    Your brass work never ceases to amaze me, the ladders on the funnel and the associated bits and pieces are just superb. How did you make the stanchions for the railings around the funnel and keep them all symmetric ?

    @Steve D @robgizlu - thanks gents. I am going to make sure i get a few plans from the archives before i go so i'll have something to get stuck into when i'm there. I'll be popping up again on this site as soon as i'm able ! Cheers

    That sounds really interesting, please keep us posted when it goes live. Unfortunately I doubt i will be getting much modelling done this year, even on my mini Emden project, as i'm in the process of emigrating to Australia (Perth). My kids have all moved there and once i retire i figure i may as well use my permanent residency status and move there too. Unfortunately there is a lot more to it than just buying a plane ticket and house renovations are eating up all my spare time at the moment so whilst the services you propose all sound like things i would take advantage of it probably wouldn't happen until i've moved and set up a workroom etc.

    The whole thing is a work of art but that skylight particularly is just even more so !!! Love those forward vents too, i really struggle to make those. Did you 3d print them or are they brass too ?

    That is absolutely brilliant, the amount of detail that you have crammed into it beggars belief ! Like a few people have already said, you could look at that for hours and still see see something new each time.

    Really beautiful work well done !!

    I can recommend Flory washes for general rust/grime. I got some when i did Lancelot and was really pleased with the way they worked. They are clay based paints that you can flood into nooks and crannies that once dry leave a very convincing impression of general muck ! https://www.florymodels.org/store/flory-models-set-of-8-washes-fmw100

    You're doing a great job on this, even more so since its your first ship. Congratulations !!

    To my eye you've really nailed that wood colour. Looks perfect to me.

    I don't just want to just click on the "love it" button but it is getting really difficult to find new superlatives to apply to your work each week so my apologies if i'm repeating myself when i say "brilliant" !

    That would be amazing work if it was a kit ! The fact that it is scratch is just next level.

    Looking superb ! That circle cutter looks very useful, whats the smallest diameter it can go down to ?

    That is just gorgeous. If you don't mind me asking, how did you make the top section of the binnacle with the angled flat face ?
