    Good morning louis,

    Prosit Habib. Marvelous piece of scratch building.

    This tug, shall be like a kit within a kit, and shall surely steal some of the attention from the Warspite.

    Cheers.

    Yes Louis Probably they removed the armament

    Always a great choice

    Ja l-ikbar PECLUQ li qatt halaq Alla Laughing

    I know you'll take my constructive critiscm anyday so here it goes pale

    No1 That Ewru looks AWESOME lol!

    No2 I still feel that the funnels & the turret are out of proportion & a tad too high Shocked try and make a shorter mock up of both funnels & turret out of a piece of balsa wood and compare how it looks......remember that in that SMALL SCALE, the slightest error towards "bigger" would surely look BIG Suspect

    Marine modeller I AM NOT Sad but a KEEN EYE for the slightest of ERRORS I DO HAVE Embarassed

    I would add this to make everyone smile & not to boast (one of the 77 defects I don't posses cheers ) once I noticed a 1mm discrepancy on a pair of boots Stephen sculpted (with ALL due respect) he obviously tried to stand his ground, but when he went home, he measured both boots & found I was correct cheers

    Last but not least......if you don't have a scale plan, you can measure the funnels & turret from the photo & work out a proprtion/ratio or whatever you may call it against the size of the tug Wink

    I know you won't hate me for pointing this out, but even if you had to, so be it I love you I just couldn't let it go by without saying it, as its like a Franco Debono situation vis a vis you pale there are MORE members who CONCUR with me re turret & funnels but are AFRAID to point it out to you lest you do something a la Gonzi & banish us from the Brotherhood lol!

    Mela here is the pic of the actual vessel itself..... RN Rescue tug 'Respond'...ghax issa qed nidubita lili innifsi. Question

    HMS WARSPITE 1942 - Page 4 Hmtres12

    Mela whilst I take your constructive criticism with an open mind....Please note the pic of the actual ship...This is not the same class u posted David..This is a 'Rollicker Class Tug...and there's quite a few differences between the two vessels. Note how tall the funnels are....the forward funnel is incorporated in the superstructure on the Resolve.. The Respond 's funnel is just behind...notice the bow...the Respond has railings all along and just a short front bow piece with a rubber buffer just underneath....notice the hull buffer which is high up on the Resolve but half way down the hull of the 'Respond'...Notice the shape of the funnels...Oval on the Resolve....round on the Respond...notice the fwd mast on the Respond , how close it is to the superstructure....there's like a box on the Resolve just in front of the superstructure...Notice the funnel like vents....On the Respond they are positioned differently...the Respond has even a pair of these on the bow ..The Resolve hasn't...The masts are also totally different...There's also a kind of superstructure between the funnels on the Resolve....The Respond hasn't...just two plain round quite tall funnels....I hope u don't take this badly...and think that I'm being a bit fscitcous Smile Smile ...I'm going to take the half way road...shorten the funnels ..include the gun platform..unarmed...and fit in a small superstructure between the funnels....yes there's something which I will criticise myself...the stern should have been a tad longer ...used the same word as our brother Ray Smile Smile

    Amazing work - and very inspirational! cheers

    Just about to start building some ship models - something I'm finding a little intimidating - but I can see I'll have to keep an eye on this build as I suspect I'm going to learn a huge amount!

    Prosit!
