What a model! What a display! And the trophy alongside it. Brilliant.
But how do you follow that?

Thank you very much for your nice lines. Unfortunately, I don't understand your question, which is probably due to the fact that the English language and I are simply not best friends. I translate everything with DeepL.
But maybe someone can help? @Uwek ? --> Gern auch auf Deutsch...

Honestly, I don't think I can get any better. In a way, the Mercury is my masterpiece. But I'm also trying to build my next models as well as possible. I have now started with the Columbus Fleet from Shipyard, look here: https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/...s-ships-from-1492-shipyard-company-1-96.9640/
This is just a fabulous piece of work, and so impressively well-done! Cheers to you!
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag 
Dein Modell der Mercury sieht wirklich toll aus

The kit is 1:72 are the figures the same scale? and did you purchase or make them? You have done a magnificent job on the build of the Mercury from beginning to end!
Some of the figures are also in 1:72, from a figure set from HÄT. The rest are figures from the Victory kit from d'Agostini or individual figures from Krick in 1:86, but the difference is so small that it is not noticeable.
And thank you for the kind words!
I have built the 1/250 JSC SMS Goeben But rescaled the kit to 1/350. I had problems in that whatever instructions that came with the kit were very sparce and quite uninformative. I have asked in the thread whether or not there were instructions, meaning detailed instructions that a novice to paper-card modeling could follow. Your HMS Mercury is exquisite!Some of the figures are also in 1:72, from a figure set from HÄT. The rest are figures from the Victory kit from d'Agostini or individual figures from Krick in 1:86, but the difference is so small that it is not noticeable.

Yes, the kit comes with quite extensive instructions in English, Polish and German. Even if not all questions could be answered, these instructions were very helpful. For the rigging, however, I used various reference books because I wanted to build as historically accurate as possible.
Bonden,
Your English is far better than my German! Thank you for responding!
