Iain Ogilvie Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Now that's dedication! Sounds like you enjoyed it? Still plucking up courage to have a go at the Hood - ships look very complex to model and I'm a bit nervous about starting... Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still plucking up courage to have a go at the Hood - ships look very complex to model and I'm a bit nervous about starting... Iain Iain - to be honest I was quite pessimistic on starting this and decided from day one the best way to approach it would be a) get advise from Phil Reeder and break the build down to components which were built then painted off the hull and added in sequence - I must admit my biggest concern related to the creating of the sea whiched turned out ok in the end. All I can say is go for it and have enough room to build it. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Reeder Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well Done ,Paul! Excellent first attempt of a watery subject. Am I mistaken ,or has there been an upsurge in interest in Nautical subjects on BM? I certainly hope so!! Cheers ,Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faceman Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 All you poor people who won't get to the shop before it slips to sea, or it's new home I have seen it in the flesh or plastic or whatever, and it looks even better than the pics. Nice one Paul faceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
