At Doncaster this past year, I had hoped to have a box finished as a prize - unfortunately, life intervened. So I asked Neil and Chris to have a 'coupon' as a prize which the winner could redeem for a counters box designed to his or her specifications. Chris ended up winning the coupon, and, of course, his box design of choice involved his beloved F2B In the hustle and bustle to get ready to go to England in January, I forgot to take pictures of it, so Chris sent me a couple...
I used a new color on the box itself - a stain called 'gunstock', which is a tad bit redder than what I previously had been using. I rather like the color of it. Then it's sealed with a couple of coats of poly varnish and painted with my usual Vallejo paints. I finished it up and delivered it to him personally at RAF Hendon when he came down to visit the museum with me and my son on our recent trip to the UK. It was wonderful to be able to deliver it in person to him. As you can see from the second picture, he has it already in use
As always, thanks for looking
Always the best,
Matt
