HMNZS Canterbury


Recommended Posts

Please be very gentle with me as I haven't done any maritime modelling for years and I know this isn't very good. I picked this little Leander up on a whim at Telford this year and had great fun with her.  Inspired by but not a patch on the great work by MollytheDog I give you HMNZS Canterbury. The pennant numbers are too big but all I had and I just couldn't paint the kiwi on the funnel small enough. Just need a 1/1250 scale Wasp.

It is amazing that the lens has caught all the brush marks that are invisible to the naked eye!

Good job! Nice to know I have encouraged someone else to have a go-if you could see some of my efforts in the past! But perhaps not......

1250 is not the easiest to start on,or get back into modelling with,but regardless of size,it is just modelling-I look forward to seeing the next.

 

cheers

PS I have made a pretty decent Wasp in 1250 but they are very difficult to photo

Lovely to see a model of one of my favourites, the Leanders served New Zealand so well (IMHO).  Good model for such a tiny scale, I struggle with 1/350!  A 1/350 ANZAC's on my wishlist...

 

Well done and thanks for sharing.
