Postwar navy.

Should have 1/350 Long Beach and Bainbridge waterline next week. Both from ISW.

Looking forward to seeing them built gtb red

[Nektarios]

After a break of a couple of years from building models i am now back.

The plan remains the same. Build a 600-ship U.S. navy, many modern warships from other nations and selected cold war vessels.
So far the number of built warships is getting close to 1000.

The unbuilt ships i have in stock are around 100

PICS NEKTARIOS!!!! Im glad you are back. You kept this post alive for a long time and its my favorite post. I'll start posting again

[gtbred]

All Right!!!!!! Glad your back man!!!!

[Bob J]

Ok you started it Nektarios. Here is RRS Earnest Shackleton in 1/700. This is a 3D printed model I bought from Shapeways. The designer goes by Shipshape. More to come.

[Nektarios]

I ve always liked these unusual subjects. Great work.

[pingjockey]

Glad to see you back Nektarios!

[Nektarios]

A view of the workbench: Two Vanguard class SSBNs are very close to enter service. The other ships are Orange Hobby Dokdo, Juan Carlos I, Canbera, HMS Ocean, Big Blue Boy F-100 class, NNT Type 122,123 and 124, Whidbey Island LSDs and some other Japanese coast guard ships.

[Bob J]

Nice work bench Nektarios

[Bob J]

Almost done this one. Just needs rigging. This is 1/700 HMAS Tobruk. This is an all 3D model. The ship was bought from Shapeways by designer Dutch fleet miniatures. The LCM8 are by Mini and beyond and the Unimogs and trucks are by Kokoda trails models. I think it came out pretty good and I love unusual subjects.

[BT9154]

Wow what a busy naval yard you got there (love seeing busy workbenches)
I thought I was doing too much with a 9 DD build, keep it up

It came out very nice Bob. Shapeways gives you the opportunity to find rare subjects that most plastic or resin companies won t produce.

Nine DDs is not too much. Once i built 28 ships simultaneously.

Good to See the Shipyard busy again Nektarios

Nice Build Bob

Happy Modeling

Nice to see some Aussie ships happening guys. Tobruk looks really good.

[Nektarios]

Some pictures of Dodo models K-130 corvette. One of the best models i ve ever built. Extensive PE, very detailed kit especially cosidering its small size. Ten years ago i couldn t dream that someone would produce a kit of this quality. I just need to take better and closer pics of the kit.

[kidcurrie42]

Nice Build Nektarios, Yes the detail these days is unbelievable, and will only get better.

Happy Modeling

John

[Forlornhope]

Very nice work on Dodo's K-130 Nektarios, can I make a suggestion for your Canberra colour, I see you are using Tamiya so if you mix XF-12 with XF-14 that will get you pretty close to the Storm grey colour used by the Aussie Navy.

You are right that Dodos models are beautiful, The Armidale class patrol boats are little gems and I am hanging out for the Anzac class frigates they have planned.

Heres my 3 Armidales. My flags are to big but I don't have any smaller Aussie Flags and I wanted them there.




Yes I am a bit obsessed with RAN ships, good fun though
Cheers

John, I can t believe that the detail can get any better than that.

Thank you for your suggestion. I have the WEM Australian navy colors (bought it 10 years ago). This will be sufficient for Canberra Armidale and the Dodo models Meko-200 (future release).
