I see similarities between the way K-2SO and Kryten were "built" as characters, with subsequent similarities in scenes where the bots are taught how to lie, cheat, etc.! Great advice!

K2SO is like a droid version of Spock with a dark British sense of humor.

This represents the aircraft following a rebuild of new wings and motor following a takeoff or landing crash on the field. Barker was uninjured but the aircraft was seriously hurt and was rebuilt. At the time personal markings and a red devil hood ornament were added!

Hahaha! I know it’s kind of a strange situation at the very least. That’s the pilot and he looks hale and healthy and his plane is completely wrecked. I should look up what happened here. Camels were notorious for being very hard to maneuver off the ground, on the ground. Thanks, Mike!

Now that's a feeling that I'm all too familiar with Bruce. I have, however, managed to get back to the bench this past week. I'm busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs lately. :giggles:

Hang with it brother. Looking forward to seeing more on this one.

Thanks, Joe! It’s been a real bear these past few weeks with everything packed except the fuselage and cockpit module. I have a compound curve to form which partially encloses the upper deck and I’m not quite sure how to address technically.

I’m thinking I’ll make a sub form as a support then use epoxy putty to create the final finish.

Sopwith's were a handful anywhere lol! That's why a lot of pilots preferred the SE5a.
