The cutter´s number 411 was added with oil color. It was build in a german wharf and had the name "Gerda". Further details and its fate are unknown

It grew up in photo 30! I especially enjoyed the step by step on how you made the ocean. It is thoughtful when more experienced modelers show us how to do things, thank you. The cutter is a little jewel.

Sorry Ben picture 30 was my recently finished Kriegsmarine Destroyer Z-25 which I do have in another album. I´m still struggling with the things here to get my projects and pictures properly postet here; I find it somehow difficult.

Using aluminum foil and white glue was
just trick. Very clever. I have never seen
that before.
Most excellent build too.

Kriegsfischkutter in a fish tin, very cool way of presenting your superb work. The foil and glue based „water" is very convincing and realistic looking !
