Description
Rest in Peace Nielwil.
I used Niel's excellent A-10 Warthog model for this traditional "Missing Man" formation. Thank you for your friendship and all the great airplane models, Niel. You will be missed.

I was unaware that he had died. what a great artist and modeler. superb dedication Rod. he would have loved it
Simply beautiful, very nice tribute...
I Thought of doing a Tribute I have many of his models I haven't used yet he always commented when I used his stuff!
Nice one Rod.....
Oh I do love this Rod great tribute..
Love AR & G4 in this awesome atmo, Rod.. they are cool props he shared with you. Wwll done dedi, Also great job with the contrails or Chem ones.
A lovely tribute to your friend and very beautifully created.
Well done. Unfortunately, the Warthog, one of the most effective planes ever used in close support is being retired from service soon.
Yeah, another stupid decision from those who know best (NOT)
Looking at Neil's ShareCG page now. He had some great stuff, and I wish I knew of him before his passing. R.I.P. Neil :(
Beautiful dedication !!
rip neil sorry i missed this.he was a very generous person.
Such a stunning tribute for a beautiful artist
Superb Dedication to wonderful artist. Significant Image Rod
WOW my friend... What a marvelous scene and this composition is really fantastic... Outstandingly done once again !!!
Nice one..
Very nicely done dedication
Always love you stuff. ashamed, they have stopped using the A10. Good old Obama forded the cutback. Due to it's ability to stay over a target for long period of time and higher payload. It was perfect plane to go after terrorist, but of course that is not a priority. We like drones. one missile one kill. of course if more than one we wait for back up. I will get off my soap box now. Song?
Beautiful way to pay tribute the a really great man.
DA SALUTE :)
Gorgeous work my friend

Magnificent scene and nice tribute. I am devastated by the loss of Neil. It was always an example as modeller and an incentive for my models. I thank you Neil.
Nice tribute!
Neil was not only a great modeler, he was also extremely generous. He gave his models away freely and also his time, knowledge, and advice. I will miss his creativity, inspiration and especially his humor. He will always be one of those wonderful friends I never met...
I had only heard of Nielwil, but I never knew him or much about his work. I know he was loved and respected here, and I saw some of his modeling and I was always impressed. I'm very sorry for you and everyone else who lost someone dear. You did a beautiful tribute---two of your beloved ladies saluting those beautiful planes which he designed. I'm familiar with the Missing Man Formation, though I've never actually experienced one; and it's very touching that you used that for your remembrance. Your light is exquisite, and the landscape is radiant and deeply honoring. A beautiful tribute, Rod. I'm very sorry for his loss, and I hope he'll live on through all of you, and through all those he loved...your piece radiates with honor, respect and love.
wonderful
