the learner Posted May 5, 2016 #541 Posted May 5, 2016 The blades definately need to be shown verticle on the sweeps but perhaps on a slight angle aft? it would make for a bit thinner case. great job on the dolphins. michael mott, Canute, WackoWolf and 1 other 4 Quote Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line

Wintergreen Posted May 9, 2016 #543 Posted May 9, 2016 Exellent work, as everyone else already have stated. Truly excellent. Maybe a little late about the sweeps and their artwork. From one picture it is clear that all dolphins are painted equal on all twelve sweeps. Doesn't that imply that half the population will swim up-side-down when the sweeps are at their stations? Unless you've painted them on both sides and the picture fooled me somehow. cog, Canute, Jack12477 and 3 others 6 Quote Happy modelling!

druxey Posted May 9, 2016 Author #546 Posted May 9, 2016 Well, the sweeps are now fixed in position, after a rare weekend off work. Hopefully I made the right call on displaying them in this way. I still have the two ensigns to complete and fly on their staffs before calling it quits. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Thanks to all who have looked in, 'liked', commented, complimented and discussed her. It's been quite the experience.
