robgizlu Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Michael - super work as ever! I like the sculpting What putty did you use? I'm loving that case - possible to have a web contact - I'm thinking of getting one for the B Thanks Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Thanks. I used 8 year old MIlliput for those blastbags Had to scrape off the hardened shell, but underneath it was OK. As for display, here is the website of that crowd, but they don't even have the English version.... http://acrylex.pl . To be honest I can't imagine case like that coming to UK from Poland in one piece... I work with couriers all the time, I've seen what they do with packages.

beefy66 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 You can not rush a good job and you going at this pace means I can take notes and then understand how you got the great paint job to try and use on some of my future projects keep it going please.

Michael M Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Now grey on these bits done, time to move on to the black on turret tops and funnel caps..... Cheers Mick Edited November 25, 2018 by Michael M 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 That is looking really good, as good as one of these could look anyway. I can only think the French were between naval architects when this was designed, its so ....untidy.... Not a commentary on your modelling though, that's excellent, you've inspired me to move a HMS Lord Nelson onto my to buy list. Steve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael M Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 I like those bit 'special' ships, the ones regarded as good looking ones are booring 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 You could never describe the Danton as boring, maybe I just need to see the positives in her design & think of it as having character. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted December 1, 2018 Author Share Posted December 1, 2018 (edited) Thanks, nice to see that someone is still watching I'm actually experimenting with black on sth else at the moment, but that's kinda 'quick project' allowing me to develop or test new things, without fouling the big boy here Little off top but I don't think it's worth of separate thread, best fun will be my first attempt at water Edited December 1, 2018 by Michael M 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugle07 Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 Michael, as always your painting is stunning! Like the little destroyer, or whatever it is, as well. What kit is it? Geoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael M Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 It's S-model 1:700 Imperial Chinese Navy protected cruiser Tsi Yuen My first veture into 1:700. Good fun. Nearly done, just few PE bits left and painting. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 With all that stuff to put onto the cruiser, that'll look rather nice and busy. Stuart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

French archives shared them for free at some stage about 10 years ago and then changed their minds and started charging for them. I was lucky enough to get them for free If you want them PM me with e-mail address. Can you share that with me? My e-mail address is [email protected]. Thank you.

phoscar Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 Hello, It is absolutely breathtaking, beautiful and at the same time a source of inspiration (although I doubt more than strongly to be able to imitate this one day). A beautiful lesson to know how to do. Thank you, Monsieur. Marc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
