longshanks Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Nick that is truly inspirational !! Love the little dio's with figures The rigging an artistic masterpiece Nailed the seascape As I scrolled through the pics I was thinking this could be the real thing. Then you went to black and white and it was real!! etc. etc. Looking forward to your next build... Stay safe and avoid humans Kev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robgizlu Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 I agree - Magnificent. Detail everywhere - you just keep looking. Paint finish, rigging and figures particularly carry the day. The B&W pics look to be WW2 originals. I'd love to see this in the flesh. Congratulations Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
