Christian Bruer Thank you all very much. Looking forward seeing you in HH next month I try to finish my HMS Venomous as well.

Cheers, Christian

James C Awesome work Christian. You've captured the look and feel of a small ship on a rough sea very nicely. Fantastic!

Norbert Steffens Great. See you in HH......

Kerry Cox THE PENCIL. !!!! That did it fr me. The intricate work and skill is just not seen until, "The Pencil". No kidding. What a perfect way to emphasize the actual scale, as then, you just want to get closer to see just what has been done.
Yet one more for the naval museum display cases.
Salute Christian.

Patrick Hagelstein I totally have to agree to Kerry!

Glenn . Great Model Christian! Hey Choppa, I think if it were a perfume it would smell like a piece of SHIP though?

Bernhard Pethe Hallo Christian, Flugzeuge sind wohl ausgegangen? Nee, Spaß beiseite, alles perfekt, so kenne ich das.

Christian Bruer Thank you very much mates, I'm pleased you like it.

Well as a perfume it will smell like grease, oil, engine and salt water. A fine mixture I think

Bernhard, vielen Dank. Ja die Flugzeuge liegen erst mal in der Warteschliefe. Bis zur Ausstellung in Hamburg im IMMH haben erst mal wieder die Wasserfahrzeuge den Vorrang. Bis ins kommende Jahr wird auch sicher was fliegendes fertig werden.

Cheers, Christian

Kerry Cox Christian, Your pencils have saved the day mate. hehehehe
I am always impressed with your mastery of the ship models, just one more for me to build up the courage to get my ass into gear and see what the excitement is all about.
This year at QMHE my ship building champion mate David Dolton ( he manufactures the fins you see on all surfboards, and made a million out of it) and, has some new resin kits of all kinds of RN Ship, Russian, Chinese, American, and all other navy type vessels he imports from China he now has on sale, and from what I saw last year in the way of subject material he has available, I won't be short of subject matter.
I will get all the info on what David is making available and pass the link on to you all here. And from what he showed me last year, the detail is something else.

Norbert Steffens To hot here in northern germany also. In my 3 weeks vacation i stayed at home to do some work at the house and in the garden. and of course on my models...but what can i say it's awful f.. hot here. We-especially I -are not used to that temperatures. So, in the end, it did NOTHING!!! Only lingering in the shades of the trees in my garden......and I hate to do nothing....

Alec K You call that hot? I am at the IPMS USA Nationals in Phoenix AZ, and it's 40-42 degrees outside. And then you get blasted with AC indoors. Fun fun fun.

Martin Oostrom There's different kinds of hot. My house isn't airconned and my bench is at window of the room. A south facing windows that is. This afternoon I was sanding some stuff and I felt some drops falling on my foot. I couldn't spot a leak in the ceiling and was a bit baffled. After a minute or so I realised I was sweating so hard, drops were falling from my chin on my foot

Spanjaard it is what you are used to or not.... and i am not used to this temperatures anymore! specially with the humidity here....

Kerry Cox There was a news broadcast here just announcing that most of Europe was going to reach 43C today. !!! :-O :-O

Glenn . O.M.G! they will all melt! well at least their chocolate will! Not like aussie chocolate! But great paint drying weather!

Martin Oostrom Yeah, you open a bottle and poof: one dried paint stick

Lode Schildermans Christian, it is even not noticable you added the missing parts later. Top

Alec K Looking great

Clifford Keesler Awesome as always sir.

Christian Bruer Thank you Gentlemen

Norbert Steffens How could I miss this great build...... Your modification are really stunning. This build will encourages me to start with modifications on ships also. My grat respekt on all these tiny parts and tons of details

Christian Bruer Thank you very much Norbert. I'm looking forward to your WIP's!
Cheers, Christian

Martin Oostrom Norbert, I suggest HMS Anchusa. Not too large, not too many guns and rigging. You can do it!
Christian, my master. You keep on inspiring us

Christian Bruer Norbert build an excellent Varyag and his A86 Torpedoboat speaks for his own! You're bringing Graf Spee back to life, so no one should hide himself and just doing it

Cheers, Christian

Lode Schildermans Always a pleasure to look at ships in diorama. I hope one day I'll be able to build one myself.
Christian, a top build, as always

Guus Christian you never fail to amaze me. That is truly magical !

Christian Bruer Kerry, thx for sharing the dynamic diorama. I much like it, excellent craftsmanship!

Thank you all Gentleman for your very kind comments and interest.

Cheers, Christian

Kerry Cox It certainly makes us want to do even better when we see others works and skills on display.
I love what we are all capable of and all of us are just as talented as 'them'.

Christian Bruer Indeed that's the way progress will be made! Look to each other, learn from each other.

Kerry Cox Christian. So very true master.

Martien Lourens This is another nice piece of craft from your hands. awesome

Christian Bruer Thank you Kerry and Martien. I'm glad you like it
