we just love pics

Still working on my Kearsarge at this moment:

Photo quality is not to good (colours are very stark here, real model is more muted). I had to intercept the Galleon and Reale when the mail was delivered and smuggle them past my better half for storage in my stash (saves a lot of explaining ). As I mentioned the Spanish galleon is far removed from a model of a real ship but the Reale is really beautiful and I can hardly wait to start on it.

   Ahhh so...you're good at heading the mailman off at the pass as well huh ? that's an art  to aquire, heh,heh,

  You're modeling work is great, I have recently acquired the Reale De France and the 1:96 Revell Gallion and the 1:96 Revell English Man O War, both hulls are identical only the Gallion has two masts and the Man O War has three, right now I'm trying to figure out where I'll put those models when I get them finished, along with the CSS Alabama they're a lot of plastic, will you make  display cases  for yours ? I'd like to for mine.   Karl

Thank you very much for the positive remarks on the Kearsarge Hippy-Ed and Starduster . I started work on the Kearsarge in September. The fun part (rigging) has just started now. I will go for a display case when the ship is finished, there is just too much chance of damage to the model if its left "au naturel "

I am working on the Revell 1/96 English Man O'War as well, and I think I've figured out why revel added that second balcony.  Thay have the: fore-main&first mizzen-masts too far aft,and had to add that second balcony to make room for the second mizzen mast.  On my build I have cut open the lower gun deck ports, lowered the stern, and will be moveing the masts forward.

O--my build is on the sailing ships thred.
