Some exceptional work there Michael! I especially love your work on the railing...they make a tremendous difference! Well done all around on this one so far!!

Yep, like Todd says - exceptional probably ist the right word!!! Your Falke looks absolutely fantastic!!

Great work Micha!!

Cheers,

Jan

Thank you very much!

Now I have to wait as some parts were missing in my kit (signal lamps, parts of the two Hotchkiss guns, ...). I should receive the parts within the next few days, the manufacturer promissed (Great service at Wiener Modellbau Manufaktur!!!!)

Cheers

Great work Michael, on the mast, the staining on the masts is first rate.

Really enjoying following this build.

*** UPDATE ***

The two Hotchkiss guns are made of resin, photo etched parts and a turned brass gun barrel. Painted and weathered with oil colors and metal pouder used for the metal parts.

The rigging starts with thin rope which is weathered with oil color. The ropes on the railing is made of wire, painted in brwon. Later it will become weatherd and drybrushed. Not yet done on the pics.

Excellent Rigging Michael,

The weathering on the thread works really well.

Great build.

The ropes on the railings are very effective and the rigging looks superb.

Herzlichen Dank Euch allen für die netten Kommentare. Es freut mich, dass Euch das Schiff gefällt! Es war garantiert nicht der letzte Bausatz von WMM!

Fantastic work Michael! I love the almost Steampunk look of that little torpedo boat!
