Spitfire Griffon Engine Template W.I.P.

[96th_Nightshifter]

After years of using Templates very kindly provided by Fly By Shooter for making my "Griffon Hacked" Spitfires I've finally decided to make my own.
Granted I had to modify the templates I used but this time I decided to cause Myself some serious problems by making my own template 100% original (including internals) right down to the last rivet.

It's going to take me a long time no doubt since I have only ever made a template once before with a Ki-84 Sea Fury I made so updates on this one will be scarce I would imagine.

I started this about a month ago but forgot to post it here

Anyway here are some progress pics from from various stages over the past month up until where I am now with it.

That's a lot of rivets! Looking great Nightshifter.

Very nice as usual Nightshifter. What is FBS doing these days?

[BadAim]

Very sharp.

Thanks guys, Yeah Joe that is a LOT of rivets, have done abit more and toned them down a lot since that image but am currently working on the fuselage rivets (joy).

As for FBS, I have seen him posting more of his work at the M4T site - jaw dropping stuff as usual
