Shar2 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 That is pretty darn amazing, but 19 years, I just couldn't contemplate spending that long on a model, 6 months is my limit of concentration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbuna Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 That looks awesome, almost lifelike in miniature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiking Posted June 2, 2012 Author Share Posted June 2, 2012 ...but 19 years, I just couldn't contemplate spending that long on a model, 6 months is my limit of concentration. The reason is that the ship is scratch built and I guess he had to do his daily chores as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatcliffeDemon Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Incredible levels of dedication. I guess this is the military modellers equivalent of a ultra detailed prototypical model railway layout? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek A Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Very, very, very impessive and beautifully made. I'd need a bigger house! (And probably a good divorce lawyer! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
