WOW!  Outstanding work at any scale, doubly so at 1:300!

 

Bravo!

Gabriel I have always been enthralled by small scales.  I am going to pull up a chair and drool with amazement if that is okay with you.   Good work.

Hi,

 

Now I start wondering. In previous posts you showed a full hull, now it is only a startboard half. Did you build i as a full hull, and then split in halvee, or did you build two halves, that you clamped together for the pictures in your first post?

Also: in some pics it looks as if the decks are build directly into the hull, but you also show a deck out of the hull.

Can you explain a bit on your methods?

Hi Gabriel

 

I'm a bit late to offer my compliments, but I was wondering the same thing, too.

 

Great job, by the way!

 

Cheers

first the hull was one  piece , then split it in two half , so I could work inside.now it's like a puzzle , all pieces can be assembled or disassembled as y need.

Several years ago one of my fellow club members was helping out on a project for the museum and he took his finished model to the band saw and cut it down for  diorama.  I forget the name of the model though.

Very carefully :(  :huh:  and then a shot afterwards to settle his nerves and trembling hands. :)  :D

Why do you have three foot tall pencils lying next to your model? Or is it really a normal pencil and is your model really that small?! I am amazed by the detaill you added to such a small model. Looking forward to your new updates
