    This is a prime example of excellent craftsmanship. Great subject too.
    Boris does amazing work in brass. Oh I wish I could just sit over his shoulder and learn.
    How much longer do you think you need to put into this sub before you think it will be done?
    If you can cut, drill, saw, hit things and swear a lot, you're well on the way to building a working model sub.

            Amazing. That is an heirloom.

              Yes, I would like to leave this model to my daughter after I leave, as a memory.

                  I bring to your attention my latest work. This is a WWI model of a submarine SM U-151, former commercial boat "Deutschland", converted into a military one. The model is made on a scale of 1:35 and has a length of 186 cm. The model is made with a very high quality and will be a wonderful decoration for any collection or room. Anyone can purchase this model. For ordering this model, write to my E-Mail:
                  lazarkerzmann@gmx.de
                  Price - after the question.

                    Wow, there are few builders to compare your work to. I hope that says enough. I could never dream of even approaching your levels of skill dedication and patience.
