As I have been getting closer to completion of Picotee I have been going over the ship touching up the paintwork and it is surprising the bits you think you have painted but then when you look close up using a camera you see the mistakes. e.g. these stanchions, they look painted to the naked eye.

Just a thought

I hate cameras. They don’t cheat.

I have come to the conclusion; that if I cannot see it ,it is not there.

Cheers JJ..

Please don't fret over the unpainted stanchion post. To me it just added another touch of perfect detail ( it could be rust) to an already perfectly detailed model.

Sound advice Jim, and I think I will go along with it.

Cheers JJ..

If it wasn't for the background I'd swear it was the real thing!

True story

 

[Jack Jäger]

This day eighty-five years ago HMS Picotee was launched after an almost record construction time of under four months. I am delighted to say that my Picotee is also completed. I was hoping to show a lot of photographs of her today but alas the ugly spectre of ill health has once again surfaced so there will be a bit of a delay. I did take this pic yesterday and I think my Picotee bears a reasonable resemblance to the real thing.

Hopefully back soon JJ..​

Look after yourself Jack- get well. Cheers Grant

 

[Marquinius]

First: I hope you get well soon.

Then: at first I thought you’d found another image of her … well done indeed.

Looking forward to a detailed finalising photo impression.

 

[dockattner]

If by reasonable resemblance you mean perfect - then I agree. Hope you feel better soon!

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!).

Thanks to everyone who has taken a look and your kind comments.
Cheers JJ..

[Jimsky]

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!

 

[Namabiiru]

Looks to me like a classic case of Honey, I shrunk the Picotee. No other explanation for having the original article in your workshop. Very impressive.

 

[dockattner]

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