Your attention to detail and craftsmanship are top-notch. Extremely well done. Your years of experience shine through.
very very well done
Fantastic, great job. Wish I had your skill.
Your thread sizes look spot on. What did you use? I have been planning a Langton order for a bunch of this stuff. I guess I'm motivated now!
Almost expecting Hornblower to come sailing through the gap and dismast the ships at anchor. Marvellous stuff.
fantastic work, looks realy great

Hard to say Eric, I've been doing this for 50 plus years. Helm's Deep was fun 30 years ago. Making the mountains and airbrushing them to look real; building a spiral stair to go up the center of the tower; building a real mini chain wheel to raise and lower the drawbridge. All made from plywood on my Shopsmith scroll saw. I've not done a project as large since.
Hey Vol, Very nice work. Out of curiosity, what has been your favorite modeling project? EAT
Wow, that looks really great!
Beautiful work! Very admirable. Somehow, I don't think my dining room table will look quite as nice anymore for upcoming naval battles.
