Jnkm13 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Looks great! I would never dream of achieving such levels of weathering. Just one feedback, i hope you don't mind. A stray dog or cat walking in front of the car would add something to this diorama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpnuts Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Hi all been going through some of my old builds and I still think this is one of my best, if not the best (even over the French galley the la reale) I can't believe I've built 162 kits in the 5 yrs since I got back into plastic kits (and some of them have been huge ( the 1/4 Ducati to say the least) and the big ships) 162 is a conservative estimate as that's what I still have, I've sold some and binned some as well it's probably up near 200 in reality. I would just like to say thanks for watching as I've gone along. If I'd stuck to sctatch building ships that number would be nearer 4 yes that's right I would have scratch built 4 ships in the same time, can you tell why I like plastic kits.
