happy birthday Jerry!

cool looking helo.......what year are you planning on the Fife? back in 1987 the flight deck was enlarged so it could carry two helos.

depends on how much peril you want to put her in

amazing how they can get the helo in and out of there you've shown two possible ways to detail it out......either way, there's a lot to the interior. my son found me a 1:400 Heller kit of the Jeanne D'Arc. the kit comes with four Helicopters. have you found any helicopter kits that will fit the scale of your vessel? lots of ducting, the shelf/rack at the fore end and the rotor rack above. the model pictures look great.......but they forgot the no smoking sign you have your work cut out for you .....I'm sure you'll do a stunning job of it!

yup.....that's what I figured Kevin........the first progress picture was what I was thinking of you hadn't made that port side wall yet. I didn't want to comment...but my curiosity got the best of me. that will make for some really neat detail inside.

she's look'in good Russ......nice smooth hull. noting the outlines of the structures on deck, perhaps one use would be as a footing, as one goes fore to aft...or aft to fore.

I'm the same way.....I don't like to paint decks either. as I've seen though, some working boats do tend to have painted decks. it would be safe to say, that the wood grain deck is reserved for the sailing ship and pleasure crafts. I have done it though to a couple of my projects, and I like how they came out. as long as it works well with the subject. love the little boat.......so sweet to see the 'mini me' effect very nicely done........super progress
-
so nice to see her in the dry fit........the decks really look super aft deck looks sweet!
-
comparing the picture above with this one, it appears that the hangars are too far back. they should be flush with the aft section of the structure, and appear more boxy. is there a port side outer wall that you haven't added yet? no offence either......always good to know where you are with your project. it is from that picture though, that I see this.......perhaps something you haven't though of yet

thanks Piet shouldn't be long now noooo that would be one 'plaque' with a very short shelf life! it's hard to find a place where folks can get a decent piece of fish. we have a small family restaurant that does a nice feed........combine that piece of fish with some cole slaw and fries, and I'm happy. we have to go out to Hampton Beach to really get the good stuff.
