Hi Wolle, you're right on the mark.

When member's make Fleet Admiral and Admiral's with 8 boats in two years or less...ya that's working the system or cheating. See a photo of the current Admirals and Admirals to be who have not created anything but spam and who have accomplished high ranks attached. Alessandro, Roy, Southport(soon to be), EDw, Nickthe steam(soon to be), I am sure there are a few more. Congratulations boys. Contact me for your mail in University degree in any masters you like. Just $10. You can be anything you could never achieve in real life. Well like my dad always said... " the best Captain is always standing on the beach"

I understand it already.
I'm not on Facebook and the like. It's even worse there. I'm in this forum because everyone here respects each other and doesn't insult each other. That seems to be over. What a pity. I have registered in many modelling forums and can only say that it's not just about modelling everywhere. Nevertheless, I will not insult or judge anyone here. We are all unique and that's a good thing. Otherwise it would be very, very boring here on the globe on which we live. As I said.... nobody is forcing you to read anything and if it is approved by the administrator, it won't be so wrong. By the way, if I post something about the Elbe, it will definitely be about a ship. And now settle down again. ▲

Wolle,
You are missing the point. It is about all the fodder that some post here who are insecure and need a title other than ODD. If you want to post photos of farm equipment then do it on a farm site not on one that says Model-boats.com. If you really feel the need to share your photos from Elbe, make more friends on FB. ▲

Hello Brightwork
Really now.......you're worried about who climbs faster ???????? I don't care who's a sailor or a commodore or a smutje. I've never paid attention to that. Everyone is building some kind of ship and posting it here and I don't look at every post. In the same way, I know that not everyone looks at my build report either. But that's ok..... If someone is jealous that someone has become a fleet admiral in a short time, that's the end of the world. Hello......You only have to read what interests you. We're not in kindergarten here ▲

The balsa planking seems a strange choice for such a big model as it is easy to dent in use - or even in transit!

I worry about the Corvette being such a big model with balsa wood planking to form the hull.

I like the look of your Catalina, Doug, do you fly her and if so do you fly her from land or water, being an amphibian? I have a hankering for a seaplane just to run around the lake, not flying, but whether I'll get round to it now, I don't know.
I saw a Catalina at an airshow, years ago and was surprised what a big plane she was and I had a distant American relative who was an airgunner on one in the Korean war. Cheers, Nerys ▲

Excellent finish and comfy looking too. She doesn't look much like my 1.47m span Catalina though. Where are da wings? Or is this just one of the floats? 😁😂 Cheers, Doug 😎

Sweet looking cruiser. It takes some doing to make those old Sterling kits look that good. They’re not bad kits, especially for their time period, but still, a lot of work. Enjoy her, she’s a keeper!!

The forward hatch is actually a small speaker. The sound module for the engine also has horns and bell which when triggered only come out of that speaker. More realistic
