Hi Richard, I agree with you, only a Greman type could think a ship as.. Ok I will send you my complete Minerva plan, I'm very happy to have pushed you in the building a Minerva in a larger scale. If can be hseful for you I can send you also some pictures of the ship before and after the conversion in sperrbrecher.

Hello Jim!! I' m sorry, for my very slow responses in the forum, but I'm very busy in my job and also I went through a period of low modelling creativity. Now the job is always growing, but the modelling creativity looks back! I will carefully read your link in order to show again the lost pictures. Best wishes JIM BAUMANN wrote: Bento!!¬ excellent progress as usual. Its a shame that Image shack is so rubbish!-- most of your earlier image shave disappeared... Can you upload them using the MW.com way? viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1261that way the images will be permanent! Best wishes Jim Baumann

The entire hull was built with plasticard, I covered the hull lines with a double layer of plastic strips. I preferred the plastic instead the most popular wood because, in my opinion, it is better to built hull, deck and upper structures on the same material.

Bento,
The builder is always the harshest critic. You needn't worry, your Minerva is beautiful! It is an interesting subject and you have rendered it very well. I have to keep reminding myself that this is 1:400, and not a much larger scale.
In your early posts the hull was mostly finished. How did you construct the hull? What materials?
Phil

Thanks, you are all very kind!! This is for me a good support because, specially during the working process of my models, normally I'm never satisfied of the result and I tend to see mainly the imperfections. It's a my, serious, problem or the same has ever happened to you?
