Ahoy Paul,

What a ship, what splendour, what skill! I am absolutely thrilled by this construction and your craftsmanship. As you can see, it is important not only to demonstrate skill, but also perseverance and not to give up! You have truly done this par excellence. Hats off to you, I take my hat off to you. This is a model that I would love to immerse myself in and explore every inch of with my eyes. Thank you for this wonderful construction and thank you for sharing it with us. Now you must take a rest first. A little break and then I look forward to a new project from a master model builder... Exclamation-Mark

Thank you for these kind words, Gunther. This model was actually finished quite some time ago and has just popped up again.

Hello Friends! After a bit of an internal struggle as to whether or not I wanted to create another build report, here I am back in a familiar spot (but on an unfamiliar side of the forum). One of my particular flaws is I don’t like to do the same thing twice. My first ship model was a...

I like the fact that they do pop up again. We can revisit some great builds and relearn forgotten lessons.

Thanks, SS. I enjoyed this build - it pushed me to onboard some scratch building skills that opened some modeling doors for me.

Very inspiring, Paul, as always! The detail and clean, tiny carpentry is something to aspire to. Going through your pictures has landed me back out in the garage to get more done on my current project. Hope you've moved out of the doghouse (and back into the house).
