Fantastic job, incredibly realistic. I would love to see a person next to it to give it some scale perspective.

Howdy Andy,

I must say I am simply amazed at both your superb Whippet, and....your sites offerings!!

Being a big, 'big scale' fan I have to confess to drooling over what you've done and what you offer. Although I must also say you could be responsible for putting a fairly decent sized dent in my pocketbook!

Your Whippet is a superb piece of construction. Both in accuracy, and presentation. Not to mention your excellent paintwork.........very nice indeed.

I am presently building a Whippet {the Emhar 1/35th scale kit} for a Group Build over at a site you've just got to check out {the web site, not my Whippet ;-) } http://www.landships.freeservers.com/
I've also taken the liberty of providing a link to this thread so that some of the fellas over at Landships don't miss seeing your work...

My first question to you is; Do you offer this cardboard Whippet in kit form?.....Because if you do, I am most definitely interested in procuring one.

reagards,

Tread.

PostScript: I don't suppose you have any more plans for WWI tanks???......maybe one of the british Marks?.....or even yummier, the german A7V?......

IMPRESSIVE - one of the best scratchbuilds I've ever seen. I really thought it was steel in a couple of pics - thought you'd thrown in some of your references!

It's unfair to show real tank pictures pretending they are from a model :-) :-)

You gonna kill this hobby with your skills. How can we compare with you, man ? You're simply amazing

An outstanding piece of workmanship.
Please consider submitting more photos for an ON DISPLAY. Perhaps even writing and submitting an article on your techniques.
Your English is 100 times better than my Polish, so don't worry about that.
Once again, really is an outstanding model.

Hi,
I often see superb models in this forum but I really don't have the habit of commenting those nicely built models with a few words like "amazing" or "very nicely built" etc. especially when other peoples already did so.
Now I have to make an exception, I cannot hold myself back...

THIS MODEL IS AWESOME, A REAL PRIZE WINNER!
