JimHead23 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Totally blown away but this! Absolutely outstanding. You could charge people to view! What are you going to do with it when it's finished? I'm sure any museum worth it's salt would queue up to own it. Regards Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafu Posted November 9, 2015 Author Share Posted November 9, 2015 Not sure what I'll do with it but all I can do is look at what needs to be done/bought next. After a weekend at Telford, I have the next three stages lined up so unless my new 1/32 Wessex takes over I should move along at a pace now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philtn Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Incredible work. Please tell me what you used for the weathering effects of the hull. Self mixed or produce washes? Really, really incredible p.s.: "the boring handrails"...I hear you mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul178 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Incredible indeed,its fantastic. Is the shed big enough to weather the other side or do you have to take it outside and do a 3 point turn? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wafu Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Incredible work. Please tell me what you used for the weathering effects of the hull. Self mixed or produce washes?Used both really, couldn't sell myself to the Spanish guy so went back to basics and used pastels and white spirit washes.

Eludia Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 That is amazing, museum-quality without a doubt Are you confident that you can get it out of the shed, or is this its final resting place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 I've just stumbled across this build which is just astonishing!. What fantastic detail and weathering. I'm knocked out by the water effects which are the final straw. Congratulations on such a wonderful build. Will it be portable? Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've made the base smaller so hopefully I will be able to transport it, just need to buy a van now, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooker Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) What an amazing model and the setting in which your landing craft is put, defies my imagination - with skills like that, I would say you were a maritime "Roy", builder. So what happens to your model once it comes out of your shed, where does it go then? Is your model made entirely from plastic, with the exception of the sand as the base for the water setting? Did you scratch build it from plans? I'm sure there is no kit at that scale - 7' x 4' if my memory serves me well.

Wafu Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 Hi Brooker. Thanks for the comments on my 'never ending saga' of a build. I'll answer your questions below, cheers. So what happens to your model once it comes out of your shed, where does it go then? To be honest, I'm not sure. I live near the Maritime museum in the South West of the U.K. So I might approach them to see if they are interested. I need to build a case for it and so will seek professional help from Just Bases in Devon. Is your model made entirely from plastic, with the exception of the sand as the base for the water setting? The model of the LCT Mk4 I'd Accurate Armours kit, a beast to say the least. I've added Italieri dock kits and an massive amount of Resicast Armour as the bulk of my builds. I have nearly finished the 102 figures that will adorn this scene. It's been a massive learning curve for me in my modelling skills but overall I've enjoyed the journey so far Thanks to you all for the kind comments, I must make an effort to get back to this. Cheers Woo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eludia Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 Just noticed that today is the 4th anniversary of your first post. This is modelling on a grand scale 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob 1 Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 It certainly is epic, but I can see the advantage of the large scale as you can get so much detail in at a good size, particularly with such a top rate finish - it must look stunning 'in the flesh' ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tzulscha Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Crikey! and Bikkie crumbs! That IS a brute isn't it? I applaud your endurance! Oh, and the build is brilliant sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
