Hello Bernhard.

I agree with Gondolier88 and could not say it any better.

Absolutely stunning Bernard, your models have so much atmosphere and character you just can't help but smile when you see them.  The detail you put into them combined with amazing weathering techniques makes them all simply amazing not to mention the imagination and a sense of appreciation of the subject that shows through.

Hi Bernhard,

Is that the 'Fifie' hull?

Greg

[Bernhard]

hi..Thanks,,,,No it is not.........it is a wood safe boat 85 cm long,

That is a disadvantage of oscillators. however, the faces will still be bedding in, if the engine is new, so things should improve with time.

Some engines are better than others, I have two Cheddar Puffins, both hiss a little, but one less than the other and the better of the two has less running time.

Still, adds to the character

Hi..thanks,,,, it real start to get a lot better now,,,after 4 ahours more running,,,so,, it is not more now than i can live with it..i have done something more,,,a servo.

Bernhard

another fantastic model bernard, i am interested to know if you paint your models and all the detailed parts you put in and on them to a perfect finish and then distress and age them or do you do this from the start,  you certainly know how to make a model boat come alive , i would love to have the courage to try what you do i know its far more difficult than my method of wet and dry and about 10 coats of varnish,congratulation's to you,

[Bernhard]

Hi.......Many  Thanks.......i do both....before i put them and after...i use  lack and wax and whater ever i have ...it allso more easy to use a distresset model...im not afraid if something scut go rung...and i dont have to polich and clean it every time it have be used...i have don this fore many years...it is more easy fore me to do.than clean model with many shinny parts on........

I just went back and read this thread again...Bernhard, that is actually my video of my twin running ...I did just acquire a Cheddar Pintail and boile yesterday-  and they are new and un-fired! ...- I really do need to get some slide valve engines though..I might sell the Pintail and mate a TRV1 to the boiler if it will sustain it..?
