    SS Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse 1897 by Mirabell61 - FINISHED - scale 1:144 - POF - first German four stacker of the Norddeutscher Lloyd line

    G'day Nils 

    I'm with Patrick, with a long and sad heart knowing that this immaculate build and log will be ending soon.

    Have your thought about doing the HMY ROYAL CAROLINE? I would say this would suit and your incredible talents to the make an incredible job, again.

    I'm sure you will enjoy it immensely.

    G'day Nils 

    I've been working in my computer to see if can find the colour of the life bouy.

    The above photo I took a sample in photoshop (Red circle) and it was 25%.

    20170620_152220.thumb.jpg.e91d4748ff192e1260a249a80716f5b3.jpgThis one is made a graduate grey  scale from the graduate colour scale and I found  the 25% Mark and it's is on the blue line.

    The colour above is something close to the bouy, if my calculations are accurate. 

    Sorry for the dots in this colour sample as I took a photo of my screen with my camera.

    Hope this will be an assistance for you.

    HMS Royal William by KeithW - Euromodel - 1/72

    G'day Keith 

    I also agree with Pete. I spent the last 2 weeks rereading Mark's, Vince's and your logs on the RW. They are all incredible and the way Mark, Vince and you approached their own builds is so amazing and completely different.  The results for all three are inspiring to all future RW builders.

    The way you approached the transom is so unique, I'm sure future RW builders will borrow this and turn it around and make it their own version.

    The only thing that I can ask of you is to PLEASE CONTINUE WITH THIS MARVELOUS BUILD AND YOUR INFORMATIVE LOG.

    Hope and pray to see you back soon.

    Allthebest mate

    Bloody marvelous again.

    Looking at the black and white photo of the men at the horse shoe shape life preserver, it could be a bright yellow or an orange, not white. Yellowish colours in b&w photo can be produced as a dirty white. The white cap of one of the men is white. See the difference?

    Just my view anyway mate.

    HMB Endeavour by DaveRow - FINISHED - Corel - Scale 1:60 - First Build Kit

    G'day Dave 

    This model is bloody marvelous mate. Your eye for detail is outstanding, and did you say years ago that this is you FIRST model? Unbelievable!

    Are you going to add crow feet to the masks? They week there on the HMS ENDEAVOUR  but not on the HMB endeavor. This factor is going to be addressed, I believe, to make the replica more realistic.

    G'day Nils 

    All I can say is to echoes everyone'scomments. Bloody marvelous mate!

    Loved the tour of your hobby room and those incredible models. Just wondering, how many years of worth in those models? You must have been a very young gentleman when you first got into modeling.
