This is one of the most amazing models I've ever seen - the level of detail on the decks is stunning, and the color scheme is gorgeous. I've followed your advances for the past year or so (turret designs, major gun reworks, etc), but I never really comprehended the notion that something so large and detailed would ever really come to be ... but it has, and it is *amazing*. You mentioned Brikwars in one of your posts ... *drool*. Throw in some Panzers and Stukas (I know, wrong war, but I'm sure we could adapt a scenario that included a re-commissioned WWI dreadnaught used to transport top secret X-project materials), and you have a stunning layout. I vote for a dockside/harbor scene ... high wooden docks, crates and barrels everywhere, a German supply train, warehouses and shacks, lots of cover, lots of open spaces, and a huuuuggggeee ship pulled into dock for loading. What a scene! Now, how to overcome your first bad ship-tranportation experience and entice you up to NELUG territory ;) Of course, maybe if we can convince you to bring it to next years' Brickfest again, we can pull it together then. Well, just wishful thinking and a happy imagination for now, I s'pose. In all seriousness, though, this is stunning. I've started looking into the possibility of doing a WWII German E-boat now, inspired by the fantastic results you were able to showcase. I just hope hope hope that I get to see yoru ship in person some day. Thanks for the brilliant showing, Lindsay! Regards, Shaun p.s. Here's another perfect example of why we need a .military or .models/.modelling subgroup to lugnet.build (shameless plug)

(...) Just stupendous Lindsay. The snot-wise approach to hull design has worked a treat, the turrets (always my worry) are wonderful, and the detail around the superstructure is glorious. I think another day in the sun for the HMS Valhalla and HMS (...) (23 years ago, 26-Aug-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.build.sculpture, lugnet.boats, lugnet.pirates)

[nb.: Scroll WAYYYY down to the end for the .admin.general item] (...) Thanks! I'm glad it has the approval of the ABS-grognards among us. :) I was warned, however, that building that ship served as an official gauntlet-dropping for you at next (...)

Hi, everybody! I built a little boat. (URL) Let me know what you think--it's old news, but I finally got a reasonable site up so I thought I should "announce." :D all best Lindsay n.b.: Followups have been set.
