Though i am a little dissapointed. You could have added the crowd to the Puffer scene

Thanks Mike and Wayne. 

Bish, I was thinking of adding some N scale train passengers but wanted to get her done for a contest I never made it to.

I want to check if the Manitowoc museum wants it.

As far as safety, I'm truly surprised no one got hurt during these launches....as far as I know.

Amazing builds. I especially like all the sub builds. The water is really cool on them.

I've really enjoyed your WIP's this past year; the way you work through challenges to create those stunning models is an inspiration. Really looking forward to your "few new ideas"!

Steve,

The amount of high quality work you produce in one year is amazing. Not to mention all the advice you give and tutorials on this site you provide as you do the builds.  Your style and presentation is at a master level.

I hope you have a blessed new year and that you continue to provide us with new works that will continue to inspire us.

Steve- noticed that you have the Puffer launch listed as a 1/72 rather than a 1/144.  Saw that after I got focused back behind the glasses.Wink

Thanks guys, that means a lot and I couldn't be more serious about that. 

Don, the spray is Poly-Fil from Walmart. I used acrylic varnish to stiffen it.

Patrick, the NMF is Alclad. I vary the base coat from gloss to flat, black to gray. I will also AB gray streaks on the base coat to cause the streaking effect. In my opinion the base coat makes all the difference.

Steve -

What a craftsman modeler you are. I second Bish's "inspirational" comment, everything about your post and photos is just that.

Question please, what NMF do you use? Whatever it is, the finish looks perfect. Thanks very much for showing us how modeling should be done, and so many of them. Great work.
