Edwin Korstanje Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 The new year has started again and again many assignments are ready and can already post some photos. May build 4 coaster cargo ships for a new customer. Because I did not get a fixed scale, but a budget and I just started building it. after three times with great failures, finally the shape of the bow found for this small scale. I found a Stud up hull really terribly ugly and finally opted for a 9, 2 stud wide snot hull that is sufficient. Think that the total model is approximately between 45 and 50 cm long and in scale somewhere between 1: 250 to 1: 280.

Edwin Korstanje Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 After a few days worried with health, fortunately can continue with the coaster vessels and the hulls are almost finished. SNOT hulls are quite difficult in such a small scale.

Edwin Korstanje Posted January 28, 2019 Author Posted January 28, 2019 Thanks guys for the great reactions. Today was the delivery of the four coaster boats for Vertom and the management was very pleased with the models and received a few follow-up assignments.The best thing with episodes on customers of models is the astonished faces of the people that it is made of Lego and always produces a big smile and that still gives me satisfaction. Fortunately yesterday some quick studio photos taken.
