How old you said you were again? 13 years old?? dude that 's some fine work there by the age of 20 you should be able to scratchbuild anything .... one more time good job

Thanks J. !

I just hope all this modelling won't get through when I get to college!


------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hood and it's companions were re-arranged since the previous arrangemant was not so good.

I added some more barges. This time painted in grey. Cargo is still in progress. I also added even more boats. Some came from the Tamiya KGV while others are from Hood.

Washing the Hood was very nice to do. Brushing the entire model with 10:1 thinner and Tamiya's XF-1, it look even more realistic rather than the previous lifeless Hood

The last one's a view of the little dock with the "crane boat" added

New pics:

I have added another dock near the third part of Liverpool. I managed to mix the joints with the turfs to make it "invisible"

From a simple river to a heavily reclaimed and modified river!

Thanks

Some more progress.

I added another installment to the dio, a small canal just a small one. I added it near the edge of the second isle. It has a boat from the KGV and some PE oars.



And some progress on the third isle dockside. Still awaiting the L'Arsenal trucks!



You can't just let any more plans and ideas get stuck on your head, Just make it a reality!!

I'll put the Hood dio on a little 2 week long "hiatus" so I could deal more with USS Independence.

Hi Nick,

Take your Time.......

Your technically right Molders!

You just have to stop what you're doing and get some relaxation!

ANYWAY...

The only promise that has been never posted:::::

TADAH!!

Try to see if YOUR country's flag is here.

Heck, it took me 3 weeks to memorize more than 50 national flags and 2 months of very "pain in the butt" practice!!!
