Axel Thorsen 1810 in scale 1/72 build by Dubz Modelling World

Thank you for you comments and likes guys, very much appreciated!

So Party is over, Handrail done :-D

Unfortunately, it is very fragile and broke already in one place (I must mention again what a suboptimal design it is to place the joints NOT on the stanchions), and now there is a small bend visible.

I am quite happy with the small detail additions and the metal stanchions; I think they round off the picture nicely.

Happy Birthday. Ship-1

It's really hard to get the scale right when you look at your model. You look at the cannons and the boat next to them, and the steering wheel looks like it belongs in a different model, and you realize how big those cannons were. What an interesting model!
 
Dirk,
Just found your log - Such excellent work that also, parenthetically, include supperb jpg. images -

Will go back spending time admiring your other logs.....
