turnerdad Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 Just, er, well words fail me. I would love to see it in the flesh, but great pics so I will cope. Man....simply stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbudde Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Superb built.I love the look of all three. i always liked the british carriers, although I don't like the ugly ramps at all, which spoils the sleek look of the ship. I would built them only completly flat without the ramp. A personal taste of mine. :wow: Edit: A taste of me or a taste of mine = Mein persönlicher Geschmack? Please correct me, what is right. Cheers Edited May 11, 2015 by bbudde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbudde Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 taste of mine Thanks. I wasn't sure of it. But it's always easier to ask here, than to use a dictionary. So if you have a question for a german translation for something, then feel free to ask me. I would appreciate that. It's no problem. Thanks.

Roy vd M. Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 What an incredible spectacle.... simply stunning. Both scratchbuilt ships seem to have been built according to the same towering quality as the carrier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darby Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Jeez! I thought it was an actual phot when I first saw it! Cotton wool for goffer is ingenious and at that distance apart there's no excuse for not getting the line across for the RAS. Absolute masterpiece. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob G Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 Jeez! I thought it was an actual phot when I first saw it! Cotton wool for goffer is ingenious and at that distance apart there's no excuse for not getting the line across for the RAS. Absolute masterpiece. At that distance, you could heave a monkey's fist across the oggin. Very nice work indeed. The rusty patches on Yarmouth are stunningly realistic, but the whole thing oozes atmosphere. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiwiRho Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 You had me at "HMS Hermes"... Just kidding. But seriously, wow! Great job. A diarama worthy of a museum display surely. Reminded me of May/June 1982. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob 1 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I just looked through the photos again on page 1, and still think this is the best naval diorama I've ever seen! Such a great subject; the already classic Hermes with usual Sea Harriers and less than usual RAF Harrier GR3s on board, and her famous escorts; I remember well following the Falklands conflict closely on the news at the time and this diorama is a great reminder. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
