Coyote_6 Posted October 31 #91 Posted October 31 Love the varied F4F schemes - adds a lot of character. And the figure poses are well thought out - really telling a story here Peter.

PvG Aussie Posted October 31 Author #93 Posted October 31 8 hours ago, Canute said: Only nit is the officers on the bridge were in khakis and black shoes, not dress whites or dungarees. Ken, I'll have a go at fixing their uniform but seeing they are smaller than some 'nits' I've seen, I hope I don't make a mess. Thanks for the 'pick-up'.

PvG Aussie Posted November 1 Author #94 Posted November 1 (edited) All tasks completed. The leader flies. and the ship has a stand and plaque! The Enterprise is finished and ready to sail to the Emu Park Historical (Maritime) Museum. That's right. It's going straight to the coast to join an earlier boat. 'The German U-Boat SM U9' I'm very happy with the Enterprise and would like to sincerely thank those who have followed my progress. There is no greater honor than to be complimented by your peers! The Gallery images can be found here. The Admiral wants a few jobs to be done, so I may not be on deck for a while. 😎 Until then and happy modelling!

NavyShooter Posted November 1 #96 Posted November 1 BZ! This is a beautiful build! Your work with the photo-etch is fascinating to me. That stuff honestly scares me!
