Slartibartfast Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Very good indeed. Suddenly the boat has a scale that's easy to comprehend. Such an awesome build! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going to use an old plexiglass 5 sided case, from another model, for a dust cover. I've made the wood base to fit both this model & the dust cover. The base is stained & clear coated, and I'm waiting for it to dry. To add a little more interest to the MTB display, I'm thinking of using a photo of the actual MTB's as a backdrop to the model. During my MTB research on the Internet, I found a colour photo of a BPB MTB flotilla. I've enlarged the photo to fit my plastic case. Here's a couple of photos showing what it will look like as the backdrop; ... and cropped as it would look in the display case; I like it, but I'd be interested in your thoughts. What do you think? Thanks! Definitely works for me John. Sorry, been awol for a bit till I saw your Dog boat over at BM, & recalled I hadn't seen the end of this one, quite wonderful. Steve.

JohnS Posted November 7, 2017 Author Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hey Steve. Good to see you back. I'll be posting this build on BM as well, once I get the photos on Flickr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Silenoz Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 looking good in the end, missing a light wash though around the details to make them pop out... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 What an amazing build John! Totally blown away by what you accomplished here. Turning a block of wood into a work of art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
