rich2010 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Pleased to show my effort at Dragon's Type 45. As with my recent T23, 1/700 is pretty small, I used the included PE & WEM/ Colourcoats paints. Seascape copied from Scale-a-ton on youtube - happy with it, but as with the weathering on the ship itself the sea is probably a bit 'overboard'. I went for 6 months in continuous North Sea, force 5 look... Weathering doesn't look as dodgy in real life - extreme close up with iphone. Any comments/ recommendations welcome. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Gidday again Richard, as with your Type 23 HMS Montrose I think both the model and the sea are very good. I didn't notice that small boat at first, hence I wondered what that gantry type thing was doing. Now it's obvious - small boat launch and recovery. As I said, it's a good model. But I think she's an ugly ship - beauty (or the lack of) in the eye of the beholder and all that! 🙂 No offence meant. Regards, Jeff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I have to agree with Jeff I am not one for these modern ships no character to them I think but you have done a cracking job with the build and display 👍 beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewbacca Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Agree with what everyone else has said. Great model and great seascape. Not sure I'd fancy being the seaboat coxswain in those weather conditions though! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 I think that sea is better than some of the scaleaton videos this post directed me to (thank you)! Brilliant build too. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 What a fantastic piece of work, the model is beautiful, the sea is very realistic well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
