firdajan Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share #31 Posted April 3, 2013 Thanks, Chuck, I´m glad that model is nice to you And, you´re right - it is. I´m adding some more pictures of the finished model. Nexttime I´ll try to take some pictures of the ship during twilight, but I have to wait for a better weather.

mtaylor Posted April 3, 2013 Share #33 Posted April 3, 2013 Jan, That finished up to be a stunning model. I hope you'll keep it somewhere safe as it's a masterpiece.

SawdustDave Posted June 8, 2014 Share #36 Posted June 8, 2014 (edited) Hi Firdajan: Browsing build logs tonight....ran across your magnificent La Couronne build. WOW! You are a very talented artist sir. Your photography is equally impressive. I am completely blown away. The La Couronne has a very special place in my heart because it was my first attempted scratch build. Enjoyed it, but did a very poor job....so I increased the scale and built her again. Although much better the second time, still nowhere near the quality of your work. Now on my 10th project after taking a two year break....enjoying getting back to my shop. The link below my signature will take you to my two La Couronne builds. Thanks for sharing your work.
