Let's move on to the last little ingredient with which I want to breathe a little more life into the model.

This gives the yawls more substance in the davits.



Next Back.



This causes anger on the part of the supervisor.



Take provisions with you.



Stand still.

I worked on this model for almost two and a half years. I thoroughly enjoyed creating such an extremely large ship model. Of course, it takes time, but every hour of crafting was worthwhile.

Trumpeter simply does a great job producing model kits. The fit is excellent, and the individual assemblies are logically coordinated in their construction and sequence. Furthermore, the outstanding detail set from Pontos deserves mention; it adds incredible depth to the model, even if a few minor errors crept in. This, however, gave me the opportunity to use plastic profiles to give the model the finishing touches. I gained a considerable amount of experience during this build and hope to apply it to my next project.

And here are the pictures of the finished model. Enjoy!

That is an exemplary build, I was captivated at each stage of assembly and as others have mentioned, the weathering is done to accurate perfection.

Very well done indeed Joelle.

Thank you so much, Buster.
I'm glad my mini build report captivated you.

Bei aller Liebe zum Detail, müssten die Wellenbrecher umgelegt sein, wenn die Stützen die sie stützen sollen allesamt umgelegt sind.

OK, please forgive me this small mistake.
