As much as I liked seeing all three in natural light, I enjoy seeing the pieces in detail while in construction.
I really appreciate all the scratching you do – construction over assembly. It really puts art into it when you make custom pieces to meet your own ends.
Looking forward to number three and your future projects.

A delightfull build and a lot of fun just watching the transformation.
This takes modeling to a new dimension when you realise it began as a little plastic model. I was inspired and have bought the Revell tug Lucky XII to see what I can do. Will let you know how I go.
Good work!
