I can turn out some pretty decent models out of kits, but this guy just puts me, and most other modellers, completely to shame. That's amazing!


In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

That is just unbelievable. He was even able to make aircraft with the same method.

My dad used to build boats too - amazing stuff (not with matchsticks though) - with full rigging and sewn sails. Just can't even comprehend their skills and patience.
