No words other than "huge respects" - and I kind thought for Ella...

Robert Podkoński
Awesome!

Thanks mates. I'm pleased how it turned out as well, and hugely relived the build is over. 🙂

Spanjaard
a true work of art and love. you truly succeeded. and a wonderful homage to Ella!

Mike Thomas
Fantastic ending, sir! Very much a labor of love, especially with Ella's involvement.

Alec K
An outstanding effort Gorby, I love it.

bughunter
What a wonderful model!
It's best to visit an exhibition - you'll get lots of questions about where to find this kit 😉

David Taylor
Nicely finished with the pooch.

gorby Szerző
Thanks very much mates, I'm quite taken aback by your lovely comments. 🙂
I know all to well what would happen if I took it to a show Frank, there would be a continuous stream of people telling me that the mechanics don't make sense and wouldn't work - something i already know. 😄 😄

Thomas Bischoff
another gorgeous build of the wonderful and weird from gorby!
Can you you send the mechanical experts to me? I still struggle to understand how the Millenium Falcon works …

gorby Szerző
Thanks Thomas. 🙂
If I were to scratch-build the Milenium Falcon I'd be wondering were to fit the steam boiler and the coal bunker. 😄

Neuling
Your Fowler Steeplechaser - a glorious success! And I like the doggie ......

Dietmar Bogatzki
Agree with Thomas 😉 👍

Gorby, I watched with great interest the whole progress of the construction. Your scratchbuil skills are top notch and the result of your efforts is truly phenomenal. 👍
I agree with bughunter, I'm sure there would be plenty of people at the show who would want to know what kit you used to build the model. 🙂

Exceptionally amazing work! Congrats for finishing this steamer!

Thank you for your lovely comments Ludvik & S M. 🙂

Bohrmann
It is not easy to grasp that this model is made entirely of bits of styrene and other bits of material. I had estimated the model to be larger until I saw comparison with the pot of Tamiya paint.
The little dog fits in perfectly. Respect for your skills and dedication.

Bozo
Awesome result

Michael Kohl
Work of art.

Thanks Bohrmann. I find scratch-building to be a good way of keeping my brain ticking over. I enjoy trying to work out how I can make things out of what I have available (god forbid I have to spend money 😄 ). Sometimes it helps me keep my mind off the world falling apart. Unfortunately, as with many modellers when I view the completed model all I see are the mistakes.
Thanks for your comment. 👍

Love it! Is that the RCA dog?

David Orr
Wow, I wouldn't know it was scratch built if you hadn't told us. The dog is a nice touch.

gorby Szerző
Thanks very much Capt & David.
Capt: Ella preferred watching the telly rather than listening to records. 😄

Mick Burdett
Just bloody amazing!

gorby Szerző
Thanks very much Mick!
It always surprises me when people are so enthusiastic about my builds. When I look at the photos all I see are the things I should have done better. 😄
Thanks everyone for your lovely comments and likes.

Ludvík Kružík
Gorby, I'd say that's the "curse" of most modelers. No model is absolutely perfect. Only more or less close to perfect. It's natural that as the author of your model, you know all of its (even if only minimal) flaws and things you'd like to do better. The rest of us see "only" the result of your work. And I can assure you that what we see is very good indeed. 👍👍👍

Spanjaard
i could have not said it better 🙂

gorby Szerző
You make a very good point Ludvik.
Thanks for your comments mates. 🙂
