Courageous Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Absolutely stunning Mick, definitely a benchmark. I take it that the ships wake is done by using cotton wool and moving it around within acrylic water?

keefr22 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Absolutely brilliant modelling! I really like how you made the superb seascape a bit bigger than many people do as it gives a great impression of a small ship in a big sea! Lovely work!

robgizlu Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Wow - what a cracking result - the sea is just wonderful as is the textual shading on the model. The WIP has been a masterclass One to be very proud of and hard to believe that it's 1/700 Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re; Ciara I did strip the paint as a certain person I know critcisied the painting. Correctly I might add . Anyway I have it beside my desk to be finished this year as I have the LÉ Róisín waiting to built. Love the work on the destroyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrzeM Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 It's quite unbelievable that's 1/700! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutcastJoel Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 This is exceptional! It is really hard to believe that this is the same kit, or even the same scale as my attempt at an IBG hunt class. The execution is so sharp and the work on shading and rust is just mind blowing.

Michael M Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Thanks, there is a lot of aftermarket stuff there, the model on it's own isn't really dazzling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWM Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Really excellent result! The model is well detailed but also water is done amazing and perfectly. Congrats! I am truly impressed after my last attempt to do ORP Burza in 1:400, where details were sometime for me to small and fiddly, and here it is 1:700... Regards JWM P.S. Perhaps black or dark blue grey frame will more harmonize with colors of scene.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
