larchiefeng Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Perfect for gazing and enjoyment on a daily basis. It's too bad that you can't resize down the background that you made for the pictures! A great accomplishment and now in a place of honor; happy viewing my friend!

PC2012 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Looks totally, totally real. You honestly couldn't tell the difference. I agree with all the comments made on here, museum quality. Bravo Mr C!! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codger Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 It has been most kind of all of you who watched, wrote and 'liked' all along this journey. You have added immensely to my knowledge and enjoyment and mere 'thanks' does not express my appreciation. Due to your kindness, I now have many new modeling friends, a benefit I never considered when I started work. I will watch and enjoy all of your collective works. My Rolls has fulfilled my vision and I can't ask for more. I enjoy its presence daily. Carry on and may your modeling satisfaction only be surpassed by your good health . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Pete I would tell you to 'dry up!' but I mean it in the best possible way for your atmospheric conditions. ! In 3 1/2 years I've modelled through numerous snow storms, tropical storms and one passing hurricane. Then there's the brief periods of cooperative weather which allows the paint to go and stay on! To say nothing of medical mischief that life always throws our way. But I've always liked your advice to 'keep sticking'. Glad if you've found value in this work and will ask you to post the results you produce on the bench. And thanks for the kind thoughts.

morty_3333 Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Hi Mr. C! Yes,I think I remember the passing hurricane,gave a wet-ish Christmas a year or so back? My current build is keeping Me off britmodeller at the moment (one of these,which I've been working on on and off for a couple of years,and decided it was time to get it done:-) This is'nt My build,I'm roughly upto about page 5 on Taylor's build- http://www.sparksstudios.com/boatyard/valdivia_Page_1.htm Hope to finish this about the beginning of December,then will be back on britmodeller with a rather large Battlecruiser:- http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235008558-hms-hood-1200/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Hood "Full speed (sticking) ahead!"

Codger Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Huge and impressive subjects Pete. Should be no trouble for you to swing into a Pocher Rolls Torpedo with those skills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My long lost RR fellow builder! What is the status of your Sedanca? I have truly missed your very promising build. I sincerely hope you continue on here with it. And thank you for the kindness. Having mine in Flying Lady was an unexpected honor. Please come back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wkennerley Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks Codger, I am around, just busy with other things like 1/64 custom diecasts and lost a bit of modelling mojo - I have recently done some tidying up on the engine.

harveyb258 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It's great to see this back, Chas. We seem to have a proper Pocher resurgence on at the moment and I, for one, am lovin' it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As one of the leaders of the ScratchBuilder's Posse - you cannot deprive us of this art. You and your boys work at a higher level than mere Pochers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
