Hi Uwek
Hi WojtasS,Like I said it's only suggestion
Thank you for your nice comment Algol1957.Looks great! Fabulous work and that too at a very difficult scale.
Hi Norgale,Man, with a room full of wood and tools and machinery I couldn't build anything any where near as good as this guy builds with just stuff laying around the house. This is brilliant. When this model is finished it would be welcome in any museum. This is a most impressive model build. Pete
Considering you developed the entire model's shape on your own, it looks very good. Because your model is small in scale it's much more difficult to make the details look sharp. My first model was 1:100 scale, and the greatest challenge was painting small things with straight lines and square angles. Painted items begin to appear blobby and in consistent when painted by hand on a small scale, at least with my hands. If you want to see incredibly precise hand painting on a micro scale, look at @dockattner's Wasa. It's so tempting to try to pack all the details from a 1:48 scale model into a 1:100 scale one, but it's incredibly difficult.Hi Norgale,
Thank you for the fantastic comment.
Due to my financial situation it makes me feel a little down having to scratch around to find stuff to make my models instead of having these great kits that you other guys have.
But that comment has given me the boost that I really needed thank you.
Hi Tobias,Hello Martin,
I can understand your situation, we had already talked about it. However, I must honestly say that you are doing an excellent job with what you have available and that one or two others can take a leaf out of your book and I am not excluding myself. I wouldn't have had the courage to do it, so I respect you because I think that's what makes a true master builder.
