  1. Nils, there is something wrong with these seating passengers. Either they all have short legs, or the benches are way too high or they are not at the proper scale for this boat. It is disturbing on an otherwise beautiful model. Are these little people, Chinese toys? Since you live in Europe, you should look for PREISER figures at 1/48 scale. They are by far the best quality. Yves
  2. It does to me too. This will be patched and re-painted. Yves
  3. Tom, It looks like you have been spending some serious money recently. I call that an investment. Yves
  4. This will be giant and very heavy.....Excellent idea to cut it in three modules. Yves
  5. Amazing results for a plastic model. Kudos. That is a beautiful boat with a Latin rigging. Yves
  6. For those of you who are as fanatic as I am about the 2001 Discovery ship, there is a fantastic reproduction made by a Japanese company: https://discovery-one.hlj.com/ Their model is exquisitely detailed and goes way beyond what Moebius did with their 1/144 kit. The ART MASTER 3D model comes fully assembled and painted by Japanese artist. It measures 5 feet 4 long and is a replica at the scale of 1/10th of the original prop created by Kubrick and his team. The price is way crazy at more than $14,300 each plus an additional $650 shipping fees. Unfortunately, even if you had the money, the list of orders is already closed. Below are some pictures of the incredible ART MASTER 3D model: A truly magnificent piece of art. Yves
  7. Thank you guys for the encouragement and compliments. I truly appreciate every one of them. Yves
  8. None of the above :-) The Discovery pictures are from my Android phone. Everything about the submarine is from an old Sony camera, unable to focus at short distance. Yves
  9. Well, the deep space "submarine" Discovery XD-1 is now completed: It will be a little while before I go back to the U-Boot but who knows..... the urge may come back, quickly. Yves
  10. And we finally come to an end of this project. Discovery is now orbiting the giant Planet Jupiter I hope you have enjoyed that project. Yves
  11. This Spanish Economic Web site seems to imply that AL is "In liquidacion", meaning Chapter 11 in the USA, or "toasted" for the rest of the world: https://empresite.eleconomista.es/ARTESANIA-LATINA.html Yves
  12. Re.... Hmmmmmm Why would a Spanish company go to HongKong? So unstable and so far away from their normal territories. Maybe the wife convinced him.... That could be a disastrous situation. Maybe the "Son" does not care.... Yves
  13. Absolutely superb. You should move that thread to the Build Log area. Yves
  14. Beautiful and so peaceful. What a great cloister. Yves
  15. Great project Nils. When I was a kid, I was drooling on the Hjejlen kit in the Toulouse Hobby Shop (Ideal Models). I never got it but I always kept it dear in my heart. I am so glad you managed to find such a beautiful model and give it a second life. Yves
  16. Amazing. Thank you for the very detailed explanations on how you proceed to build the deck. Yves
  17. I stand corrected: monogram only produced the Roadster model: Your kit was distributed by Testors and Italeri. Yves
