Good Golly Miss Molly Richard,

I too can only echo what the others have said. The tiny work is out of this world Buddy!!! So come on now, share some of those meds you're taking............Please..........Pretty please...................

Prost
Allen

Jim, Chris and Allen, I'm just the regular guy next door...anyone can do this if he or she puts their crazy minds to it, no meds required, just loads of comments and encouragement from you guys is good enough to keep the mojo flowing.

PS. you need good breathing skills to hold it long enough for the part to stick and learn more than ten profanities in three different languages and dialects if it drops.

Cheers,
Richard

Richard,

That mate is outstanding.

Just saw your post Scottie, thanks. Still quite a few details to go before I finish and work on the seascape.

Cheers,
Richard

You certainly don't disappoint Richard, amazing work at that scale. Can we have a comparison with tape or paint bottle please.

 

[rtfoe]

Lucky you John, I have myself as comparison compliments of a colleague and with the rest of the ship shape gang and their builds...



I am looking a bit on the thin side after the surgery but should be picking up weight as my appetite is coming back.

Cheers,
Richard

An i aggree with Rick crazy small an id have a hard job fittin in R/C in it lol you must have some really good peppers (eyes) but how you have built this model is beyond me an it in my opinion should go into a glass case an into a museum as ive never seen a model with such detail in this scale you should be really proud of your self when this is finished an where you all are is this a model shop ? as i see no end of kits an there are tables as well so is this where you can sit an all build togeather ? an are your freinds all into ships ? sorry for all the questions but now i can see it properly i study pics

Hi Christopher, resting my eyes at the moment as the CA fumes have been irritating them. No worries, ask away...yes it's a model shop that allowed us to meet as long as we followed SOPs. The tables are for any group build displays or when new shipment arrives for viewing. Tables at the back are for group or night builds. Yes the group with me are ship builders or newbies that needed help.

Here are some more pics I took...



Mast not finished and painted yet.



Cheers,
Richard

 

[JR]

That is stunning Richard, more so now we have seen how small it really is, hat off to you .

 

[rtfoe]

Thanks John, the scale and super glue has taken a toll on my eyes so off to sleep for the night. No builds so far.

Cheers,
Richard

 

[boatman]

COR richard she lookin crackin an that is a crackin idea of that model shop letting you build in the shop an supplyin tables an chair's never seen that idea before as in my model shop all they want is your money an you are shown the door but that idea is great as you can meet others that are likeminded an you can talk about your builds pity there is none in the uk
