humorous maybe, definitly sincere though its awesome!!!!! ps...i prefered your original unedited reply, made me giggle.

Glad you had time to read the original Colin.

I had intended to leave it in, but I decided to remove it in case it produced an adverse reaction.....

I could always do it again, though I fear the moment is lost.

tell you what ron, remember that really expensive schnellboot you missed out on when we were at ellesmere port,would look fantastic on one of your wave bases ,might have to commision one off you,just had another good look at the photos and it really is awsome,you never cease to amaze me what you can do with a brush.

[spanner570]

Thanks a bundle Andrew, I still have nightmares about that.....if it hadn't been for me having to hide from 'You know who', it would have been me smiling like a village idiot, not you!

Anyway, apart from roughly brush painting the poly base of this model blue/green, the rest was done with a 4" nail, honest!

I'm sure, once you know 'How to', you could get the same effect, no bother. But thanks for the compliment, non the less....

Cheers,

Somehow I missed this one Ron, but all I can say is 'wow'! That's probably the most realistic water effect I've yet seen. Until you see the last pictures with the base, you think it's a much bigger size too.

Top work & well worthy of 5 stars!

Cheers

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,

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

[spanner570]

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

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
