The Duke Finishes Four, One is Here

[dukemaddog]

This month I finally found time to work on some models and bring some over the finish line since they were so close.


This is one of four, the other three are vehicles. This is my ancient Revell British 71-foot Vospers Motor Torpedo Boat, built strictly out of the box. Yes, I need to add window glass to the bridge windows:











I used stretched sprue for the rear cables going to the jackstaff at the back as actual thread wasn't working. This isn't the best; nor a decent contest model; but it is another step in the goal to finish as many motor-type boats as are easily available.


Thank you all for looking in.

Looking good! Always nice to have something cross the finish line.

Mark that looks mighty good. You should hit one of the railroad hobby shops and try to get yourself some EZ Line for projects like this.

Leon, thanks! Yes, it is always a thrill to bring something over the line.

Carlos, thanks! That is a good idea. Perhaps when I finally get paid from this last job, I'll be able to do some shopping. EZ line is fantastic stuff!

Another great build.

To me Mark, each build like this is like a steppingstone into the next level of skill sets in any given genre of modeling. You've definitely ventured into a genre that I haven't even begun to fathom. Ships/ watercraft are a beast all to their own but you've managed to break the ice in that field. Congrats on a good finish bud.

Thank you TJ!

Thank you Silverado Joe! I have done ships before, my current count (minus boats) is 289 completed ships. My motor boats are now at six, which you can all see in another Thread.
