Silver Fox Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 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! I'lll try for better photos under natural light 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 For all the limitations of such a tiny scale, I reckon it came up OK, it sure looks like what it's 'sposed to. I don't like your chanses of a 1/1250 wasp though. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celt Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 It looks OK to me,I can not imagine doing work in a scale as small as this,my chubby fingers and bad eyes can only just manage 1/72.Good job. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollythedog Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 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 mtd PS I have made a pretty decent Wasp in 1250 but they are very difficult to photo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkippyNZ Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
