Like it a lot! Great model and water (can feel the wind and spray on my face!)

Nice attention to detail.I'll never understand how you guys get rigging to look like that.

[angeleyes]

Very nice built and seascape.
But, A:KGV did not have the degaussing cable at that time (it had been removed).
B:Here the opinions are divided but the deck might have been painted dark blue instead of been left natural wood color.

Oh,Really? Thank you for the remind. I just made it refer the picture on Tamiya's box, now it seems wrong

[DanCinSD]

A nice looking build.

I just noticed the oars in the life boats!WOW!

[frenchinamst]

I Have question about how the -photoetch ?- lifeboats in white and red... Did you get a special method to paint it ?

[Dan K]

Very nice build, I agree.

What a lovely presentation of this ship. I've seen photos of the KGV class with the sea crashing over the bows. What you have done looks very realistic.

Would you mind letting us into the secret of how you achieved that sea, the waves and most of all the spray.

It 's simple and easy:
Step1:Wet paper towel with some water to make it fold, wate it dry
Step2:Use glue to make it hardens
Step3:Use some tamiya putty to make the undulating,just like this:

Step4:Painting(nothing to say)
Step5:Get some cotton on to the waves(here need to refer to a photo of the real sea)
Step6:Cover it again with this thing:
"Pebeo acrylic gloss gel medium"(transparent)
That's all

Yes, the method is let my girl friend to paint it

It is a very interesting model and a good job. �Tamiya?
I would like to know the paint used for the sea and the ship.
There is a photo of Mr.Churchill aboard the Prince of Wales and does not seem the deck is in blue deck.
Mr. Kostas also has another excellent model of the KGV.

Thank you so much for explaining how you achieved the sea.

Does it need some practice before attempting on a real model, or can any mistakes be un-done without harming the model.

Sorry for this follow up question.

How on earth did you manage to produce that rigging? i build in 1/350 scale and am dreading the point when attempting to produce accurate looking rigging. Superb build and the extra detail added sure does bring the build alive. Regards Alan

[spiton]

Fantastic, very realistic and bold execution. I like this kind of model very, very much.

[jon pollock]

I am in awe of how clean your building abilities are. Some of the PE I've been working with in 1-350 is a bit of a pain... then there are the beautiful results you've achieved at half the size, did you use a microscope and micro surgical tools? Seriously, after seeing this I may just have to buy another Hood and start over again... nah. But very nicely done. Oh and how the F did you manage that rigging? felix3@telus.net
