Franck,
The progress looks good !!!!
Yes, I will be following this closely, because you are modeling "railroad" and "The sea and ships".

I don't think there a a lot of us out here, and as much as I am enjoying what I am doing with my modules, I am also enjoying watching your Norway Harbor taking shape.
At 1:87 scale, I can get away with a lot of "hinting at detail".
At 1: 13.7 scale, you almost have to model every nut, bolt and washer, not to mention the individual scales on each fish !
OK, maybe not every "scale", on every fish
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

For the fish I have marvelous one mold by an english cratfmen. For the rest, effectvly I have no choice, yesturday I put nail to hold the handle The advantage is that the detail are big scale, so it's easier to model it.

Looking really good, and a great idea for a small layout!
Slightly off topic, but here's a video showing Lofoten from the cockpit of an F-16 fighter. The video was shot last summer by the Norwegian armed forces, in conjunction with the 40y anniversary of the F-16. Just sit back and enjoy the ride!: http://www.aftenposten.no/webtv/Slik-har...40168.html

Aaahhrrrrr, That be a fine vessel you got thar, matie !!
Bit of a small pilot house, but the interior details there are just perfect.
The two tubs-O-fish, looks like the marnin's been a profitable one.
Hopin' no one trips on, them thar boots :o
With a life raft, a Radar antenna, lights, handrails, and radio antennas, the pilot house roof's a bit crowded....
Waiting to see what other goodies you're going to add.

I spent a lot of time to finish my boat, I'm not a model boat builder so It's quite boring.
I just finish a snow plow inspired by a narrow gauge model from Germany
I just finish a snow plow connect to a loco inspired by a narrow gauge model in Italy.
I add also light to my building.
I test also a new kind of snow because I'm fully satisfied by this one.
This week end I wil do an exhibition near Bruxelles with the woolacombe bay.

Hope the exhibition goes well. You've done a lot of really nice work, and should get a lot of praising comments.

For something that was "quite boring" You did an excellent job doing it. Looks mighty darn nice to me !
