I've used this site and specifically this board for inspiration and education in modeling a number of 1/1200 ships from Langton and GHQ. There are some incredibly talented modelers here and I thank you for the advice, photos and knowledge you've shared. If you don't mind I thought it would be alright to share a few photos of this last build, rather than just reading and looking at the latest creations? Thanks!

Very good. Are those etched brass sails? |

Wow Jim, really impeccable, beautiful work! And I think your color choice for the hull is particularly attractive. May I ask what paint is that? - James |

Thank you all for the compliments. They are very much appreciated. @gaiusrabirius; The sails are Langton's 'Easy Sails Set' for 3 deck ships.
@James; I actually mixed this color using PollyScale PRR Maroon and Vallejo Scrofulous Brown until I got a color close to a illustration I'd seen online. There's also an undercoating of yellow (that paint made the ship look too British so I covered it up) :) |

Very impressive work, Jim. Now you are one those who inspire others. |

Super job Jim! Very nice build, like your others. I think you are the one to inspire as Jeff says. Oh, and welcome to TMP!
Regards,

Nice one Jim as always. I welcome you too. You have become a teacher now. I stand in your shadow.
Be safe

I'm still learning much as I go along. There's always new things from James, Vol, Rory and many more. Cheers and thanks for the welcome to TMP. |

Great job. The hull color is brilliant! |
| Nightmoss | 25 Nov 2013 10:07 a.m. PST |
James, I told you the wrong maroon color. It's Polly Scale E/L, not PRR maroon. (Erie/Lackawanna). |
| whitejamest | 25 Nov 2013 7:22 p.m. PST |
Thanks for the color info Jim, it's a really attractive mix you came up with. (I'm sad Testors bought the Polly Scale line only to discontinue the acrylics, and produce enamels instead. I stocked up on a few choice colors, but am going to have to find alternatives for others) |
| Nightmoss | 25 Nov 2013 8:14 p.m. PST |
Agreed, James. A number of model railroading friends aren't very happy with Testors for reasons you've mentioned above. Very unfortunate decision from our stand point. |

Jim your photos have dissapeared?????? |
| Nightmoss | 10 Feb 2014 8:30 a.m. PST |
Vol, they were corrupted when the Anchorage site was hacked. I don't know how I would go about relinking them now that I've reuploaded them to the site? I don't see any 'edit' functions here. I'll go look at the FAQ. |
| Volunteer | 12 Feb 2014 10:57 p.m. PST |
Just add them here again. You could have stuck them in the answer above. Just put them in one below this post. |
| Nightmoss | 13 Feb 2014 8:43 a.m. PST |
Like so? I added a couple more with the ST:

I think these are better quality photos than the first ones you started this post with Jim. |
