ErikT Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 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: 33 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norseman 3:16 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 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, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 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, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 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, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich75 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Lovely job real sense of motion too, I couldn't even see the parts in 1/700! One of my favourite ships in fact.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Juliet Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Spectacular! Superb base as well. Respect to you, sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 This is outstanding work in such a small scale. Looks bigger! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adm Lord De Univers Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 Still learning a lot? You should be a teacher by the looks of it, looks fantastic, and the seascape is very well done too. Not sure I'd want to ride round on top of a 5.25in turret in any sort of seaway mind. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.au Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Everything above the table it’s sitting on is simply superb (and the table isn’t bad either). Edited July 17, 2022 by mark.au Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
