Post subject: | Warspite gets a few scars |
hello everyone I think I better introduce myself first. My name is Ken I have been building scratchbuilt ships since I was in my 20s (several years ago now) last christmas someone bought me a plastic kit and it was leaps and bounds ahead of anything I had built in my teens. I am now hooked, havent touched one of my scratchbuilt ships since infact (it takes me between 18mnths and 3 yrs to build a scratch build) i love the relative quickness of kits. Anyway I am on a couple of other forums and one of them is BTS, one of the members on there cliffy b recomended I post this build on here. I am quite a long way on in this build so will post a few of the initial pics just to bring you up to date. hope you like it. I started with a selection of planes that were going to attack Warspite and this is what I did with them. I decided Warspite would be biting back so this FW190 was going to be the first casualty then I bought this stuka but unfortunatly (knowing nothing about planes I bought the wrong version which didnt have air brakes or a bomb cradle so had to scratch them I had several other planes of differing scales to add and so this is what I did with them almost up to date now . I have some 1/350 planes to add here is another one Warspite nabbed And here is where I am now as you can see loads more to do but getting there. Sorry if any of you are on the other forums I am on and must be getting bored with this but hopefully some new eyes will like it. |

This is the most intriguing ship diorama I can recall. I can't quite decide if I'm witnessing the start of the next generation or an interesting gimmick that pops up from time to time. Regardless, I applaud your imagination and ingenuity. Well done, sir, well done. Regards, Mac |

Rarely do you see this type of dio because they are difficult to depict a realistic scene. However, I think you have definitely achieved a believable battle. I applaud your vision and skill. |

Hi ya all a quick question where would the fire hoses be stored on warspite. I mean they wouldn't dip buckets in the sea to put out fires would they. The reason I ask is I've had an idea for another hit on warspite but I want the sailors trying to put it out, oh and another quick question would they try and launch the walrus whilst under attack. |

Well she's nearly done now just some rails and the rigging (no idea where that goes) I can see some of it in the box atr but obviously that does not show where its anchored or anything. got a bit of work to do on the base and the background, but definitly on the finishing stretch. |
