I have inserted a progress photo of my latest commission, a Boeing 747-8. Note the upward sweep of the wings. This the new wing design which increases fuel efficiency (obviously on the real airplane). I will post a completed photo soon.

Awesome!

Could you share your settings and material? any recommendations on wire size, tungsten, filler, amps and technique?
I'm thinking about copying a motorcycle frame in wire and then testing different frame bracings with the model.
