Jason Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 I really think those are the best ships I've ever seen. That first picture only needs a backdrop to be real. Agree with this ....Fantastic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewa Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Thanks very much everyone, I gave my office a massive clean up yesterday so should have space to work on Hermes now...    @Major Eazy Very good work, aren't those ships a bit too close to each other? Do you plan to make it look like they're transferring crew or supplies while on the move?  Broadsword's positioning is just right - she'll be replenishing fuel from Hermes - in fact I'll probably have them about to connect rather than being joined to make the composition a touch easier. Yarmouth is a little close - scale 90ft separation - but not unrealistically so, afterall the list of RN ships that have bumped into other RN ships is a very long one.  Besides at around 800x450mm, the base fits into my display cabinet with under 5mm clearance so not a lot I could do there!  A 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really good work there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roof Rat Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Stunning, the completed package should be fantastic, seeing the finish on these two has taken me back 30 and a bit years. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
