Outstanding skills on show.

My carpet monster has enough parts to build a small ship!

You did have to go and mention the carpet monster didn't you. Just lost a piece of glazing about 6mm square. Drat.

[MSea]

You WILL find it - mine was about one by one and half mm- but it did take me 2 days.

I also have a cushion floor monster that eats parts!!!!

One of the 2 guns on the ships alongside the wheelhouse.
The triangular plastic base will be cut off and the barrel added to the etch brass base - would anybody even know ? Haddock would and he  take me to task, so onward with the etch brass.

[MSea]

Six inch gun painted and first photo shows it close up and the second one shows what most people will see at the distance they will look from.

Hi Msea,
Nothing wrong with them Matey.
Keep it up.
Cheers,
Bigkev

The 2 guns alongside the wheelhouse have now had the barrels removed from the plastic bit and fastened to the etch brass base.

[MSea]

Some of the 75mm guns mounted along the ships sides and the two 63.5mm Baranovsky guns alongside the wheelhouse.

Excellent work Martin.

[cph64]

I agree. He's got a steadier hand than me to achieve that!!!

[MSea]

Thanks C & C - but still trying to get to 50% Haddock standard.

[kiwichappers]

A noble aspiration Martin and I think you're well over the 50% threshold.

[MSea]

Thank you Francis but not when you see what the master can produce - as I always say "know your place"
