    Happy birthday Dave an d many more to come. What a nice present you received, going to Boston - - - and see the real Constitution. Plenty of picks. The model is coming along just great. The carronade mock-up looks good from here. Cheers,

    Thank you Lawrence and Jeff for checking in but sorry to say - - nothing new to report. I had to temporarily set my bow lion drawing trials aside to make a colored pencil painting of a ghost crab. Don't laugh, it's something I promised to do to satisfy some of the folks at our National Colored Pencil Society chapter. I am trying a new technique for the beach sand, using dissolved colored pencil and my airbrush. The rule is that everything put on paper must be colored pencil, no other medium allowed, otherwise it is mixed media. So far not much luck. Looks like I have to buy a set of water soluble pencils. Instead of the bow lion as next on the agenda to make are the two ship's boats. I plan to use that mold method everybody seems to advocate. I did pretty good making that little dinghy for the sub, which is a tad smaller then what the Surabaya needs. But I need to give that plug thing a go, otherwise I won't learn. Thanks Jeff for your very kind words and also for adding me as a friend. Where do live, if I may ask. Cheers,

    Hoi Carl, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know- - - - I'm late. Sorry about that, wont happen again Ambitious project you have taken on but fun to watch, so count me in. Turrets look great but that 25 mm is kinda fuzzy As an airplane guy I REALLY like that Fokker. The only "more then one set of wings" airplane I have flown is a Waco UPF 7, a biplane. That one I rebuild in my garage - - - a long time ago. I'll sit next to Mark in the balcony and throw a bag of popcorn up so once in a while. And oh yeah, a glass of that amber stuff too. Noooooo, don't throw it Cheers,

    Thanks for the laughs fellows, and yes, the lion needs a lot of help to make it satisfactory to me. I'm after a wild and threatening look but not a self portrait though, that'll be too wild and threatening I have been temporarily sidelined with a change in our dietary way of life and a few other things. Hope to get back to the Surabaya soon and to another diorama of the Young America in scale of 1:3000 this time. The plan is to show her at sea with a few sails. Then there is a plastic kit of the Dutch submarine O16 I really need to build. My father served on her as well before he was placed on the O19. So you see there is a lot of work waiting for me and I'm not even looking at my bucket list. Help, I need another life time Cheers,
  11. Piet
    That worked out pretty good Remco. Cheers,

    Well, Nils, I'm still not even half way with my Dutch VOC ship Surabaya and am planning a 1:3000 sacle Young America and a recently acquired styrene model of the Dutch submarine O16. Just been too busy with "stuff." In the meantime I just come and visit all my friends here. Your ship is coming along real nice. Cheers,
