robgizlu Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 Superb build IMHO - I really admire the tones and weathering - spot on. Certain of my "Coastal" colleagues will laugh - but what did you use for the insulators (uniformly sized and rounded!)? The Case really sets it off One to be proud of Rob 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted November 22, 2018 Share Posted November 22, 2018 An absolutely superb build. If this is your first ship you must carry on, as I'm sure future builds will amaze us even more! Agree with Rob on those weathering tones, subtle and realistic, spot on indeed. Well done. Terry 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Dead lush that is: your eye just gets pulled from one detail to the next. Colour and lighting are superb in combination. Bravo sir! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DŽAR Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 hello, you have a beautifully crafted model, perfectly polished, I like it very much, I have not seen such a thing here. I do not care about modern combat ships, I can not do much about them, I rather do sailboats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehnz Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Wish I'd never seen this, but with Warspite in the header I was hooked. I can't afford it, I haven't the room for one or the skills to build one but after seeing this one, I so want one. It looks fantastic.

Oberleutnant Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Possibly the best ship model I've come across - definitely the best Warspite one. Particularly enjoy the weathering and matt finish. Been given this kit for Christmas and I'd be happy if it looks 70% of this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
