beefy66 Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Well calling this one done a very old kit from the sixties it is older than me but with the addition of Atlantic models excellent PE and a few scratch built small bits it has given the old girl a new lease of life. The kit is boxed as Royal Sovereign but Peter Halls PE allows you to build as any of the class for reference I used the RA Burt books of Battleships from 1900 to 1945 I went for Resolution because it was built on the River Tyne at the Palmers yard in Jarrow one of my goals is the build as many Tyne built ships as I can. All paints used are colourcoats a light oil wash for some weathering I was aiming for the ship in her 1939 configuration at the outbreak of WW2 may not be 100% but near enough for me.

Stay safe Kev Cheers Kev as you know I have a couple of stalled builds so will get on with one of them when I can get some time probably HMS York. Going to busy over the next few weeks helping my son with some work on his new house so time for models will be a bit sparse for a while.

MRMRL Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Hi Beefy, this is a great job of an R class, the detail does make a difference to the base kit. I really like the effect you've got on the deck, with the lighter bit forw and more stained as you head aft. I'd love to add a ship of this class to my stash, but I don't deviate from the 1:350, so i may be waiting a while 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 That's a smashing job you've done on this veteran kit. Very well done indeed. It's definitely an under-modelled class of quite an attractive ship. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Great result there Beefy, especially when the scale is outside your comfort zone. A job well done. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adm Lord De Univers Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Really nice end product Mr Beefy, as Jamie has said an undermodelled and undervalued class, so glad to see this. Rigging looks especially fantastic. David 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Gidday Beefy, that's a great model of the ship. She has a Vice-Admiral on board I see? You've rekindled my desire to build one of the class too. Very well done. Regards, Jeff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Jeff and well spotted I had no flags with the kit so used up some from the spares using the smallest I could find the admirals flag was from my KGV unused spares looks about right I thought.

Maginot Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 What a grand rendering of a grand ship. Nice diorama base and a striking presentation of the model with White Ensign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
