dnl42 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Excellent work! The model is beautifully detailed and finished. Excellent rigging, particularly that catenary. The water is quite well done; nice wave effects, excellent gloss. Bravo! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This time I'll write a few words about this photo. You won, I love it. Fine perspective, like photo made from low-flying airplane. Crew are standing or slowly walking, low speed, so atmosphere seems rather relaxing. However... these Oerlikons looking into the sky say something different... And this low-flying perspective. Fantastic! I'm adding elevated Oerlikons to my "must buy" or "must do" list. It gives "+10" to realism effect.

MRMRL Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 That is really nice, and the sea looks great, beautifully murky, perfect for a coastal region somewhere near blighty 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Michał Hi Michal Simon from Micromaster has promised some examples with the "barrel not in use" - just standing vertically as they appear in many of the WW2 photos His machine is down at the moment with normal service hopefully resuming after Christmas Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnWS Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 Another gorgeous master build, Rob. She could very easily be mistaken for a much larger scale model. The addition of the crew really brings the small size of these little ships into perspective. John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faraway Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 An excellent result. The colour of the water is perfect, just the same colour ‘greenish mudish’ that we get off the beach of my local seaside town of Clevedon. Jom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) Not sure I've ever used this word to describe a build before, but that is quite tasty. Not the sea mind, it's so realistic I wouldn't put my mouth anywhere near it... build, paint, weathering, rigging, all spot on. However, comparing against the photo does reveal some minor inaccuracies, namely the absence of barrage balloon and seagulls. The omission of the latter is, to my mind, a punishable offence at this level of modelling (though as a former coastal-resident I can quite understand why you'd omit the pesky little...).

vytautas Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 Looks brilliant. The model, of course, is excellent, but I liked the water the most. The photos are also great, they create a special mood. Vytautas 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry1954 Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Another fantastic result Rob. Especially like the way the seascape has come out - colour, texture and general "wetness", so very convincing and realistic. Well done! Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
