ArnoldAmbrose Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Gidday Rob, that's absolutely superb. And not just simply as a model, but as the scene you've portrayed. Extremely well done. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich75 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Good grief! That's outstanding great photos too, there's a real sense of movement in the pictures there, top class 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnWS Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 WOW! Another awesome build Rob. That 1st photo looks like a colourized version of the photo of the actual ship. IMHO the weathering can't look any better. The figures really add to the realism of the presentation. Did you use a microscope when painting the figures?

100SQN Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Excellent work again Rob. Fantastic water effects. Is just me or does it look like raining in the close up photos ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard E Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 That's exquisite Rob, not only have you captured the ship perfectly you have also recreated its natural environment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 'patter' effect on the sea surface. Yeah, it's a great model. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celestialsphere Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 We are not worthy... The details, the weathering, the wild and wasteful ocean. Awesome. Cheers Andrew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micha_Pol Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Really cool, very real-looking model. Also love the water, the color is just as I imagine the Atlantic to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Wow! This is awesome, and I had to recheck the scale because I thought it was 1/72! Flowers always attract my interest. Well done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Cracking job build and weathering really capture the look of a hard worked ship and agree with the others about the rainy look of the water splashing typical Atlantic winter conditions. Stay Safe beefy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi and thanks - that wasn't the intention but the heat from the blow torch which forms the wave-like undulations, also gives the surface that "ripple" effect that you see when wind blows across it.

Faraway Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 That turned out ok. What am I saying, ok ? It is absolutely stunning, a black and white photo and it would be impossible to tell real from model. Yet again, you’ve set the bar higher. Jon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
