Tim Moore Posted December 23, 2022 Author #61 Posted December 23, 2022 December 23. On this date last year I completed my Fifie, and started soon after on a non ship build, a Fiat 806, which was a blast. After that I began this Mikasa, which has gone on for a stretch but is now nearing completion. Thought it about time to think about what’s next. Decided on something entirely different again, before another ship. Was going to do the Italeri 1:12 Bugatti, but it doesn’t seem to be available yet, so inspired by Grant’s (gjdale) excellent Shipyard diorama from Sierra West, I had a chat with Brett Gallant in Texas this morning, and have ordered one of his fascinating and detailed Craftsman kits. Happy holidays to everyone! The weather is frightful but our hobby is delightful. mtaylor, Canute, yvesvidal and 2 others 5 Quote Tim Moore Perfect is the enemy of good In progress DH.9a Ninak, 1/32, Wingnut Wings Docked for Repairs IJN Pre-Dreadnought Battleship Mikasa, 1:200, Hobby Boss On Deck The Blue Sky Company, 1:48, Sierra West Models Completed Triumph 3HW, 1/9, Italeri; Fiat 806 Grand Prix 1:12, Italeri; Fifie 1:32, Amati Victory Model; HMS Bounty 1:48, Artesania Latina; Endeavour 1:60; Corel; Miss Severn 1:8, Legend Model Boats; Calypso, Billing Boats; Carmen Fishing Trawler, A.L. ; Dallas Revenue Cutter, A.L., Bluenose, A.L.
LyleK1 Posted December 23, 2022 #62 Posted December 23, 2022 Tim, As usual, your work is impeccable. Looking forward to seeing the finished battleship. The Sierra West website is very interesting and reminds me of my fathers work on his railroad diorama's that he assembled throughout my childhood! I'd be curious to know how these kits are assembled. I just finished my second year on the Bounty and am working on the masting and rigging. Happy holidays to you and your family! The weather here is dreadful as well... but improving!

Tim Moore Posted December 24, 2022 Author #63 Posted December 24, 2022 (edited) Thanks Lyle, seasons greetings to you and your family out there! Yes my kids have been complaining about the snow on Vancouver Island, but it looks like things will be melting and get back to the usual rain next week. Your Bounty is looking good. I chose the Sierra product because I like the idea of exploring some different fabrication, painting and weathering techniques, and to get back to woodworking. I’ll probably modify things a bit, do some experimentation. Might start incorporating some dioramas on future models so this might be a good intro into that.
