Your garden variety RFC pilot according to the Model Cellar web site.

Started work on Biggles.
Arm joined to torso, belt and collar tab attached, a few pin holes filled and mold marks removed.

Torso and pedestal drilled for a pin.

Test fit of a pin, in this case a finishing nail.

Test fit of the torso to the pedestal.

Next will be epoxying them together and blending the two together.

Torso and pedestal glued. Head, hand and gloves put in place for a mock-up. Some of the glue that oozed out is still a bit tacky. While we watch glue dry, on to a different project.

Started painting with the eyes and a base coat of flesh tone on the face and hand.

I've done a few figures. :) The eyes can make or break a figure, especially in the large scales.
