  1. Morskie does not do the panel lines, remember it does not have to be perfect, just do them along the deck levels, a few coats with a mask are enough, if you go into the 3D shading, filters and weathering such as chipping or wearing the paint off between the panels it becomes more important. Unfortunately once you start down this rabbit hole to madness you can’t stop
  2. Sorry, I usually Google the name of the Ship “in drydock” as they are great references as they show the hull details really well.
  3. So they basically run along these lines, they are not as obviously as in the drawings but they are there when you look very closely at a hull. A smooth hull does not really exist.
  4. I got the PE set for her and the kit for $100 off FB. I’m in no rush to build her, I have a complete set of upgrades for the Z-25 and will do a complete make over for the Zulu
  5. Rattle can primer and Tamiya masking tape to do you hull plating. Take your time, multiple layers, etch in the vertical lines . Paper would still be too think at this scale.
  6. Nearly done, rigging done, superstructures glued down; railings and hullweathering to go.
  7. The deck details are almost done, I need to do up the hawsers next and weather the focsle,
  8. So I added wring for the rear deck lights, then a fire hose and extinguisher. The railing have taken me hours, primer, black for the wires the silver for rehire turnbuckles and touch ups to go.
  9. I thought I was doing OK until I saw the rigging on this photo.
  10. All good, I’m not that fussed, already have a Lynx to park there. I should finished her this week.
  11. No type 45 for me at the moment mate, and unfortunately the link for the Merlin is the same one as they already make and I have but thanks for trying
  12. Yep. Same aircraft. I bought a set. One of the three is what you see on the back deck. It’s about 1/300 not 1/350 unfortunately.
  13. So the kit comes with a Lynx helicopter and the upgrade has some nice upgrade bits. I wanted to try some other options so got a Merlin set and PE for it. Bad news is it is WAY out of scale and does not fit in the hangar. So be it.
  14. Like everyone else, I dream of the day they make it in 1/350. Looking good
  15. So a few cool action shots from the rear section, the torpedo launchers 766B07F0-8338-4212-ACE8-67CC6EE49A8F.webp
