The Ship Model Forum

Just saw this Chris, a lovely model and good to see you here.
Mike

thanks guys :D

Started the U-Boat Laboritum Mariotte today.... should be a nice quick bit of fun

I have to agree with the previous comments, job VERY well done!

I love the conception of this build, your execution, and the excellent battle damage to the ship. Fantastic work!

This is powerful imagery. It tells a story. This is what can be achieved with this medium. A tragic moment from history captured exquisitely, gloriously.

My sentiments as well.
Great work!

Cheers,

Well Done! :thumbs_up_1:

Scott

thanks everyone!

Dave, will I see you at the Nationals?

Biggles, yes I am *that* Chris meddings lol. Like you I'm rapidly falling in love with ship modelling!

Aop, yes I followed Chris Flodberg's method, thanks for the comments :)

Thanks Model Monkey, is that your store on Shapeways?

Thanks Strategos!

Aop and Strategos: I'll take some better photos tomorrow and post them larger

Yep, very nice work Chris.

Welcome to the world of Ship Modelling. Like yourself, (if you're the same Chris Meddings!) I used to do armor modelling, but found ships more interesting and satisfying. Although I do still build the occasional 1/72 armor. :thumbs_up_1:

The water does look very good! Did you base it on Chris Flodberg's methods, or made up yourself? Whatever it is, that is an exquisite display!! The weathering job and rigging is nicely done. Congrats for such a fine build! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:
Edit: you could try uploading larger files. The ones you posted are just 640 pxl wide, the maximum is 1200 pxl.

I liked it so much I had to comment again.

Do you have any higher resolution detail shots?

This.

thanks for the nice welcome guys. Really looking forward to learning a lot on here.

Well done! That's a great looking model!

Now that's how you make an entrance. Great job all around. And I agree the water is great.

Very good build! And very nice water. :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

Hi

This is my first post here. The Trumpeter 1/350 1904 Tsesarevich, modelled as it leaves the line at the battle of Yellow sea following the shot that killed Admiral Vitgeft and temporarily jammed her helm.

anyhow, its more or less straight out of the box, except I waterlined it, and added Master barrels and a few home made things, including adding all the damage.

Only my fourth ship build but I'm hooked
