Michael M Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 It's DONE. WIP is HERE . Model itself is a bit on the 'primitive' side, but the ship itself is priceless. I've added Masts form universal Master sets, ratlines from Artwox PE and sailors form ION Model. I'll stop here for a moment, because they're BRILLIANT. I've used NS before and they did the job and were great a few years back, but these are light years ahead. Print is very good quality, they have nice poses, resin isn't brittle. I actually managed to brake off only one head in 30 sailors ( and I did glue it back, so no losses whatsoever ) and they're not like inflated version of Arnold Shwarzenegger like the good old NS ones Now enough of talking, pictures: Cheers Mick 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Well here's one new reader for the WIP. She looks fantastic. Knowing what Bronco's tanks are like I can only imagine the fun you had with the kit but it's paid off handsomely. The figures really bring it to life, even though I can hardly see them. Excellent work. Well done!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Great work, she looks fantastic. Love the figures too, so I'll have to track them down myself. Looks like the Big H sell them but out-of-stock. Stuart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRMRL Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 That's a very nice finish. I'm really intrigued by these types of ships, all the odd design evolutions between HMS Warrior and HMS Dreadnaught, including the masted turret ships like this one. Beautiful display and finish, makes a really nice scene, thanks for sharing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The information finally clicked in ,😁 those newspapers, is that a kind of unofficial standard procedure? That would look cool if I'll be working on something more modern, or maybe it's a practice with long tradition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
