Hello Carl,
yes correct, it is a 1 cents piece in the background.
At the moment I can show only little progress:

I believe there is beauty in all forms of Cross-sections:
1) Just the hull presented as a precious Jewel:
2) The intermediate approach:
3) The Statement in its full glory:

That Echo Cross section and how it is presented is exactly how I plan on presenting the Pegasus kit. Literally the same. One side planked and one side open framed.....Its beautiful.

I have been swamped with trying to rebuild my inventory before the Connecticut show. But yes I have made some progress but nothing really new. I basically have caught up to where I was on the earlier version. This is where I am at right now. The good news is that I have completed the set up in shop for some serious model building after the show. I am ready to go and have set up an area to take better pictures.....hopefully. Right now everything is kind of thrown onto the same table....as you can see.

bdgiantman2 reacted to xken in Dirty Dozen by xken - FINISHED - Abalone Fishing Boat
The final chapter for the Dirty Dozen at home in the Morro Bay Maritime Museum display. Tonight will be the Patrons Preview of the museum. but still a work "in Progress" until the official opening in October during the Morro Bay Harbor Festival. They are now talking of reviving the Landing Craft and now a Clipper ship the "South American" built in Boston and launched by Smith and Townsend in 1876. "In her early life was considered the finest wooden sailing ship afloat" a quote from "American Merchant Ships" page 316. "The figurehead was a finely carved Amazon." She was 245 feet long, beam of 41.6 feet with a depth of hold 25 feet and registered at 1,694 tons. If anyone has more information or pictures I would greatly appreciate any help. The museum was donated a painting, artifacts and letters from one of her Captain's passed down through the family.
If ever in Morro Bay make a point of visiting our small but ever growing museum.
What will be neat, is to see again the original builder again tonight. At one time Morro Bay was the world capital of abalone fishing.

bdgiantman2 reacted to Omega1234 in SHADOW by Omega1234 - FINISHED - Scale 1/300 - Luxury 60m Mega Yacht
Hi Everyone!
A quick update for you. Shadow now has a temporary stand to rest upon, whilst I figure out how best to display her. I hope the final decision will look good...here’ hoping.
Also, I’ve painted her two tenders (one of which is shown in the photos). Pls excuse my dirty fingernails as I’d just done some gardening before the photo was taken.
Cheers.

So basically I'm done with gun 2s PE. I always love bending PE, I will never get tired of that.
but I will always dread glueing on railings.
Time for gun 3.

Cog, I will think about it and deal with it next week. I will procrastinate and for now I will concentrate on PE.
I guess ill cut out the PE one gun at a time. I cut the first guns PE out.
It didnt take to long and it wasnt a pain like I thought. Usually ladder rungs and railings are a huge pain for me.

Dan, your model of the Bismarck is beautifully done, sir! She really was a beast of a ship for her time, I was amazed how technologically advanced Bismarck and other ships were. A very fascinating project.

Hello, i was searching info of Friesland, found it is based on real ship which existed - Hohenzollern model which was of a dutch 17th century 2 decker. This is one photo i found of this ship model. I am still in search of photo real ship, which was destroyed on WWII.
