Hello Everyone.
Here are some pictures I took a few hours ago, while I was at a friend’s house.
Hope you enjoy.
Note I am in the process of building the Dumas Trojan F31 with Z Drives. I am watching closely all the Threads re this kit. Great work I see.
I am taking pictures of every step I make during assembly .So you can enjoy.
Will be back soon.

Thanks Doug! Yes, mine is still in the box awaiting its turn on the building bench.

The model in the video is Graupners. The still photos are of the real JV.

Stephan,
It seems that going from building a Jules Verne to a Trojan kit is like giving up cavier in favor of some leftover chicken out of the KFC dumpster!

The Jules Verne is an amazing model, and you've done a great job on it. I am currently bashing my Trojan model together in hopes some day I can build up to a Jules Verne model.

Hello Dave

Slowly slowly catch the monkey. I always believed that if one works slowly and dedicated, the result will be worthy.

Than again always like what you do, and try doing better the next time.

Thanks

"slowly and dedicated, ...worthy"

Then I shall be truly worthy, for I am the slowest of all...
I hope my Trojan thread shows you what NOT to do when it comes to the hull at least, which was my biggest problem. I think perhaps a precast hull on future models will be the way to go...
