_{thought you might like to see the whole thing.}

To light up the explosion from the wing being shot off by Warspite. 

This sort of effect.

This is looking amazing I have a model of this which I am putting in a dio so will be keeping a close eye on this.

That the sort of thing I want but I was hoping for some sort of consensus on where to put it. 

Any way I've been working on the Stuka tonight and I don't know why this Stuka is still in one piece, I was doing the undercarriage and the canopy came off as did the rear guns(I stuck the canopy on to stop that happening ) so after half an hour wrestling with CM I won and glued the guns back on put it on the bench for the glue to set went to pick up the FW190 snagged the Ju87 with my sleeve it fell on the floor upside down, guess what came off, so 20 mins later wrestled them from the clutches of the CM went to glue them back on an ping off they went just found them after over an hour chucked them and the model back in the box. That's me done for tonight @@!!.

I am planning on using levitation (only joking ) clear plastic rod. Is what I'm thinking but I may have to change that.

840x710 or in english 33" X27 1/4" X approx 36" high

Hi all I am getting excited have ordered the Warspite (although swmbo) says I can't have it till my birthday (we'll see) thanks for the suggestions but this is going to be huge I can't see how I would have room to make it a shadow box (I assume you mean boxing the whole thing up and cutting a window in it to see it through)

glad to have you, and anyone else along for the ride, it will be a long ride.

I will be using the Academy 1/350 version with the dx detail pack (can't seem to find the Academy premium edition anywhere ) so this is the next best solution not too sure about the PE first time I used it on my Titanic kit I swore I would never use it again, we will see if I'm pulling my hair out when I start.

I will be avidly watching this as I intend doing a diorama of the Warspite (not scratch built like yours) but I will get lots of useful details from your build if you don't mind.

Yes that's my idea the ones closest to Warspite will be the smallest and lowest, the ones furthest away and higher will be the largest.

Hope it works.

Hi all I made a start on what is going to be a massive project in which HMS Warspite is involved in an air attack by the Germans.

I saw from the instructions that I could leave attaching the decks till last so took advantage of it. It's ironic got my mojo back for this kit and start my hols tomorrow, off to Tunisia for a week. Or as I like to say Africa (sounds more exotic)

Hi all, sorry its been a while but every time I touch this model something goes wrong, It's lucky it's not been thrown at the wall or been used for target practice, don't get me wrong it's not the k, it went together perfect all fits great it just seem not to want to be built. after the last post I tripped over the step into my model room and emptied a cup of tea over it.

Well anyway I've glued the decks to the hull all there is to do now is the rest of those blooming seats some rigging and some rails round some of the decks,oh and the lifeboat hoists.

Hi all dont know what happened to all the other pics but have picked her up again after a long while 

Thanks I wish I had done that in the first place, should have known it would just keep bending, trouble was you could not correct it with the rigging as the bend was traveling in the direction the rigging was going

Thanks hexnut yes I did think maybe I would need some more leds inserted in the top decks but I think cutting the holes in the decking to let the light through seems to have worked quite well.
