Truly FIRST CLASS modelmaking !! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

I love the boat, love the torpedoes--overall finish is of very high standard- additional and retro-detailing is simply superb!

If I had any critique/comment to make... :scratch: ( should I ...? )

( and this is my own biased opinion !! )

...it would be ......

that I find the supports for the cradle to be a little intrusive on the overall look of the model.

On your next one.... ( :big_grin: ) maybe have the supports on one side only--leaving the sub to be viewed uninterrupted by the cradle in all its glory from the other side...

Shame you cannot make Telford--this model would doubtlessly attract much attention!

Hey Jim,

beside the fact that i appreciate each and every feedback, some are really important and thats one of these.
We met and we chatted but still... you re one of my modelling idols.
I shared the same concerns regarding the impact of these supports there.
It was the following picture, made me swaying:

Image

The cradle is brutally visible and disturbing the visual approach to the model.
And therefore, i made these items movable and removable.

I will catch some reactions from the audience and friends and decide occasionally, with tendence to what you mentioned above.

Thanks for adress this topic, Jim!
Very much appreciated!

Best
