Great job!  thanks for posting the build!

A wonderful job of showing the progress story in pictures!!

What still camera are you using?  

OK.  I have come to the conclusion that Amalio isn't building this model himself at all.   I believe that there are 1 inch tall boat-wrights that build this model in the middle of the night.  I'm sure that I see there tiny foot prints in the sanding dust.  That's what it has to be!!  No one can work that precise in that scale!!! 

Holy Moley!!  Look at the fit and finish on this work!!!  I think we have a Montanes' level worker here!!! 

Is it just me or is everyone else amazed at the fit and finish he achieves with every piece and joint?

Is it possible that there is more detail here than in the full scale version!?!!  11 out of 10! 

Whew!   I'm exhausted just looking at all those timbers!!! Amazing work! 

Frank,

I love the way you used material, and pieces that you had on hand.  Methods and processes that you wouldn't find in a model building handbook.   All from you own eyes and brain.   Computer heat sinks!   That type of building to me is gift that not everyone has.   It's a type of genius in my book.   Great stuff Frank!

Frank,

Great to have you on the forum!  I am head over heels with your Trojan build!   It is fantastic!  The little information you gave in your gallery page only wet my appetite to learn more about how you used composite decking and welders mask glass and etc.  Did you use any drawings? 

Stan

Very professional job!  Museum quality with the display case and the installed lighting!!  I would love to see a subdued lighted picture in the case with the model lighting turned on!!

Anyone ever notice that in the "Spy Who Loved Me" movie the "kidnapped" American sub was hull numbered 593?  I wonder if that was intentional...

Yes, it's a semi-clone of WS&IM. it's something I am working on, I'm about 80% done.

Wulf,  Let me know when its done!!! 

Excuse my ignorance, but is that screen shot above from a computer game?  If it is, what game is it from?   It reminds me of the Wooden Ships and Iron Men board game.  

Wow!!    

Hows the build coming along?  Anymore progress?  VA Beach resident here as well (Kempsville).

Mike,

Enjoy following your build.  Really great!!  Here's a bit of inspiration.

Dave,  As I scroll through this build log I am utterly mesmerized.  I can stare at the detail for hours. Simply amazing.  :im Not Worthy:

Stan

No, no, no.  It's obvious that these are "spud" sails and these are merely potatoes.   Now that that is settled I'm going to have another few beers.  Cheers y'all!     

Patrick,  Very interesting build, research and discussion.  Learned so much in just one page!!  Sailors' salute to you and everyone that contributed to the discussion so far.    

Stan

Julie, your meticulous attention to detail and level of effort you are putting into this build is fascinating to see!  its no wonder that your guitars look so amazing!  I can only dream about how well they play.  Thanks for letting us share your progress!

Holy Panther Robin!

That is some amazing painting on your models!!  Both the Panzer and the cockpit detail are ultra realistic!
