I have enough trouble gluing two pieces of plastic together while a Master Artisan can do this.....

He doesn't need to paint his works of art as the quality of work speaks for itself.

After clicking the photo I see the cable reels are for a towed array. Nice, as well as the wooden props and even a hand wheel on the scuttle!

Very elegant in an unusual and individual modeling style! A pretty narrow base for display, but I assume you have no cats or frequent earthquakes.

Looking forward to the adventures of the next project!

Great to review your old projects. Inspiration to continue scratching away at as many components I can. Making good progress on the 40 mm twin Bofors. I haven't yet devised a good method of scratch building the bulwark racks for holding the 40 mm clips.

Cheers: Tom
