Hello Paul,
I came across this wonderful build report of the Kingfisher by chance and enjoyed it very much. I must say how inspiring and first-class you have realized this model in terms of construction. I will adopt the construction method from you. The accuracy and precision with which you have built it is quite remarkable. Also your presentation stand and the display case, simply beautifully crafted. All three objects look outstanding. I am a big fan of your construction and presentation. Please keep it up.
I can't wait to see what you will do next.
Best regards
Günter

Thank you kindly, Gunter. I enjoyed this project and look forward to continuing on the forum with another build following a season of research and planning.

Hey Paul, looks like I’m late to the conclusion. It seems I am not getting updates.
Anyway, you really accomplished something special with this ship and I love the display! Congratulations!
Ps - if I ever finish my ship, you’re hired to build the display case!

I'll build your case, but I charge orthodontists' hourly rates

I could trade a Porsche 917K for your labor and materials…Thanks, Dean. I'm pretty happy with the outcome.

Not fair speaking my love language like that...I could trade a Porsche 917K for your labor and materials…
I knew it would work!
Beautiful Porsche! Congratulations on her too!
ps - I honestly considered giving it to you, but now that I can exploit you’re labor…
Paul, congratulations on completing the construction. This is a wonderful job, which you can be proud of. In a short period of time (relatively short) you have made a huge step forward and surpassed many in the quality of execution and work. It is always nice to see that a person develops in his hobby and takes steps forward. Once again, congratulations on completing the construction. The model is wonderful

Hello Paul, I'd also like to congratulate you on your masterpiece and its completion. It's been a pleasure following your construction over the past 28 months. You've done absolutely impressive craftsmanship on your Kingfisher. I hope to present a new project soon, after your break. Maybe even a self-made one, who knows.
Thank you for these nice words, Tobias. I have been busy on-boarding a few new tools and cleaning up my garage workshop these past several weeks. And I have also been shopping for european pearwood lumber. That can only mean one thing
- but perhaps a more modest project to get me started...
I'll message you.
Beautiful model, congratulations, great work!

What a journey, Paul. Thank you for having us all along for it. I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but second build or not, can we leave that all behind?! You've set a standard; few, if any, will achieve in such short order.
You've created a piece of art that transcends the model ship community. You don't have to be a modeler or a naval historian to appreciate your ship. Anyone who appreciates art and the artistry of creating something beautiful will appreciate your Kingfisher.
Well done.

Such nice words, Ken! My humble thanks!
I think that I mentioned to Paul in a Direct Message (DM), that he has become a Master Craftsman among us. Congratulations Paul on a beautiful showpiece.
