Recommended Posts

I think someone needs to write a book entitled "Superlatives R Us" so that I could refer to it and find some words that haven't already been said here . . . but for now I'll just have to say ~  WOW! . . . Fantastic!

Jim.

 

I cut it twice . . . . . and it's still too short!

A special Christmas greeting to you Albert!  Thanks for sharing your HMS Naiad build with the MSW group this year.  I think it's pretty safe to say WE LOVE IT!  Your clean and precise model shipbuilding style catches everyone's eye.  It's a joy to watch you build. Thanks.  Only the best to you and those you love this coming new year.

This looks absolutely stunning. What is the model we can see in the back of the first picture, this looks like a very fine model too.

Treat each part as if it is a model on its own, you will finish more models in a day than others do in a lifetime. 

Current build HMS Kingfisher

Beautiful Albert,

 

the wooden joinery looks wonderful

I find it such a pitty that these intermediate decks and their fitting out can not be seen anymore, once the upper decks hinder the sight into the ship
