themadchemist Posted October 21, 2014 Share #781 Posted October 21, 2014 Very much deserved! Congratulation Dafi, XXXDAn, DAniel or Daniel, which ever personality is reading this. Your an inspiration to many and to think I use to look down on plastic models and you changed all that ignorant thinking. Now I consider your work some of the best performed in any medium and medium no longer matters as a build is only as good as the builder, not what they use. You've also taught me and I'm sure others with the "No Fear" deconstruction you perform repeatedly. Just when I think its perfect, you deconstruct and it turns out even better than before. But most of all, your willingness to share in your experiences, so that we all may learn with you. To a true Master and Mentor of the art, CHEERS and CONGRAULATIONS! popeye the sailor, popeye2sea, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Appearently the draught marks were made of lead, so I tried it out and colored them grey. Fits to the ones from the Royal George http://collections.rmg.co.uk/collections/objects/63420.html Looks cute :-) And as I am famous for jumping from one extreme to the other, now something completely different: After the extrem aft, now the extrem front ;-) Also colored the draught marks ... ... and build the lids of the small port. Rectangular looks different ;-) Painted ... ... placed and marked the holes of the fittings ... ... and stuck them provisorily into place. Yo, even the old witch´s house in Ludwigsburg´s fairy tale garden looks more rectangular ... ... really!

dafi Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share #795 Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) One should always stick to his original plans ... ... in a moment of fancy and craziness I decided to move the date of appearance of the model from mid August to the first minutes of the battle. "... cathead shot away ..." sounded quite interesting and with a well aimed and highly qualified chop I severed the cathead and the result was just as I wanted it to be :-) But then the disillusionment, yes even panic: I did not read the source to the end, as it was "... starboard ..." :-( OKOKOK, glued back the cathead and returned to plan A, where I know the sources better ... ... better it is ... ... ... jo!
