Siggi52 Posted January 8, 2023 Author #818 Posted January 8, 2023 Hello JJ, Tiger is well and waiting for me to take action again. I started carefully and repaired some things from the spring. The last fall went into a sunny and mild fall and I bought me a pedelec to cruise through the near and far neighbourhood. And because my meniscus did't protest, also for shopping to the next town. So my car had mostly holiday 😉 But to stay with the subject of this forum. If there weren't the supporters for the cathead! But at least I haven't any more excuses not to start, so I will start at the shipyard very soon.

druxey Posted January 27, 2023 #830 Posted January 27, 2023 I find getting these 'just right' the hardest challenge in a model, as they curve in all planes.

dvm27 Posted January 27, 2023 #833 Posted January 27, 2023 While I tend to build in a highly stylized manner I can certainly appreciate that your model probably comes closer to the actual ships appearance than any other model on this site.
