Col Boy Posted May 30, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) hi new to boat modelling, started building recently when i retired from work. I’ve posted a few pics of my first attempts, lots of mistakes I’m sure, so don’t look to close. Lots of fun building and learning though! Criticism welcome, but be gentle... first up was Occres Ulysses next up was Amati fifie - really enjoyed this one on the bench and 75% complete Das Werk u9 ww1 uboat, I hope to display in the Das Werk naval dockyard diorama. Hope you enjoy Edited May 30, 2021 by Col Boy Pics upside down ccoyle, Edwardkenway and Keith Black 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_H Posted May 30, 2021 Share #5 Posted May 30, 2021 Welcome. The model looks great - even upside down. I don't think you can rotate them using the forum's tools, so you need to do it at source - on the camera or phone you took them on, or on the computer they passed through.

Baker Posted May 31, 2021 Share #12 Posted May 31, 2021 Photo's upside down, and nothing helps... Reduce the size of your photos, that should solve the problem.
