Ahoy Karl,

She's looking great! I see the laughing sawfish is quite popular.
Keep up the great work.


Alan,

You wanna give 1:125 a try ?

Hopefully your not as crazy as I am!

Would just love to create a diorama in 1:35 scale, the scale you work in, for
all the possibilities of detail and figure assortment as per your PIER 51,
but can you imagine the size of a u-boat and the drydock in that scale!

I need a bigger house first,

Have a nice day to you both and happy modeling,

Joe

Very nice tower work. Toss in a few shots of the hull when you can!
