Forlornhope Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 Thanks for the further comments folks. This Canberra now has a new home with one of the real ships crew and he seems quite happy with it. I Bought a replacement kit with the the funds from that and will be doing HMAS Adelaide next for my Fleet Base West diorama. Also have another 2 Canberras to build after that for commissions for more navy folks. This is a popular ship. On a side note Orange Hobby have expressed interest in doing Canberra and Juan Carlos as 1/350 scale as well. See what happens there Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Graeme H Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I watched the big grey tinnie sail out Thursday morning when out for my early morning walk here in Townsville a 1/350 scale one would be very impressive 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meatbox8 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 A great looking model of a great looking ship. I noticed she has a ski-jump in the bow. Is the RAN going to get F-35Bs? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlornhope Posted November 11, 2016 Author Share Posted November 11, 2016 Thanks for the further comments, won't be too long till there are decals to do both sisters from the Orange Hobby kit so I will be building them together soon. The ships have the ramp at the bow because they are based on the Spanish Juan Carlos LHD and they operate the Harrier still. It was cheaper to keep the design as is for the RAN instead of doing a redesign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meatbox8 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Thanks for the info. Still, it leaves the option open for the F-35B in the future I suppose. Would be great to see the RAN FAA operating fixed wing again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 Excellent finish on these models. My compliments. I favor diorama's. Also compliments to the Australian government, for keeping their Armed Forces up to date. The view they have is sorely missed in Europe. I hope the new US administration will change this pattern of relying on the US. "keep your own pants up" Regards, Dirk The Netherlands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew.S Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Beautiful work! I like it a lot. May I ask you, how did you make the sea surface? Is that some silicon method? Thanks a lot in advance! Cheers, Andrew S. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forlornhope Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Thanks again folks, Andrew S the water surface is clear acrylic gel medium just dabbed on with a thick brush. You can get it from arts supplies stores and its pretty cheap and lasts ages. you need to dab on a couple of thin layers to build up the wave effect. Its really only good for calm water though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
