the learner Posted May 5, 2016 Share #541 Posted May 5, 2016 The blades definately need to be shown verticle on the sweeps but perhaps on a slight angle aft? it would make for a bit thinner case. great job on the dolphins. mtaylor, WackoWolf, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Cheers, GuyThe LearnerCurrent Member NRG,SMA Current Build: HMS Triton 1:48 on line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wintergreen Posted May 9, 2016 Share #543 Posted May 9, 2016 Exellent work, as everyone else already have stated. Truly excellent. Maybe a little late about the sweeps and their artwork. From one picture it is clear that all dolphins are painted equal on all twelve sweeps. Doesn't that imply that half the population will swim up-side-down when the sweeps are at their stations? Unless you've painted them on both sides and the picture fooled me somehow. mtaylor, robin b, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Happy modelling!

druxey Posted May 9, 2016 Author Share #546 Posted May 9, 2016 Well, the sweeps are now fixed in position, after a rare weekend off work. Hopefully I made the right call on displaying them in this way. I still have the two ensigns to complete and fly on their staffs before calling it quits. I hope you enjoy the pictures. alangr4, russ, Fam and 45 others 48 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
