Nice job, Dimitris.  The beauty of scratch building, is that you can get it exactly the way you want it, so the extra effort is definitely worthwhile.  

Thank you very much mate!! :) :)

G'day Dimitris

Marvellous delicate work you are doing there. Are you going to the paint whole thing white or just the top of it. It would be a shame to cover up some great work with paint! 

Havagooday my friend. BTW I thought all 12 life boats wou ld be done by now! Lol

Hello mate, thank you for nice words and comments...I'll be thinking the amount of work these boats needs.... :( :( lol. When the boats take place on the racks ..it's a bit difficult to see underneath...
