I can live with this one Greg :)  Very nice effects and not overdone; your technique is really developing well.

 

As to those missiles - Carrier Killers - more rubble for your ruble :)

 

cheers

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.

I wouldn't mind a lemonade ... Nice covered rubbish, mate. What did you use for tarpaulin, plastic bag? I love the paint, and weathering you've given her ... nothing to obvious ...

That's an impressive build and paint job Greg - that one can go straight to the 'pool room' (an Aussie reference for International viewers :))

 

cheers
