Excellent, it could be mistaken for the full size ship.......


There has been only a handful of photos on here (in the threads I have read, there may be more) that really could be mistaken for the real boat. You managed that with a couple of photos, well done you must be very proud!    U2

many thanks  :-) Fairmount is still not finish.. I have many things to do, also cover the top of nav lanterns and build motorized radar.
it was start 26 october 2015, three months at now.

I have to learn the better way to do writings with paint, stickers are orrible and thick but I don't know how.
before I have tried with laserprint and decals sheet but it is not what I would get
 
look at the front writings in this picture, for me looks terrible, if it was true the panel thickness would be of several centimeters

Umi may help you with decals.

I know what you mean adout the decals , I had some made by a well known decal maker for my cranes and paid over £20 pounds for ,I was not impressed so might change them . I've been on with mine 3 years off and on , I am retired  so finance comes in to it ,have to save to by all the extras .
It looks real good .

Well done ,it looks that if it is operated at a steady speed the work deck will keep dry , so avoiding water ingress .
