HobbyBoss HMS Lord Nelson 1/350

[Micha_Pol]

Built and painted the pre-Dreadnought HMS Lord Nelson. Overall a great model, sure some things needed tweaking but overall what is in the box is a good basis for creating a memorable model. For those who followed me in the "work in progress" section: thank you for your support. Powerful-looking, isn´t she...

Fantastic work Micha love the paintwork and weathering I have one of the HB French pre Dreadnought kits to eventually build I'll reference your WIP.

Thanks a lot. Which ship t will you be building? Must be one of the Danton class. I have a half--completed Condorcet here, waiting to be finished. Best of luck with the build.

Micha - that is excellent - very crisp detail and I particularly like the hull tones and the rigging

Gosh - if I were asked for a visual definition of steam punk, I'd show them this. It seems like the guns and lifeboats are jostling each other for a bit of space!
 

Immaculate build, wonderful paintwork and full of character. Love it.

All I can do is agree with everyone else.  A beautiful build, showing off a really purposeful ship

Very, very well done!! I see that you started ageing/weathering them. It gives them some life, good on you, congrats!! Hope to see next one soon, cheers!

There's something about the stout appearance of the pre-dreadnoughts that makes them look like real bruisers, love it!

Some really nice work there; weathering looks particularly effective, great stuff.

Cheers, Richard.

Thanks a lot. I am actually still unsure if weathering was the right idea, but I agree it looks more "alive". Still, I might do it on some but not all ships. Esp. pre-1900 ships are often very, very clean, nearly spotless in their white and yellow "victorian" paintowork. .

Fantastic work, definitely has character.
