Graham,Re-think on Heien, can’t find any reasonable references for paintwork as IJN ship, so going to finisher her as she was was originally commissioned as Chinese Peiyang Squadron ‘Ping Yuen’ but immediately after her capture by the Japanese at the siege of Weihaiwei.
I can then use the paintwork and build references from the Bronco 1/144 model of the Ping Yuen. Also found this model online and have ordered it as an advance b/dat pressy.
some revised paintwork then piccys for review.
NOW if i could do a seascape like this for my small tiger id have a go but this is way beyond me but a marvalouse build an seascepeNot really my scale of choice but they ARE nice.
on another note, I have just finished another 1/700 kit, Atlantic Models HMS Kelly, which I found in a sale andView attachment 477126View attachment 477127View attachment 477128View attachment 477129View attachment 477130View attachment 477131 has languished in the ‘Work-In-Progress’ wilderness for 6 months or so.
Just got to rig it, finish off the sea base and do a bit of work on number 2 torpedo entering the sea.

You definitely have to be computer savvy and also mechanically minded - it takes a long time to print models the hull of my 1/250 USS St Louis took the best part of 50 hours to print ( in 5 sections ). That's with the complete files downloaded for free! I'm not looking to do any printing to order, this is strictly a hobby project. You can buy top of the range machines that simplify the printing, but you still have to get, or make the files for the printer. If you have the area for it, the resin printers are the way to go, but the fumes/chemicals/clean up mean that it's not feasible in my mid-floor flat.Hi Dave
Looks interesting, but I think I may have exhausted my patience with1/700 after this latest build. However!!! You mentioning dabbling with 3D printing, would you be up for printing to order!!! Know Zip about this process but plan to get up to speed on it. How complex is it?
