Nick Dogger's 1/700 Vittorio Veneto

Post by MartinJQuinn »

Really nicely done model by Nick Dogger, of a very handsome battleship, Vittorio Veneto in today's gallery.

A very busy scene, with lots of detail to admire. Well done Nick!

Vittorio Veneto in all grey paint looks very good. Shows off the ship well. Im not sure she should be sitting so high in the water, as appears fully operational so gotta be fully loaded, with boot topping higher, but I trust Nick has taken care of this and knows what he is doing given the references detail, such as changes to bow shape tc.

I have a Littorio on the blocks so these changes shown are something Ill take with me, esp regarding filled in plating which bother me a lot as well, and the bow shape - that too I have focused on but rather on the below water part as it tends to break a bit. Really nice work overall, an inspiration to finish a 2 year old project!

It is always a special occasion to see one of Nick Dogger's models finished. This one is no exception.
It has a feel to it that only the best modellers can achieve. Congrats!

Many thanks for your comments, which are greatly appreciated.

(Hopefully, the changes I made are the right ones....!)
References and photos can be open to some interpretation.

It's all part of the enjoyment of the hobby!

Regards Nick
