    Hi all,
     
    This is definitely my last model, and it will have to remain unfinished due to my health issues. However I did manage to get a long way into it before the eyes and body gave up on me, so I do have a lot of pics I can share with you. I'll have to keep the text down to a minimum I'm afraid.
     
    Ir's a Card (surprise surprise  ) diorama of the Hamburg docks circa late 1930's complete with a freighter in dock. The kit was published by HMV, and is quite complex. Printing and instructions were very good.

    Just for fun I thought I'd make a few of the various types of boxes and drums to see how much was involved - not too bad considering the drums are only 4 mm high :
    The hull of the freighter, a waterline model of course :


    The decks and hatches are fitted next :

    So sad to hear, but very excited to see how far you made it. You’re work is quite the work of art. I recently picked up an HMV and am very glad to hear that the instructions and printing are good.

    I built the same model, though an earlier version of the Revell kit, when I was still in school 53 years ago. It was one of my favourite Plastic models. I painted it in a similar colour to this one, although more on the metallic turquoise side.
     
    Thanks for bringing back the memories  . A pity it got lost years ago.
