What Spiros said.  Now I have to go find my jaw cause when it fell off the dog grabbed it and headed for the back yard!  Stunning little ship.

Hi Namaste       OH-13-H  Bostonian Bostanian Plane

Thur July 23 2026

     Thanks for the art work.   :)   Looks like someone had some fun painting.   That is a beautiful Bostanian.   8)    The coloring and shading and texture are excellent!   And thanks for the pic of your artists pallette.
I was wondering what kind of paint that was.   I had a hunch that is was watercolor.

     Thanks for the Ecoline paint search word.   What wonderful paint.    I never knew about it before.   The  'blending'  part ...    I must also try this.  This 4 min video explained it all to me.

Hi Richard! Thanks for your kind words.
Besides the ecolines, Posca magic markers were used to complete the illustrations. All the black lines were made with those. I have nothing but the best to say about them. Thanks again!

Hi Alex, welcome to the forum!

I absolutely forbid you from flying this.

Indoors under no circumstances. We wouldn't want a pumpkin falling on anyone's head...

Amazing paintwork and even more amazing imagination. Excellent!

You have to love this forum, wonderful models, like this one, and multi-lingual jokes.

It's a delightfully silly, lovely thing to look at, but the prop makes it for me too.

Does the bee give it a lifting tail? :)

Seriously I didn't expect all these wonderful comments when I was painting it.
Thank you much. Here follows a photo of it's maiden flight. It puzzles me how Spiros got into the frame?!
