After many years, on and off, of modelling my health has now made me realise that am struggling more and not enjoying it at all. Too much pain, cramps, dropping stuff etc. So, the work shed is slowly getting emptied, funny how many old post of paint you find. I will be running my RC tanks at the club for a while but getting shut of some of them, just want to keep it simple. Will have a box for spares to keep the ones I intend to keep running but that is it. No more building, my 1/72 scale 'rusty-crusty' Flower class, made as the sunken wreck of HMS Compass Rose from the the book and film, The Cruel Sea, will be my last, a fitting end I think, as she is the biggest sunken model I have made and she was featured in Model Boat Magazine. I shall look in from time to time as there are some smashing stuff to see. But, I wanted to thank all the good folks that looked at my work over the years, thanks guys it meant a lot. Take care all. Si.

RMS Servia 1/196 Scratchbuild - Finished
eddiesolo replied to theskits62's topic in Ready for Inspection - Maritime
Hi Brett, followed this on Model Ship World, Great work in plasticard for the ribs and hull, in fact, great work all round. You have turned a forgotten gem, shame she was scrapped in 1902,-so many innovations, into a wonderful showcased piece. Anyway, I babble on-top draw work and a stunning model to show for all the hours you have put in. -

Nice work Sebastian. Like the weathering and on such a small scale, you have to be careful it isn't over done, looks spot on to me. -

Oh yes, outstanding model! Lovely work and finish. Top drawer build, another fave for me. Well done Rod on a cracker. -
Billings Boats Lila Dan
eddiesolo replied to Lucius Molchany's topic in Ready for Inspection - Maritime
That is a lovely build, really nicely made and the rigging looks tops. Displays really good. -
Thanks Chewie, I have a board for her but the size, after knocking various items off the workbench, made it just impracticable plus, displaying her was going to be a nightmare, the missus isn't happy as it is with it sat on top of the bookcase in the lounge 😆. Really pleased you like how it turned out and I managed to get it looking okay.

I have to agree, a very nice looking model, really like this build. Now, if you send it to me, I can crust and rust for you and do one of my sunken jobbies...I.E ruin it 😆

HMS Plymouth F126 Falklands 1982

Toby, a wonderful model and setting. You have certainly captured the rough journey in heavy seas, the worn look of her and you also get that sense of 'at the ready'. Top drawer build mate.
