I just hope all this modelling won't get through when I get to college!


------------------------------------------------------------------

The Hood and it's companions were re-arranged since the previous arrangemant was not so good.

I added some more barges. This time painted in grey. Cargo is still in progress. I also added even more boats. Some came from the Tamiya KGV while others are from Hood.

Washing the Hood was very nice to do. Brushing the entire model with 10:1 thinner and Tamiya's XF-1, it look even more realistic rather than the previous lifeless Hood

The last one's a view of the little dock with the "crane boat" added

New pics:

I have added another dock near the third part of Liverpool. I managed to mix the joints with the turfs to make it "invisible"

From a simple river to a heavily reclaimed and modified river!

Thanks
Nick

Some more progress.

I added another installment to the dio, a small canal just a small one. I added it near the edge of the second isle. It has a boat from the KGV and some PE oars.



And some progress on the third isle dockside. Still awaiting the L'Arsenal trucks!



You can't just let any more plans and ideas get stuck on your head, Just make it a reality!!

I'll put the Hood dio on a little 2 week long "hiatus" so I could deal more with USS Independence.

Hi Nick,

sometimes i also need a little Distance from the current Object. I understand that completely.
Take your Time.......

Your technically right Molders!

You just have to stop what you're doing and get some relaxation!
