Hello all.

 

I'm still alive and around.

Thanks for missing me.

Because of things in life I have not build much lately.

Only finished a stage coach.

When I get started again building I will post updates but that can take a while.

Nice to see you, my friend. I have been away also due to personal matters but of the positive kind.

It's good to see you are well and kicking ;) 

I hope to be back to building in no more than a month from now :) 

Best wishes to you, mate!

There aren't but two options: do it FAST, or do it RIGHT.

Last finished projectsRoyal Ship Vasa 1628; French Vessel Royal Louis 1780. 1/90 Scale by Mamoli. 120 Cannons

Hello,

 

The Agamemnon has a new home......

Because I don't have much space in the house I was looking for a new home for her.

Someone from the building where we are living has seen the Aggy and I told him that I need a good place for her.

Just around the corner of our home there  is a nursing home.

They want to show the model in a meeting room on a book shelf.

I bring her and a lot of older people just came in to take a look and.....the oh's and ah's are flying around :) ( In Dutch of course :))

I'm very pleased that now others can admire her.

And if I want to see her.....no problem, just 3 minutes away......

Here are the pictures.

Thanks Jacek & Peter.

 

@Jacek,

It’s not that heavy and when you take a good look you will see that she is standing in the middle of 2 book cases.

So the weight goes to 2 sides.

Ans i see also on the left and right that there is place for 2 more😄

 

@Peter!

 

You are just saying the right words...

I love to build but when she is standing in our house,only my wife and myself are looking at her.

And that home is also for demented older people.

So maybe this give something extra to them.

I didnt mean the weight but the stability - like someone knocking over the shelf or moving it to clean behind it ;)

 

I'd ask them to secure it properly ;)
