should I put these pics here or in the under construction section ?

 

[CDW]

you could put them on here ... then ask Ian M (or another Mod/admin) via PM to kindly move the thread to the relevant section when he's on next.

Looking Good Alan, Big in it!

As suggested, I have move this to the Under construction section for boats and ships. A bit more at home here.

I don't think ill try anything this big again lol its a nice kit to build but you have to make sure you have enough room to build it , I must have knocked thhe rudders off five times :laughing:

only real problem I had was attaching the decals to the conning tower they go under a railing if I had known that in the begging I would have attached them first then the railing.

also I think I got carried away with the weathering its such a big area you can get to close to the project but im happy with it and enjoyed it.

now I just need to find a place for it !

[Harry Labanville]

I have one in my stash .it was £25 from Modelzone I think they wanted the room .

I have no where to put it .

If build it ,maybe one day .I would ballast it and seal it put in a solar powered engine ,go down to the south coast and launch it south going .

Such fun.

 

[CDW]

Really well done Alan, the weathering doesn't seem over the top at all ... i expect they got really beat up during their tours.

All you need now is a bit of board 4ft long and you can set to work on the diorama

 

[Alan 45]

thanks for the praises guys , a diorama would be great but wear to put it ive had a look in the loft but I have to many beams up there to use it so im afraid its got to go on a shelf in the spare room still a nice thought though :smile:

 

[Sky Raider]

Beutiful job, bet it has pride of place somewhere for all to see.

[Alan 45]
