more nice work - how close are you to "finishing"?

To finish U-1308, I think 4-5 years  ;D

and what was in their pockets?! how many pieces of lint?

Likely he is working on a scale depiction of the Scapa Flow, and each vessel and building...  We know Gunther's boat at the time... But what clothing was each of the crew wearing? He is a busy man...  ;D

I said to myseft that I would not go any smaller that a Quark;)

Mmmmm....Weapon and Radar porn. :P   Very well done Simon, the drawings are beautiful.

Thanks mate! and you too! Hope the new Christchurch quakes haven't affected you.

All this well! Yes, it has been a Rock & roll time for Christchurch within that last 24 hours.

5 large earthquakes within 2 hours. The first was 5.8 and hit at 1.58pm yesterday, followed by a 5.3 quake at 2.06pm. At 2.14pm there was a 4.2 magnitude one but the largest was 6.0 and struck at 3.18pm. It was followed by a 5.0 magnitude jolt at 3.50pm.

Since 4:00pm yesterday they have recorded 21 earthquakes between 3.2 and 5.1 magnitude.

Off to Christchurch today for Christmas with the family.

Just a little side note on the Christchurch earthquakes, that I though some people may found interesting.
 
Since the first major shake in September over a year ago were has been 10,000 earthquakes and aftershocks. They had demolished 900 buildings in the central business district (CBD) and still have have 400 to be demolished. They have demolished 12 homes and were are 5000-6000 homes to be demolished.

Four years ago on this day I started my initial U-boat drawing. It started out as U-218 at 1: 70 scale, and over this time it have grown into U-1308 at 1: 32 scale ;D Again I would like to thanks everyone in this forum who has helped me. There is in no way I could get the level of detail I wanted for U-1308 without your help!

You could say that a little part of everyone from this forum is in my drawing :) :)

 Sometime I wonder if I am adding too much detail and accurately. I have just added over 1,000 grid holes to the Conning Tower floor plate, with correct spacing and alignment  ;D ;D

Light touch on the weathering... Period markings... Canvas looks scale to the boat... Figures on the deck to add life... I like it!
