Re: 1/350 HMS Hood - Trumpeter
Thanks guys!
The waves are just very simple to make, my technique of using modelling clay and clear glu for the gloss effect
btw, the big dio I made before was..well....wrecked. I let my younger brother play with the dio and just like a wink of an eye, all was ruined! I seemed to lose hope on that dio knowing that it's a massive wreck....oh well...lesson learned!

Thanks Jose!
Finally, after several days doing the finishing touches, she's finally done, and she now sits on her new home on the glass shelves.
I depicted her as "heading towards Liverpool without boats due to exercises" hehehehehe...I'll probably add flags soon.
The water is actually a VERY deep blue but it turned out lighter.....
I will post some more new pics here soon then I'll think more about posting it in the gallery.
Thanks,
Nick

Re: 1/350 HMS Hood - Trumpeter
Thanks for the words "motivation" guys!
It's been a long journey since that dio became trashed! but it was worth it! Even without the boats (which I carelessly lost) it still looks fabulous! I will probably post pics of Hood in the gallery by tomorrow or the next day coz' the camera's repaired.
