VTHokiEE Posted July 26, 2020 #331 Posted July 26, 2020 Thanks! It’s good to know that it’s a little up to be, unfortunately now indecision has set in. I have also run across a black trucked carriage to add to the mix. Of course any of the three should look great so not a bad quandary to have. I appreciate the details!

Gahm Posted July 27, 2020 #333 Posted July 27, 2020 Congratulations on your finished Alert! What a beautiful model! Unfortunately I missed your whole building phase - too many "distractions" caused by non-modeling issues. I hope I can do better with your next project 🙂 Thomas Blue Ensign 1 Quote Current Built: Model Shipways Syren (US Brig 1803) Last Built: Anfora (kit bashed) Ictineo II (1st steam powered submarine 1864)

Blue Ensign Posted July 28, 2020 Author #335 Posted July 28, 2020 Thank you Nils, Thomas, and Rusty, Alert makes up into a very attractive model One final tweak before the cover goes on, I utilised the NMM plan of Alert to cover the large expanse of varnished wood on the base. 6354(3) 6357(2) Improves the effect I think. Regards, and thank you all for taking an interest in this build.

DelF Posted July 28, 2020 #336 Posted July 28, 2020 That plan finishes the whole display off very nicely. Another superb model from the Blue Ensign dockyard and another idea I'll steal adopt.
