robgizlu Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The Build log is here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235070426-1350-hms-kent-county-class-cruiser-1941/ Thanks are due to Richard Dennis @dickrd and Jamie Duff @Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies for their considerable input into the Colour scheme, which differs substantially from previous interpretations. I've made extensive use of 3 D printed items from https://micromaster.co.nz/ which IMHO have set new standards in small scale detailed realism HMS Berwick, a sister vessel to HMS Kent along soon Thanks for looking Rob 67 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

socjo1 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 (edited) Thank you (and for Jamie!) for very comprehensive research and building-relation. I have this kit in my stash so you will be my Cicerones. Beautifull model, deeply detailed and well balanced in terms of painting, weathering and so on. I waited for every following part of your fascinating series and now I am waiting for your next building blog (but - don't you need take a rest?). Once more many thanks and best regards, Michal.

Dancona Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Outstanding modelmaking, as I think I said before, beautifully balanced weathering, appears a hell of a lot bigger than it really is, it really looks like it belongs in a museum !

Matt Parvis Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Great work Rob, she's a beauty. I've always admired your ability to work neat and clean and still end up with a result that looks completely natural and this one certainly fits that description.

stevehnz Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Fantastic Rob, truly a thing of beauty. The lines of the Counties are quite superb, something even all that camo cannot disguise. I think the beauty of your details overcomes even that. Steve 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Absolutely fantastic result there Rob, a real stunner! Your work is so neat and tidy, with such meticulous detail, yet the end result looks so very realistic with your subtle approach to weathering. A real inspiration. Well done!
