spaddad Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Hi Andrew, What have you been up to since completing this dio. would love to see anything you've done since, spad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudioN Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I had been watching the build, but missed the final result, so I'm glad the thread has resurfaced. Talking about techniques learned in the process... could you please explain how you manage to scale yourself down to 1:350, do the job then rescale yourself up to human size? Never seen anything like this... breathtaking. Bravo! Claudio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 As all have said here, cracking museum display this is. Many hours work here. Fantastic display is all I can say. (I am a poet and did'nt know it). You can be proud of this one Andrew. foxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippo the Zipdrive Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 (edited) Absolutely amazing craftsmanship. There isn't much more to say compared with 7 pages of praise. 5.5 years is long but the result speak for itself! Well done Andrew. I realy love the watermodelling. I wish I could see it in person. Now I'm gonna go and spend a couple of hours reading the WIP thread. \\Dan Edited January 9, 2017 by Zippo the Zipdrive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the MDman Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Well, what can I add, I can only fully agree with all the above! And, finally someone convinced me to start my Nimitz. Thank you for sharing!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragtag Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 I remember seeing this when it was first posted and it's just as impressive now - I particularly admire the rusting effects. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dancona Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Ship modelling at the highest level, this for me, is just pure art 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul178 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I have been drawn back to this thread so many times now and it is great to see new members discovering this work of art. On a sombre note read what the ships and their men were going into. Its a long thread but an insight into the Falklands war.on the lower decks was like from a nineteen year old Sailor. https://www.arrse.co.uk/community/threads/falklands-war-hms-argonaut.244349/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bianfuxia Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 I've just seen this for the first time and it really is remarkable. Congratulations on a really amazing work of modeling art. I don't mind saying this is probably one of, if not the, best models I think I've ever seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark4700 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Wow. I have to say that this is the best model of any type that I have seen, ever. The attention to detail is mind boggling. The sea looks incredible and the whole thing looks like photographs of the real thing. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just absolutely superb in every way. Quite amazing. Laurie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPG Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Absolutely stunning. 7 pages of admiring comments says it all. The work and detail in the aircraft and crew alone is unbelievable, better than some 1/72nd scale I've seen. Museum piece. Andy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blastvader Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I don't think there are enough superlatives in the English language to adequately describe how I feel about this build. But I'll start with 'Stunning'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 A staggering, monumental piece of work Andrew. Congratulations on producing something that could be stared at for hours without growing tired of looking. Exquisite! Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors54 Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 I've not trawled the ship section on Britmodeller until recently and I've got to say this is an absolutely exquisite model in every way and for it to be mostly scratch built just boggles the mind. For someone just starting his first serious 1/350 ship build it's both frightening and inspirational at the same time. Some pictures just take you to the wilds of the South Atlantic in 1982, just brilliant. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
