You've been and gone and done it again haven't you!? Yet another wonderful ***** build.

Isn't Justine getting fed up of that huge cabinet you're using just to keep your stars in?

Thanks for the 5* Dave, Im glad you like the model.

Justine has just quipped "Fat chance anything else going in that cabinet.....it's full of cans of Boddingtons!".......as if!

Take care,

Ron

I don't normally 'do' boats or ships but this is fantastic!

 

[spanner570]

Thanks for that Joe, glad you like it....

I don't normally do boaty things either, so this made a refreshing change...

Cheers,

Ron

I've always considered modeling water and waves and such the very top of the game. You are right up there, Ron! Looks very realistic. Cheers!

If i just had to use one word to sum up this build Ron, it would have to be 'magnificent'. But i have more, WOW is one and awesome is another. Top work matey, love it, just added some more 5 stars too.

Have fun, John

Hi there Ron ......just started doing my German half track in Afrika Korps colours .(will post some pics soon) .. waiting for a kubelwagen and anti aircraft gun from the local hobby shop to arrive and then will attempt a desert diorama scene ..... u offered me a whole ton of advice a few weeks back on where and what to start .. so i am hoping to get cracking very soon ....kind regards lindsey

Laurie, thanks for the compliments....Genius?...Between you and me around 15yrs ago during our boating phase, my wife and I were 'rescued' by the Isle of Anglesey's RNLI Moelfre Tyne class Lifeboat. By way of thanks I painted a watercolour of their boat, gave the crew a cash donation and a ruck of ale......The painting, as far as I know, still hangs in the lifeboat station.

I took a picture of the painting and that hangs in our dining room.....all this blithering leads me to my PT109 model! The sea action on the painting was just what I wanted, so I just sat in front of it and copied (sort of!)

I reckon if we have something to copy, we can all have a bloody good stab at it. In this instance it was just about taking the time to figure out how!....Then along came the 'snot' moment!

Hey Ian, no negative waves ( some pun, huh!)

When you have finished your K.G.5, our models will be able to stand together and people can be sea sick twice!

Lindsey, of course I remember now.....The plateau/escarpment. Best of luck with it and don't forget to post progress pictures.

Thanks again boys,

Ron
