Did not have too much time lately, but today managed to do a tiny-tiny bit :-)

 

First lashed the guns as defined by the Navy Board  ...

 

 

... then tried out the hammock cranes ...

 

 

 

 

... and with connecting rope ...

 

 

... :-)

Hi Daniel, I hadn't looked in before and ever so sorry I hadn't - this is a stunning example of the application of experience and determination - absolutely beautiful diorama.

 

It's made my day - thanks

it is unique,  because it has two purposes.......to try out new ideas and techniques,  and as a diorama when the ideas and techniques are successful!  wonderful work Daniel..........it's obvious to see all of the thought that went into them    nice!

Hi Daniel -- I am simply in awe of your skills in working with such fine detail.  Beautiful and fascinating.

 

Cheers,

Thank you all for the kind words :-)

 

By now, this build was incorporated into my big Victory build as it developed into a test for several features over there.

 

Please refer to this link to see the whole documentation full of drama, blood and gore :-)

Abso-fooken-lutely stunning, Dafi !!!!!

 

Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go pick up my jaw. I dropped it some three or four pages back.

Great work Dafi - very realistic weathering, especially on the anchor.

 

cheers
