colihamp Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Okay, so this is my first attempt having taken up modelling a couple of weeks ago. I learned lots (mostly about what not to do after I'd done it) and really enjoyed building the kit. Special thanks to Phil Reeder for his help, advice and encouragement on the seascape. Cheers, Colin. *** UPDATE POSTED - Page 2 *** *** UPDATE POSTED - Page 2 *** Edited June 25, 2012 by colihamp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Excellent build, you have really captured the movement with the seascape, the overhead shoots look life like, looks like it's moving as you look at them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tripehound Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Two weeks? At that rate you're going to be World Class come June. The headless child in the first pic's a bit macabre though - how about a nice blue sheet with some cotton wool clouds next time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SARowl Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 What a top job for two weeks! For your next RN build, the Ensign is never flown from the stern mast whilst at sea, it is flown from the masthead. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
