Hello everyone!
Its been a while since I posted something. I have been a bit busy with other things but recently I had some time to take photos of my latest model. The HMS Warspite in around May 1916. This is the Trumpeter kit with the Artist Hobby upgrade set. I added some detail to the hull by masking and sanding spray-on primer. I experimented a lot with 3D printing to make custom parts, like the bollards, superstructure decks, the 6in guns with the collar and casemates, capstans, skylights, ventilators, searchlights and platforms, and the boats. All except the boats are very simple shapes, so it was not so hard to draw/design. It is the first time I try something like that and I think it came out OK. The rigging was done using Modelkasten metal wire, elastic thread from Uschi vdR, and stretched sprue from Airfix black sprues. Paint was from Sovereign Hobbies since they have done all the research of the most probable colour during the Battle of Jutland. Thanks for that. This time I dared take more close up photos so the small parts can be seen and because the paint came out right, very fine grained. Some oil washes were applied, but the scheme is so dark, its barely noticeable.
As always, comments and critique very welcomed!
