That is superb Ken, and I mean superb! The paintwork and quality coupled with weathering really set it off, but what really brings it to life is the base. You get a sense of movement and a wooden ship pitching and listing. The lighting in the rear cabins is a very nice touch too.


One of my faves.

Wow that is great. I doubt I could ever do such a good paint job. You must have a real steady hand.

A bottle of Whiskey and he is fine...want to see his builds when sober...a right mess

Si, you know the 12 whiskeys a night are just for medicinal, benhur, what's you're name? We're all on first name terms here mate, I'm sure you could do just as well.

[eddiesolo]

I'm sure you could do just as well.

Agree...if in doubt, put holes in it and do it sunk, that's what I do when something goes wrong...which is most of the time.

Just the 12!

I think I will when I start my 1/8 heller Citroen Traction Avant, gulp when I pluck the courage to start it 1100+ parts. Even with roymattblacks dvd its still a daunting build.

[Guest]

Fantastic! Love that plaque at the bottom there, adds to the presentation of the build

[Guest]

Actually when you look at the pics of the final build analytically it is a piece of sh"@ it couldn't look more plastic if I tried, I got carried away by rolf and the GMM wanting it, I think my ego got carried away, that last pic especially looks totally plastic and rubbish just glad Rolf dosnt know anything about ships.

I still think it looks great Ken. I'll tell you what, all plastic scale sailing vessels look plasticky even when painted really well, something about the way they are.

that's what I do when something goes wrong...which is most of the :P time.


Steady on Si you may one day see yourself painted and rutted up by th wife!!! ( I'm sure the wife's thought of it a few times!!!


( sorry that couldn't be helped)


Robert :P

Hi Ken


What can one say to yet another awesome masterpiece from the King of ship building ( think I may have put some noses out of joint there?)


Been watching this come together and what you have achieved is beyond anything a lot of us if I'm honest could match. ( that' sea looks so lifelike!!


Your painting and weathering along with your minds eye on what you want to achieve is very impressive.


( ps.....who's Ben hur ? Your cat?


Awesome


A true genius at work
