[chriswil42]

[MSea]

Comin together ninely.

No Chris coming together slowly
Some more work done on the rigging and rails.

[MSea]

Some figures and coal sacks added to the ship

[zak]

Nice details.

[MSea]

Thanks Zak - now to try and get some coal sacks being transferred from the coal ship to the battleship and finish the etch brass rails in the Orel

[MSea]

Coal sacks added and both ships now fastened down - some work to do on the sea when they are solid and the anchor chain to add as well

[zak]

That looks very effective.

[MSea]

Thanks - I am happy with the way it has turned out - but waiting to get the comments from Haddock ( rigging nor correct, not enough stays on the funnel, coal sacks not hanging correct but heyho it has kept me quiet for a while hohohoh)

[chriswil42]

A very nice model Martin. A diorama with a difference. I like it.

[Haddock]

Your imagination knows no bounds.
Haddock.

[MSea]

In other word Haddock --- its more science fiction than science fact - hohoho

[cph64]

Looks great, the rigging is a lot better than my attempts. With the size of those sacks I wouldn't want to be a Coalman on that round.

[MSea]

Last of the etch brass rails added and another coat of sea put in to make the ship look like its in the water not floating above it. Colour to add to the sea and the Orels anchor chain fitted.

[MSea]

Final coat of plaster of paris added.

[chriswil42]

You're completing a few more ships now Martin. A fleet to rival Mr Haddock's?
