Bob,

 

Beautiful work but your pictures are out of focus.  Please take new ones and also include some closeups showing interiors through the open areas in the deck and hull.

Bob,

 

It is indeed a beautiful model, and I've been quietly following your log. 

 

I believe the slight fuzziness in the photos is due to camera movement, not out of focus.  If you blow up a detail, it appears to be more linear motion, rather than a "circle of confusion".  A more rigid tripod or camera support, and perhaps a remote shutter release or self timer rather than a finger on the button might do it.

 

Congratulations on completing a fine model.

Thanks so much Albert, mpeltier and Richard.

 

Richard, I'm sure you're right and I appreciate the advice, but I'm afraid that I consider photography as more of a chore than something that I want to spend time on. Mpeltier, for that reason, I doubt that my next efforts would be a whole lot better than these. As to photos of the interior, I have previously recorded all of the interior work, in much better detail than anything that can now be seen (much of it is hidden entirely, or almost so).

I'm clearly late to the party, but congratulations Bob on completing such a fine looking model, greatly enjoyed following your progress and looking to see whats next...

[KenW]

Another great model!  I have admired your skill ever since I discovered your build logs.

In fact, I find myself referring  to this build as I progress on my latest build attempt.  You are giving me much appreciated help.

Great work and I can't wait to see your next project.

Cheers.

[rafine]

Thanks so much Jason and Kenn.

I was looking for build log for Halifax and found this thread. Your  thread has inspired me to make this kit my next build.

 

Top notch craftsmanship.
