That, I'd love to see.

@angeleyes:

Since you've still got a lot to build from.
I'm curious to produce the models.

Love the humour in your writing, it must be of great comfort to be a good all-rounder, and sonic fast building as well -------- can't be all bad can it. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Well , at least we all agree it sucks but i am not the client so there.

My next project nearing completion is Lutzow from Combrig and then i will probably have to build some or all of the rest of the WW1 German BB available from Combrig for the same gent as he has indicated to me .Then is the USS Idaho 1945 from HP again not for me, then another 350 Hornet not for me, then another Hood not for me , then a USS Salem, then a Worcester, .......now that i am thinking of it, i dont think i have actually any spare time to build anything for me .To be honest , one model i would put up in my living room would be a 1/350 Fuso so i might be lucky this year :big_grin:

I got a few new tool Futzimi kits last week, and i must say i am all to excited about them.Specially the new Akagi 1/700 since i have the Lion Roar super set , but also the Nagato, and the ISE , Taiho.Ill try to built the Nagato first , but also working on a non commission that i will eventually put up for sale once completed 'a 1/350 Yamato with super detail in a very dramatic (what else hey?) seascape.

Might this have been the doomed martian tripod in [url=http://www.starshipmodeler.info/contest13/dio_05.htm]Marco Scheloske's [i]Thunderchild[/i] diorama[/url]?

I admire your tenacity in building stuff you may not want to do; the reason why I build to please myself only--much as I am sure you would do also if not pressured by the need to make your models earn food and shelter ...!!... :big_grin:

clients eh ....!??? :doh_1:

This does remind me that may be pertinent to draw attention to the threads below again,

I seem to recall having seen another reasonably effective way of making 'balls' of smoke, using ( builders) expanding foam, makes a nice globular shape...and then painted convincingly translucently --that's the hard part!

sooooo .... your next project..? --something you would like to build for yourself also..? :wave_1: :wave_1:

I'm No friend of the German ships from the WW-II, but you have portrayed it very well. :thumbs_up_1:
It looks really great. :thumbs_up_1:

Allow me a note. The breaker on the back for my taste might not be represented as thick.

But otherwise, Top Model.

Tschau Olaf :wave_1:

To be totally blunt this reminds me of the film Forbidden Planet, and the id is attacking the Bismarck, this is the worse I have seen - although a very hard thing to capture (flame and smoke) there's action at the front, and a complete void at the rear, there's just nothing that looks like an explosion, huge ball of flame and smoke, no trail no falling debris water splashes, I am not pulling you to pieces, I am being as honest as I can.

That is frakking awesome!

Well done, sir, well done!

Bob

Its freakin awesome! Great job once again :woo_hoo:

Another one .I still dont like the smoke effect but oddly enough i still get requests to make it..got to take a Bismarck vacation soon.
This one the client wanted everything (wave, explosion, smoke) which rather obscures the model itself a bit too much , but it is not my call once again.
