What clutter!? You seem to meet my clean bench policy. Nice progress -
Amalio sends in the cleaning crew before he opens the photo studio. marvelous work, which isn't usual, although, it may seem that way since your standard has been high all along

It seems to me you just wanted to start with the fun part. Magnificent. You know that now you have to make your build look as much beat up as your lamp

The funnel colour ...most probably a light grey, something like "off white" And I thought it was a cover up ...

*** E.J. wrote. The brass really make the different parts come out instead of dissolving in the general blue-ish/grey background. Beautiful model

I know the feeling, the most important reason I do not celebrate my birthday, I lost a close friend that day whom got shot for the keys of his second hand car. It's so useless, and, although, people say life goes on, which is true, it can be quite joyless, at least for a while. Besides, everyone needs time to learn how to give such pain a place, possibly without forgetting. Eventually you'll pick life up where you left off ... it doesn't make it any easier to deal with. My sincere condolences ... I wish you strenght and the wisdom to cope with it, and hope she shall remain in your memories as the person she was to you.

Steven, I would have expected the deck of the raised forecastle to be more horizontal, especially if some fluid would leak on the now raised deck, it would run aft, which doesn't sound to logical, and somewhat perilous.

Impeccable, a real feat to create such a life like example of the lamp at such scale .... When soldering such moving items at this size, wouldn't it be easier to use GAW's resistance soldering method as he uses on his full metall models? A further question springs to mind: Did you use a slightly oversized wire for the rotating tab's locking "tube". If not, wouldn't that make it harder to enter the locking wire?

Most pacific camouflage is quite boring I found. When I look at the destroyers from the RN, RCN, RAN, and RNZN it's mostly more singel shades of blue/greyish-blue. Thorough paint job, Jack. Did you draw the patern on the hull, or use masking tape?

Sorry to hear you are having health issues. Hope you'll get better soon

Love the contrasting colour mate. Not so darkish as the rest of the ship. I knew you had it in you ... a streak of joy

Mark, You could swap to the artificial side, Plastic & PE ... reasonable quick build, but quite a challenge ... Or just a simple kit could ease the inner turmoil ... MOst important: Have FUN!!

We'll wait, Mark ... patiently, and I hope you'll get things sorted out and back to calm seas for some smooth sailing

By hand ... you've been doing a lot of handtooling lately ..? We've seen so little ... of you, so you mest have been kept very bussy!

I use plastic specific glue for the kit parts from the spruces, anything else metal like is attached with CA. I like BSI insta-cure+ . No specific treatments whatsoever. I do, however, remove any paint from the surfaces which will be glued, but for the spot where I need to glue a brass piece on if that happens to be after painting. I try to get all brass on before priming, which, as you will have encountered also, is not always evident

I don't think the feelings for the loss between a real or a foster parent will differ, so I know the pain. My sincere condolences Jesse. I wish you and your family lots of strength during this time of grief.

Glad you've got a steady hand, despite the wrecked nerves. Looks very straight. I do hope - when the time comes - to get the same result ...

Thank you for that visualisation, Michael. I'll most certainly give that a try.

It'll come when I see the speed you are building ... 1 destroyer, 1 transport, coming up 1 destroyer ...
