MODeller Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) I finished this one at the end of last year but due to ill health have not got around to taking some photos until today. I have had the kit for a very long time £1.65 on boxlid but only recently managed to get hold of the Atlantic etched brass set from WEM. This replaces the vinyl railings and also supplies other pieces but is not a huge set so some parts have been scratched/rebuilt. Painted entirely in Revell Aqua and the seascape is a mixture of Das clay and Polyfilla painted in artists tubed acrylic paints.I am very pleased how she has turned out so the long gestation was worth it!

Shar2 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 I like that a lot. Don't know the kit, but you've done a very nice job on her and the seascape. BTW what scale is she? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an old Frog kit but still avaliable in an Eastern Express boxing occasionally turns up on ebay, the scale is 1/131 which makes her around 400mm long.

Iain Ogilvie Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That's just brilliant! A real trip down memory lane - and it's come out superbly - many thanks for sharing Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbuna Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 That is a very nice build indeed...well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p-26luvr Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 A superior piece of modeling Brian. I particularly like the sea water effect, superb. It makes me think that maybe I should get out my old Matchbox Corvette & finish it off. I started it over 30 years ago, & it is nearly 3/4 done. WHAT DO YOU THINK?
