About Jeff Herne (Angry_Ensign)

What's to say...been there, done that, got the stupid T-shirt to prove it. I've ran an air museum, worked for FSM, started my own mag, and I run a little internet webstore called Modelerswarehouse. In my spare time, I try my best to have something that resembles a life, but I find it easier to lock ...

Hi Jeff (again) I really like reading out your article and it was interesting to see a different way of building these small "beasts" - perhaps that's why yours are better than mine Flawless all the way, good water environment, nice touch with the BFM big tug, but... there are missing some crew members! IMHO if you are going to make a particular scene like this with the tug, you have to make it manned Thanks for sharing it and welcome back to 1/700 Rui

Adding the tug just made a good build even better. Just those little extras change the whole scene. Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic model Jeff!!... Very clean model, well built and painted. The only suggestion I have (and I'm sure you would of done it eventually) would be to give the base edge a coat of paint or stain. thanks for sharing, Frank

Ahoi Jeff! good to see you building a ship model again! Great looking build all round! -agree with Rui that some crew populating the scene would add to the realism! Jim Baumann
