Pitr- Absolutely stunning! May I ask how much the Mercury kit costs? I have considered trying a paper kit, but don't know where to get one here in the States. If I did, this would be my choice! Than you, Rick

You can find it on this site above. The kit is a bit expensive $450 but as far as card models go it's top-notch.

Thanks a lot Rick. I'm trying to do my best. I admit, however, that "I caught the sun with a hoe" (such a Polish proverb). I should start with HMS Alert, for example. This is also a paper laser cut kit in 1:72 scale. Well, since I already started, I will end it sooner or later. Regards, Potr.

Jak to mówią lux robota. Powiedziałbym nawet, że to słońce nie jest aż tak daleko. Z tego co zrozumiałem lawety zarobiłeś sam,liny tak samo, o całym wyposażeniu nie wspominam bo to jest naprawdę trudna i piękna robota. Mogę Ci zaproponować inne powiedzenie: "Im trudniej tym łatwiej". Siedzisz w motoryzacji to może nawet autora będziesz znał Krzychu "Dokurviator". Ja zazdroszczę(pozytywnie) i kibicuję


As they say lux work. I would even say that the sun is not that far away. From what I understand you made the trailer yourself, the ropes as well, not to mention all the equipment, because it is really a difficult and beautiful job. I can offer you another saying: "The harder the easier". You are in the automotive business, so maybe you will even know the author Krzychu "Dokurviator". I envy (positively) and cheer for you

Dzięki Wielkie. Przyznaję , że brak mi cierpliwości, a i wzrok już nie ten . To zresztą jeden z powodów oprócz ciągłego braku czasu, że "bike" stoi w kącie i się kurzy. Skoro jak już pisałem zacząłem to skończę , no chyba że sam się wcześniej wykończę . Pozdrawiam, Piotr.

Thanks a lot. I admit that I lack patience and my eyesight is not that good anymore. This is one of the reasons, besides the lack of time, that the "bike" is standing in the corner and getting dusty. Since I have already started, I will finish it, unless I finish myself earlier . Best regards, Piotr.

Bowsprit again.

I checked the garage for the first time in months. I managed to do a few small things with the bowsprit.

One day at a time, one step at a time get it done.

I hope so.

Finally, compare the size of the hull. HMS Mercury in 1:72 scale and below, the started hull of HMS Surprise in 1:48 scale.

A Little more progress.

Beautiful workmanship I'm following with great interest.

Thank you for the kind words. I saw you were building HMS "FLY". I bought one too and it is waiting for its turn. But first I have to finish HMS "MERCURY", and I also started HMS "SURPRISE" in 1:48 scale. But I can see that the garage is getting crowded. That's why I'll finish "MERCURY" first. Hope I have enough patience. Best regards from Poland.
