Jockster Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Ridiculous amount of detail in a model so small, very impressive, how long did this take you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxy Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 You must have a better handle than molly. Give us a break mate. Cannot call you MTD. Very nice build by the way, she looks the part, and looks like a 1/350 scale ship, nice pictures. Cheers foxy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paganpete Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 1/72 you say! Very nice, great detailing; I can't even see things that small anymore, (I know, I have to go to the toilet multiple times per day). Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mollythedog Posted September 19, 2013 Author Share Posted September 19, 2013 HMCS Humberstone, a British built Castle,one of 12 operated by the Royal Canadian Navy,and one of the few that appears not to have been camouflaged,and like most Canadian Castles,fitted with Type 272 SW radar. HMCS Castle 1 by plastichacker, on Flickr HMCS Castle 2 by plastichacker, on Flickr There is a very nice 1/350 Flower Class here on BM, shown with a matchbox.....I could fit my Castles (which were 50 feet longer than the Flowers) inside the box,diagonally. Couldn't resist making the comparison,it is a pity I don't have access to the same sort of lighting studio that model had. HMCS Castle 3 by plastichacker, on Flickr MTD is fine by me,it reminds me of my much loved,and sadly missed Cairn Terrier,now supplanted by an insane Jack Russell ,I suppose I could change it to "Vinnythedog" !

Sgt.Squarehead Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Are we sure it's not the Matchbox kit on a cunningly disguised bucket? Seriously, that is incredible.....Don't think I've ever seen so much detail on something quite so small! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
