HMS Vanguard (S28) SSBN (Bronco Models 1:350)


Recommended Posts

Picked this up as a way of getting back to the bench after a long dry period in 2020. Brush painted with Tamiya Acrylics, finished with a brush painted coat of floor polish. Base is an old piece of scrap wood (I think it was from an old chopping board that split) with a couple of coatings of decking oil. Build thread (limited that it is) can be found here.

 

thanks for looking.

Nice job Simon, it's got a very Gerry Anderson 'Submarine of the future' look about it B) 

 

Cheers,

Thanks. I know what you mean. The Astute class sub I built while back has a similar “futuristic” look - may be a feature of UK sub designers?

Gidday Simon, I think that's a very good-looking model. I'd very much like to see it at WASMEx this year. Regards, Jeff.

thanks - kind of you to say so, however not sure it’s really that sort of standard. The photos are hiding a fair bit!

Gidday, Yes it is. Besides, there isn't a set 'standard' for models to achieve before they can be entered. And I also used to feel the same way. But not anymore. I've been submitting models now for about five years I think, and some of them are a bit rough or crude. But I enjoy submitting them, hoping to encourage more 'average' (ie the majority of us) modelers to do the same. And the final clincher - subs are a bit under represented. Please give it some thought. Regards, Jeff.
