Ryland Craze Posted January 23 #2 Posted January 23 Congratulations on finishing this beautiful model. I looked at your build log on your webpage https://geneberger-models.com/uss-olympia-c-6/ and have added two pictures of your finished Olympia to show to the members. The model of your Olympia is outstanding and the water is so lifelike. This is definitely an award winning model.

shipman Posted January 23 #4 Posted January 23 I must say how realistic this model appears. It's always been my view that a similar working model on a pond always looks contrived, no matter how accurate its detail. Thanks for sharing. hollowneck and Canute 2 Quote

Mollusc Posted July 4 #20 Posted July 4 Your model is a work of art, I've joined this community while building my first little fishing boat and found your beautiful ship as I looked around the gallery etc. It's like someone who sketches stick figures stumbling across the Sistine Chapel! I'm going through your own website to really enjoy the build log, so can I ask how you made the sweeping brushes/brooms that the crew are cleaning the deck with please? Apologies if that sounds trivial considering the rest of your masterpiece Mollusc. Ryland Craze, Canute, mtaylor and 1 other 4 Quote
