Can I say like the "Lion of Judah"

Fixed and apologies.

I have stripped the post Hubert.Take Care

I take it John you have some decals? That's a pretty crate!Had to look it up.......

I am equal opportunity I deleted it guys no biggee but I do at times see things posted on the theater of world leaders and countries on display.I find the whole act as according to the Good Book to be offensive but yet is has been forced on society as normal.I will leave it there never ever to bring something of that that has any political over tones.I would suggest Martin please scrub the post(s)

Liking the camo carry on.

That's me also most colorful you like to do meets draw the eye,

Well Jeroen the first I have seen of this and I went WTF!! Prop looks like it came off a P-40 I had to go back and read interesting subject!

Better to catch that now than later Peter that would been enough to put the plane in the back of the cabinet.

Thks Rob and yes they do

I am just about finished with the railing with the SS L/side being the last little bit.The chain up front needs some glue ,deck R/side under storage rack more paint glue mark and then on too the rigging.I added a target to the R/side of the funnel not real wild about the strapping "is what it is"

That's some nice rigging off the crowsnest adds alot.

Rob you are probably already seen this but if you haven't it might be of use. https://modelshipworld.com/topic/26940-duchess-of-kingston-1778-royal-yacht-by-rustyj-finished-vanguard-models-164/page/6/

She's looking thus far Scott and I am with Peter Quinta is the ....best game in town methinks.

Lotsa details but the one thing Hubert painting I do sub-assemblies not so much here it's the deck

So the other part of the Sharnhorst came in today but I never knew of the company https://3d-wild.com/products/1-200-wwii-japanese-navy-shimakaze-destroyer-model-kit?pr_prod_strat=description&pr_rec_id=e0572105d&pr_rec_pid=6934498476085&pr_ref_pid=6947497115701&pr_seq=uniform

Not my favorite jet but that is bad ass!!

Oh by the way this one may being going to a comp in Mobile come October if all goes well from here on out may bring a couple others my first comp in 20 years.I may do the trio for giggles.

It does take a little more patience but in turn I do not have the patience that some guys put into a/c to only close it up at least here you see the fruits of your reward.

Still hammering on this one a little at a time the planes are just about done still have like 4 or 5 boats left.The hold downs for the spare a/c part and the launches is tissue paper thinking it gives the ship some life.

Can't get any pretty than that Scott!We have bridge that goes over the Bay(runs N/S) in the winter about 5/5:30PM at sunset on the W side the sun sets like that with purple and the E side the street lights are coming on,one evening even the Moon reflected in the water.It's weird like the bridge itself divides night/day to the E/night W/light it's really cool I thank God when they are really pretty.

No pics but it was just a simple little project for a guy.I had to make the stand/base for wooden ship model that is going to Destin ,FL form here in MS. a commission job the fella built of a Biloxi Schooner for a restaurant over there.I'm thinking easy-peasy and it was for the most part we used Cypress 100+ years old salvaged out of an old Catholic Church in New Orleans.The grain of the wood was just lovely I applied a citrus oil base I get out of Vicksburg,MS that really makes the colors and grain come to life and you let it dry for 3/4days.The problem was I used a can of marine varnish I had around first and second were fine but once it started building up dust/brush marks I even thinned it some no good.I tried a different brush same crap now I am at about six coats of varnish I started thinking a dangerous thing the dust was in the can!! I used it for the door I made for the shop and I was not at all sterile that day nor did I care it's a door.I am going I got enough varnish on here I started with 400/800/1500 grit then 000 steel wool till at the marks are gone and out came Mequiars Scratch Glaze 2.0 and man it turned literally frigg'en glass.I dropped it off at the owners house no one home he just called"could you get it any slicker?".He was impressed. Anyway just a side shoot in the like of Kevin now another gig awaits the owner comes in October to p/u.Sorry for the long take fellas I generally stay away from stains and varnishes using oils and different wood for color I learned something new and a happy customer.

For an ugly duckling she sure does look purrty John.

Some days this applies.
