Hello!

My Penelope meets the sea! Sorry for my photos. I have just my phone.

I have done a lot of work with my model. I even started adding PE-parts. I have a Lot to learn...

I heard what happened to Shapeways and it is sad news. But we all (whoops, most of us) have our own 10 finger printers!!

Thank You Yuth!

1/700 scale ships are just too small for me to build. And it so fun to add details here and there. Adding PE scares me!

Hello!

I think I have finished the main turrets.
I Have painted most of the ship. After a dark wash she should look ok.

I started a waterline base that will be very dark for Norwegian sea.

Have a nice weekend!!

Hello.

I started adding anti shrapnel padding. These are easy to do from strip styrene with a hobby saw.
And I added some hard wood grating.

Hello,

I added some PE doors and hatches around the ship. That small tower for a searcligth was a test for my fingers...and nerves. I also dry fitted the AA guns.

Hello.

This is JSC 1/400 card model enlarged.

I started this model some time ago as a simple side project. I got carried away away...

As it usually happens, some company releases their product tomorrow. When did RN start to use waffle pattern doors?
