AckiThanks Arne, filled the glasses with clear cote. after drying some brown washing. So it´s possible to look through the glasses.😉 The guy is no diver, he´s the d(r)iver.

Arne GreveHey Acki, you show me them on my Smartphone, but here, the pics looks realley better. Nice work!😄

Hanno KleineckeWow, this promises to be an interesting project. Great wood effect on the hull ! ( Quite a few of us into wood now, are`nt we ?😉 )
The " salted " chipping looks super, so does the driver. (Or should we call him helmsman ?)

AckiThanks for your kind words Mates! 😄
@Hanno: I thought it would be good to have another italian boat beside yours. And have a little practice in painting wood.😉

Christian BruerInteresting subject and very nice work so far. The wooden effect on the lower hull looks really good.

Hanno KleineckeYou're right, there can never be enough boats here. Speaking of wich - you might want to take a look here, a link Christian gave me. I think I will have to spend a lot of money there in the nearer future ....... 😉

AckiThank you, Christian. Glad that you like it. Some more steps have to be done. 🙂
@Hanno: Checked the site when Christian gave you the link. Great stuff! Could use some sailors for my RAF Rescue Boat. But for now I want to finish some of my projects because this monster is waiting for me: scalemates.com/kits/101615-i..-elco-80-torpedo-boat-pt-596

Es-haq KhosraviHi mates! Thank you for your kind comments about my goggles set! Great job Acki! 🙂

Hanno KleineckeA true monster indeed ! Italeri 's MAS is big, but this one 's huge ! I' curious on that build ! I did this one in 1/72 nd, but i' d like a 77ft Elco in this scale, because it was based in Scott Paines design, like the RAF rescue launch.

AckiThe Elco was a special offer (40 Euro). A must have...
@ Essi: the carpet monster loves your glasses too. Lost several on the ground. 🙂

Es-haq KhosraviOh! I think your carpet monster has a link with mine! Cuz I find some glasses here time to time! Sounds scary! lol

Kerry COXBefore I work on anything small, I place a "Drop Sheet" under my work area, and I never lose a thing now. 🙂

Arne GreveBetter put no carpet under your working place. I have black matres. They work, till I sample some dust and dirt from the buttoms of my shoes. 🙁

Hanno KleineckeSuper Dein" kleiner Italiener" Acki ! 😉 Very authentic chipping and weathering. The interior details , the driver and the base look fantastic !
What a tiny little beauty in comparison with the 80 footer ! Did you start with the beast yet ?
18 February 2015, 18:54
AckiThanks Christian and Hanno. Very pleased that you like this. The beast is still asleep. Waiting for its time.

Arne GreveHey Acki, you´ve done a really nice job with this little italian one-way-boat. And the wooden deck or base is amazing. Is it in the box, too? Well, now I wait for the ELCO.
19 February 2015, 07:54
AckiHi Arne and Kim, thanks for your postings. The wooden deck is a deck for model ships. You can find them cheap in RC-Shops. The Elco has to wait. No place for the monster now but it´s coming.
I asked myself if the M.T.M looks so used as I made it but I found some pics on the booklet that comes with the kit and in the web. So I took it as a nice practice for painting wood and weathering.
Thanks for looking. 😄
