Having 3 makes it easier to show front, rear and side in 1 pic :)

I always thought I should have been a counterfeiter.

I had to deliver these today but I hadn't quite finished them, I brought the final pieces to work last night to finish them off... well, so I thought. I left the wings on the kitchen table so I couldn't finish them.
Spoke to the customer and organised to deliver tomorrow morning before he leaves to meet the team and present them.
Finished them off when i got home. he hasn't seen these pics yet, he will see them when he opens the box tomorrow.
I'm quite happy with them but i am bias.
I mounted them on the display bases before fitting the wings as I didn't want to break the wing handling them to mount. they would have looked cool in pics without the bases but i would rather not risk breaking these wings... I did break a join on 1 but found they are just plastic tac wleded, easy fix but not worth risking breaking again or more.
