Wow, spectacular work!  Really love the sails, nice job!

I came to appreciate the Philadelphia after seeing it at the Smithsonian - picked up the plans soon after!  It's a great exhibit.

Happy 2024!

Wow, that's super cool!!  Congratulations!  What an honor!

Did you scratch build the Philadelphia?  I ended up buying the very detailed Smithsonian plans for the gunboat, and hope to build it one day.  

Fantastic job!  Love the nice work with all those biplanes!

Nicely done!  Always a treat to see models of working ships.

Wow, very well done!!

Incredible work!  Love the sails and all the details you added.

That came out really great!  Not an easy kit to make look good, but you did, congratulations!

Holy cow this is insanely good.  You've really mastered the art of putting these sail ships in waterline dioramas, fantastic job!

Nicely done!!

Beautiful model - the sails are really nicely done.

Beautiful model Nils!!

Hey John, thanks very much for your kind words.  I didn't post pictures in my build log of the diorama process, but can answer questions if you have any.

Wow this came out really great!  What a beautiful build!

That's really beautiful, wow!  Should be the box cover shots!

This came out really great Glen.  I love your creative display - looks fantastic, nice job!

Nicely done!  Love the setting with the islands and rocks.  

Nicely done on this Flower Class!  Looks like the Black Cat kit builds into a nice looking model.

Beautiful work!

Fantastic work Greg - love the display, very cool!

Wow very nice Ab!  I have your Swatch book and one day I hope to scratch one or more of the beautiful subjects in that book.

That’s really beautiful Ron.  Feels like you’re right there.  Well done!

Incredible job!  

Really nice work as always Chris!

Love it!  I had your Dutch merchant ships book and can’t wait to build one once my skill level improves a bit.  Thanks for all the research and resources on these beautiful ships!
