Those woodendecks make such a difference on these models ...

I like air above a boat, shows it's relative smallness, and it does not look cooped up

it's for you other build ... should/could have known.

Ah, the fun stuff starts ... finally

looks like the rigging is reasonably straight forward, and doesn't interfere with building at deck level

rigging ... will you be using EZ-line or something equal?

rightclick on them and select delete or doubleclick and press the "Delete" key

NIce work on the galleys

It's not about dull contrast...its about accuracy.  Light lanyards are not accurate....ever.

Then again if you are show-boating.

There you are wrong Rob, for then the model should be painted accurately as well. It's up to the builder in my opinion, which has nothing to do with "show-boating" as you call it

glad you discovered your "error" with the knees in time. Beautiful workmanship again on the wooden parts. How did you "solder" the hatch rings? It looks almost like welding when I see the clip on the scisors ...

Sorry to hear that Pat. My sincere condolences

darker is dull, lighter more contrasting. It depends on how you want to show her - the ship in total - and how much you want to have singular parts stand out. When I look at the metal work against the wood, the ropes from your hammock nettings ...  you need to look at the bigger picture and look at it from a distance, not from close up.

Very impressive though

IT and directives in gov'ment hands makes me sick ... I could go on and on about it, but I'd rather see that worm take shape.

those laws won't protect you against google Pat.

looking forward to that replacement worm

Yea, that figure stands atop the tank

For now he won't budge, being trapped with his foot ...

RGL, I still need to start at SMS Seydlitz!!

(I wonder if most non-native English speakers "get" the pun wefalk ...)

Very impressive Kortes. I am enjoying your build tremendously

Nice find Lou!

interesting, and effective method I'd say

Sorry to hear about your health Dan, hope it isn't serious ... heat related? Heard downunder is hit with a bit of a wave ...

Sydney opera house ... well, that's a different cookie

I spent a day preparing the booms plus some pulleys to go on the boom

At least you had something to do ...

I feel the same way when I watch someone play the piano. The thing is as you know its the practice that is the key, and each piece affords a little more knowledge of the puzzle on the best way to proceed.

That's how the modest masters always put it ...
