After EJ's comment in another thread I've measured the waves. Poelau Laut is doing more than 15 knots which is a bit fast for her. Official service speed was only 14. Lets' say she's recently out of dock and using the Indian ocean monsoon to meet her schedule.

Thanks for the comment. She's not finished yet, I'm trying to gather enough courage to start rigging her.

After working on Hokoku Maru for a while I've decided to finish Poelau Laut first. For the first time I'm using Jim's watercolor paper method for the water and Eduard passenger figures to populate the decks.
The unsharp vertical structure on the right in the first picture marks Poelau Laut's place of the birth, the former NDSM shipyard. I live half a mile to the northeast.

Hello ,

also congratulations from me! :thumbs_up_1: To all the winners, but also to all the participants. A lot of beautiful builds
there. So, i think everyone is a winner. :big_grin:

I am sorry, that i couldn´t get my vessel ready for the show, but i must admit that really underestimated the work to be done
in relation to the time frame. And furthermore i really don´t like to work "against the clock". :roll_eyes:
But if i like one of the next group build themes, i´ll be back! :heh:

Greetings from the North Sea Coast, Jan :wave_1:

That last sentence gave a laugh...my first thought when I saw I won was "you only won because Jan didn't finish the oiler"!!!

Better just to enjoy the ride.

I will be away from my hobby room for the coming two days so I post this to show where the build is now. Will send a timestamped picture to Matt in a few days. I'm also planning to add passengers, rigging and a base later in this thread if that's OK.
Mast and cranes placed yesterday night, finally the classic look I was aiming for:


Pieter,

I am taking it you are calling her done, which I think she looks done. The photos you send me in the next day or so as long as they show her unchanged from the images posted that will be fine. As for the adding more, that is fine as these posts will not be closed but anything additional will not be considered in the judging if it was added after the 15th. I am looking to have a decision by next Friday so please send the photos in before than.

Thanks

Matt

Well, it's been fun but unfortunately it has come to an end. Now comes the hard part, deciding which of the following builds is going to take 1st place :scratch:

TimmyC -- 1/700 Brasil Maru (Fujimi)
Jim Smith -- Sado Maru/Sakito Maru in pre-war fit/NYK colours
Bob Cicconi -- 1/700 SS Pearl (BFM)
Pieter -- 1/700 Poelau Laut (Scratchbuilt)
JimRussel -- 1/350 USS Leonard Wood APA-12 (Scratchbuilt)

If any of the above builders would like to send in additional photos for the judging, please post them here or e-mail me with them.

Stand by for updates!

Matt
