K63 HMS Picotee 1941 1/48 scale early short forecastle Flower Class Corvette

Congratulations, JJ. I think you know I'm a huge fan of this ship model, and an even greater admirer of your skills.

Now, about that modern base holding up an historic ship model ROTF...
Thank you Paul, proud you like her. As for the stand it is not as modern as you think, that bit of mdf. was left over from a garden shed I made twenty years ago. Thumbsup

Kind Regards JJ..
 
My congratulations as well! Your craftsmanship and skill truly shine through in this build; the Corvette looks absolutely wonderful. Kudos to you for achieving such a fine result!
Course you no what I am going to say, 'Where the heck am I going to put it?'

Thanks for the nice words. JJ..
 
This was a a fun journey to follow. Happy I could support, if only a little. Happy for you that you can call it the end. And what a great ship she is. And perhaps even more importantly, I’m pretty sure nobody in the forum would have known HMS Picotee. So there. Well done.
Couldn't agree more with you Marco. I look at that one photograph of K63 and see the crew standing about relaxing, just shooting the breeze and sun bathing. And think that just few weeks later they are all dead, lost in the chilly waters of the Artic.

Cheers my friend.
