Mario,

 

I happened to just have posted something and in the "kits under const...." section, yours looked interesting so "clicked in" OMG I have just discovered an other amazing artist. So beautiful - love your work. The engine is, of course, insanely perfect. Your wood detailing also speaks for itself. Awesome build. I look forward to your updates, as I will now follow.

 

PS: the book and the cup are so "over the top" PERFECT.

 

Regards,

 

Michael

Mario,

 

Congratulations on completion of a beautiful model. I have taken away some very useful tips from you on detailing techniques - thanks for those. 

 

I also compliment you on getting the Union Flag the right way up despite the artwork on the kit box showing the flag upside down. Perhaps the manufacturer wanted to display a boat in distress on Windermere! :)  :)

Advice from my Grandfather to me. The only people who don't make mistakes are those who stand back and watch. The trick is not to repeat the error.
