from careless moving. Tempting fate, I know, but I think I've earned one free tempt.

Here are a couple more photos:
