You are a master of the wood craft, have You considered making one in 1/72 scale? I'm impressed because I know how small those parts that You make are.

I can see why you like the 1:144 scale for the type of scratch building you are doing. I visited my parents for the Christmas season and shipped back a couple of ancient models I built 50 years ago. One will be used as a reference to build a new ship model and the other one is a C3 hull, once motorized and will be converted to either an AkA or CVE. Both measure out to 1:144 scale. I was surprised at the huge difference between that and the 1:192 scale I am building my Missouri in. It doesn't seem like so much but the parts and pieces have at least twice the heft!

Regards. Tom

I hope you haven't glued down all those sub-assemblies, because they're gonna be a real PITA to paint!

Beautiful work.

He doesn't paint the top part of his ships. Kind of a trade mark. It's special, but also good looking.

Great job up till now Song, two at a time is not that easy. And pretty repetitive as well!

The radars are nice indeed and the 26' motor whaleboat is especially well executed. Taking an idea fron you and turning some very small items such as bullhorns, gas bottles, for mains etc from wood chucked in a Dremel tool.

Keep up the fabulous ship building.

Regards. Tom

This takes me back years, this update.

I remember back in my early teens, reading Boy's Life magazine (it's basically the official monthly of the Boy Scouts of America) and reading about the technique for whittling working chains out of solid bits of wood. It was in the magazine's semi-regular column on woodcarving.

Seems like a lifetime ago, that article.

You have a good memory in long time ago.
I've made life boats.
