Ian_Grant Posted March 8 #211 Posted March 8 "Wow" just doesn't cut it. Tackle hooks at 1/168 scale????!!!!!! In-cre-di-ble!!!!!!
Hubac's Historian Posted March 8 #212 Posted March 8 Indeed - a very clever representation! We are all works in progress, all of the time.
72Nova Posted March 8 Author #213 Posted March 8 (edited) Ian, I try to push myself to see how much detail I can actually add and get away with it without looking too bulky. Thank you for the compliment! Thank you, Marc, short cuts obviously have to made at this scale to look somewhat convincing, which can be a blessing, I guess, I may have to start the 1:96 Cutty Sark after this to hone my skills on the larger scale...hehe.

Hubac's Historian Posted March 8 #214 Posted March 8 Oh, that would be a treat! Like Kevin, you would work wonders with that kit. We are all works in progress, all of the time.

72Nova Posted March 9 Author #216 Posted March 9 Kevin's build along with less than a handful are the benchmarks for sure. Hi Shipman, I bought mine about 20 years ago and she's been begging me to build her, when I do, I'll build it bare stick, ironically the Revell Cutty Sark was my very first ship model back in 1969 at age 10, completed it in like 10 days, I did not paint it but did rig it completely. I finally have the gun tackles and ring bolts completed on the forecastle and main decks, quite the exercise, 14 left to do.

Kevin-the-lubber Posted 22 hours ago #217 Posted 22 hours ago This is an amazing build Michael, I will need to read the whole log as at first I thought this was a scratch build, wood POF at something like 1:78! Your Victory is beautiful too, and as for the Vasa - gosh, you really do rise to the challenge, don't you!
