1/350 HMS Resolution 1942

[thekz]

 

 

The model is a deep conversion of the Warspite kit from Trumpeter. Also used some Warspite parts from Academy, PE from different manufacturers (mainly North Star) and a small set (crane arm, catapult, funnel grill, radars) of author's PE

Thanks to those who helped to write the story

I don't mind to hear critical comments

All great, just still no way to see in any detail the crew members of the tugboat and the sailing boat, and without looking at them, how's the author planning to make us believe that the whole scene is set somewhere near Africa?

Great looking build!! Thanks for sharing this.

Superb modelling, really excellent build, paint and the details are fantastic - love all the crew figures! The sea looks brilliant too!

 

Great work all round!

Fantastic, so dynamic with a working crew.

Oh wow!

[MRMRL]

That's superb, lots of admiration for anyone doing a deep conversion, I've not got the skills for that. Souch detail to enjoy in a really busy scene. My favourite bit of the whole thing is the dirty deck, looks great.

[echen]

Fabulous build. The detail is outstanding.

[Zoran Srb]

WOW!!!! Well, Sir, your diligent work has yielded superb results!!! She's magnificent!!! A spetially considering that, this is mostly scratch built!!! You, Sir, went waaayyy above and beyond !!! CONGRATS !!!!

With what next insanity will you grace us with, after, of course (well deserved) break, from kitbashing?

I'm going to wait a little while to answer that question, insanity is in the planning stages

       G'day @thekz, that's an incredible model of a tough-looking ship. It's a peaceful setting but you have crammed so much detail into it. All those carved crew figures alone are quite an achievement but I think too many of them are not 'gainfully employed'. 🤣

       It's a superb job here, very well done. Regards, Jeff.

Really great work, so happy to see this finished and appreciate it in all its glory.

 

A sadly overlooked class in general, I have a soft spot for Resolution aesthetically. I feel you've nailed every aspect, from the camo to the tiny details that realy bring it to life.

Really I was trying to make the model look believable, although a lot of the end result is a figment of my imagination. The colours of the camouflage and the colouring of the lifeboats, for example.

KZ - Superb build - and as is usual for you - brimming with detail and action - Sooo much to look at 

Sea, build, rigging and all the peripheral details add up to a show winner 

What's next?

An incredibly detailed rendition of a working ship, it's been a pleasure to follow your build from start to finish.

Amazing build and details just have to keep looking over the photos to find new details each time.   

 

Stay Safe

She looks sublime. And I love the camouflage scheme. Excellent job.

[Autle]

Wow, wow and wow, that's an absolute riot of awesome. I've spent ages looking already and seen something different each time. This is why I love ship modelling.

[Tallyho]

Wow, exceptional work! Could sit and look at that for hours and still see something new each time 🏆

[Faraway]

Outstanding.

A masterful example of the modellers art.

SO busy, you can almost feel the activity.

[Hunker]

An absolutely beautiful model. Congratulations.

[AeroNauticalEngineer]

Incredible, it looks just as busy as a real ship, great job

[theskits62]

That is absolutely brilliant, the amount of detail that you have crammed into it beggars belief ! Like a few people have already said, you could look at that for hours and still see see something new each time.
