ErikT Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I actually finished this a couple weeks ago, but this is the first opportunity I've had to upload some proper photos. My goal is to have a capital ship from each navy in WW2, and next up is an Iowa-class battleship. Overall, this one took a couple months, but it was a pretty fun build. I'm still learning a lot, which is one of my favourite parts of this hobby. I haven't built many ships yet, so the learning curve is still pretty steep. I documented the build here: Anydangways, here she is, all finished: 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman 3:16 Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 Gorgeous build - I need to read your 'work in progress' log in detail. Sea scene with figures too - Well done Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Gidday Erik, that's a first class build, and beautifully presented. She looks like she's in quite a hurry. So an Iowa class is next. What were you planning for the German, Japanese, French and Italian Navies? Regards, Jeff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikT Posted June 16 Author Share Posted June 16 Thanks for the compliments, everyone! I wanted to show her at full speed, mostly because I'm still not skilled enough at water to know when to tone it down. I already have 1/350 scale kits of the Bismarck and the Tirpitz awaiting construction, and I have a 1/700 scale Yamato that I completed years ago and which I shared here on this forum a few months back. I haven't purchased a French or Italian model kit yet, since I have a large pile of other kits to get through and I promised myself that I wouldn't buy any more until I take the backlog down a bit.

MRMRL Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 That's a really nice KGV. I'm very much loving the really subtle rust streak effects you've got going on there. I'm looking to add a little detail like that to my ship building and it's good to see that less really can be more on that front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
