WOW! What a work of art (models in both pics) .....and look at the size of that thing! That 'boat' is truly museum quality.

Thanks for posting. Any additional info on who built it, and what ship this is? Is there an SBS for it?

Marc it starts here be warned it will make you think that some folk are just plain lucky to be where they are, I couldn't go where Andi mentioned.

After spending a long time going through this build and then looking at my little paper effort...... I wondered about what I am doing.

The wonderful thing about our modern world is that it allows us to share our experiences whether it is cutting up a few bits of paper or building an amazing articulated figure, or creating drawings like Paul does.

Marc your own work striving for a particular effect or accuracy is just as inspirational.
