Michi, I would like to know, how long did you need to convert and paint that marvellous steamer?

Whoops, fixed that! I had complications with the profile set up and simply filled in something (my age is correct now as well).

The building and painting took me from March to May this year (about eight weeks or 50 hours).







The cargo bay may contain quite an expedition force of 1/48th scale models instead of bulk loads as well:




























And alternating loads as well:

I was looking at that set in the Playmobil catalog and thinking about getting one. Although I am not nearly that talented. So realistic. you must have sent some time on a cargo or two.

Clearly the work in progress shots are just to cover up your illegal ownership of a Shrink Ray 

Fantastic stuff.
