very nice weathering overall especially so on the OS-2s.

Hi David great build. Could I ask what timber you used for the decking? Cheers Pete

Hi Ted - very nice build. A tip from my old photography days - to get rid of reflections when shooting through glass use a polarizing filter, they are fairly cheap and with a great camera like you have shouldn't even cost you one f stop.  - I use one when photographing models in museums etc. Look forward to seeing your new build. Cheers Pete 

Very nice clean build of an uncommon subject. Some nice diorama scenes and detailing in the winches/fittings and you have nailed the lighting - brightness level just right " in scale ?" Like the deck planking - what wood did you use ?? Cheers Pete

love the coffee cup- nice detailing

Beautiful build of an elegant subject - even looking through the close ups which are normally pretty brutal I couldn't see a hair out of place - Congratulations. PeteB

Mate great detail and painting - just wondering if those blocks might have been steel ? whatever nice model well executed - cheers pete

Nice detailing

Really like the way you have finished the decking - cheers Pete

Great weathering right down to the barnacles on the props - don't think I have seen that before - cheers pete

Hi Koppalakki

Mate your build looks great - nice detail, well executed. You seem to have weathering techniques nailed and they are consistent over the model my only reservation is maybe a little too much weathering for such a new ship ? but mate that aside I wouldn't mind it sitting on my display shelf. Well done. Cheers Pete

Hi Kirby - all I can say is what a fortuitous accident - I applaud your perseverance pushing forward from a train wreck to a beautiful celebration of the different qualities of the timbers you have used. I'm always sad to see a tree cut down (especially when they feed what was a live tree with a character of its own 10 minutes before straight into a chipper) but here you've put on show a reminder of the beauty of these trees. Cheers Pete

Hi Kirby

Mate that is a thing of beauty very seldom seen at least by me. Great choice of woods providing that lovely contrast. Even the back board grain to me suggests a slipstream or wake as if its live and moving through its native medium. Beautiful execution - love it. Cheers Pete

Mate the blocks are just an ooops -  easy fixed - still picking my jaw up after looking at your wood and metal work - fabulous work - cheers Pete

Can only echo all the above - Beautiful build and stunning presentation. Congratulations Pete

Great collection. You have packed some amazing detail in your Isuzu Build for that scale and your weathering is masterclass standard everything very well executed. Congratulations Pete

Nice Build I guess something personal in your dads past life? love the way you have finished the interior looks just like I would imagine being built from local materials - Cheers Pete

Refreshing to see something different - nice build Congratulations - Cheers Pete

Hi Leif

Lovely work - maybe if I had started at 12 I could turn out work as nice as yours - Well done - Cheers Pete

Hi RGL

As an old Plastic Tragic myself I can only say WOW - Looked at the images in large scale 1200x 900 which just confirmed that you have packed a world of detail into the model at that scale and your Painting and weathering are just spot on- Congratulations - Cheers Pete

Hi Barbaros

Can't resist coming back for a look every now and then as your build is exceptional. Initially not an era I knew much about or favoured but every time I look at your fabulous build I'm becoming more and more attracted to these first juggernaut's. Lovely work - Cheers Pete

Congratulations Glenn - Lovely Subject and beautiful execution- Cheers pete

Lovely subject and a beautiful clean execution - Congratulations - cheers pete

Hi Greg

Lovely build great detail. Still scratching my head as to how you got the torpedo nets to hang like that without visible means of support? Great subject, Great execution. Congratulations - cheers Pete

Great detail everywhere you look, rope work, sails,woodwork and all the gear and on-board paraphernalia you find on a working boat - but man you bowled me over with the scale smooth stone ballast - congratulations well done cheers Pete
