Of course, it's hard to do when you are looking at a ship which is already at a small scale. That's why many of the museum pieces are 1:50 scale minimum. Keith. | ||

The good news is I learned a bit about carving along the way. To go any smaller I think I would go with a different type of design. I also decided not to bring it down the side edges as it gets to busy looking.   | ||

I will try them a little smaller when I go to actually add them. Thanks for your advice  Fyi I have bought the MK Jolly boat and plan to upscale it to 1/64 and possibly hang it off the stern davits. We will see ~ Regards | ||
