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

This model is really inspirational. I’m sure your level is quite a jump for me, but that’s good. The master showing how it’s done. And typically without bragging. Well done!

I’m not even sure what more I can add to all my previous “WOW” comments; your model is absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the intricate details combined with the subtle weathering make her look impressively realistic. Bravo, Jack!

Thank you for saying so Jim, your views are much respected.

All the best JJ..

Honey, I shrunk the Picotee.

Thank you very much for the kind words Namabiiru, my wife,(she who must be obeyed), thinks I should shrink it a lot more and put it on a shelf in a book case!

Cheers JJ..

 

[Jack Jäger]

Stunning result, JJ. I remain in awe of your ability to actualize all the detailed structures at scale. Congratulations! Display her with pride.

Thank you Paul, Namabiiru has it solved. But I am glad she turned out quite nice as this will, most likely, be my last big build. Time and tide.... But then again I really do want to build HMS Lord Nelson!

Kind regards JJ..

Peter I always want more, and then some more please.

Cheers JJ..

I’m sure your level is quite a jump for me

I suspect you will build a ship better than I ever have. And who says I don't brag? Again thank you very much for your help and insight. JJ

Although HMS Picotee is now completed it will be a while before I can make a stand and remove it from my workshop. So I thought I would show some more pics.. Where Picotee is sitting it is hard to photograph other than the port side,(except the first few that are older!).
