RUSSIAN PRE-DREADNOUGHT TSESAREVICH 1917

Your scratch build looks excellent.

[Kiteman]

I could tell that it was scratch build...well done, most excellent

               More boats, there are six like this. They all have the same disease, the gunwales are miles over-scale and the thwarts sit too high in the hull. Bit of Beesting butchery soon puts that right. Should look better under a coat of paint.

Presumably that is a before and after, one looks a lot thicker than the other.
The cleanliness of your work always astounds me!

[Haddock]

Yes, before and after. Would be better if I could see what I was doing.

Should of gone to 'Specsavers!'

But bloody brilliant anyway!!!

[Kiteman]

I dont really know what the names mean (not being a nautical man) but the modelling looks superb.
PS i had thwarts as a kid and the doctor froze them off...

[Haddock]

Did it make your eyes water?

[Haddock]

Thwarts are seats and the gunwale is the "edge" of the boat.

[Kiteman]

Thanks for that Haddock, ist always good to learn something new, and yes it made my eyes water.

[Bigkev]

Another miniature masterpiece in the making!

No1  First lot of boats in place.

No2 I sometimes think I need my bumps feeling, that's a 0.3mm drill through 0.9mm plastic. All will be revealed if it works.

Much too small for me.

[Haddock]

                           Another boat in place plus its derrick and some bits of string to tart it up a bit. Definitely bump-feeling country this

great work Haddock, but what is "bump feeling country"?
