BANYAN Posted January 25, 2018 #152 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) I can live with this one Greg Very nice effects and not overdone; your technique is really developing well.

amateur Posted January 25, 2018 #153 Posted January 25, 2018 (edited) As Pat says: nice and subtle. I don't like those heavily weathered ships (even though technically rather perfect). Looks too much like a ship on her way to the scrap-yard in my opinion. Jan Edited January 25, 2018 by amateur popeye the sailor and Canute 2
RGL Posted January 25, 2018 Author #154 Posted January 25, 2018 So when life gives you lemons make lemonade, so when Trumpeter gives you utter rubbish in the form of the ships boats, you put a tarp on it. I did up the kit provided helicopter and im not using it as it is also rubbish, so I’ve ordered an aftermarket one, given it will draw the eye. popeye the sailor, Ryland Craze, Old Collingwood and 13 others 16 Greg
