She's a bit of a black sheep with all the grey around her ... marvelous work. A few new tricks ... the next one I'll be at the front row ...

For the next one you’ll be on stage facing the crowd.

That's what I said: First row

Saw your album ... unfortunately it doesn't do your work justice ... your photographs are missing the brightness in colour which the ones in your build log show. Still a marvelous build. I really like the way the camouflage turned out, and the lovely details on her deck and structures ... another gem in the cupboard ...

Thanks mate, unfortunately unless I ever invest in a decent camera with a 50mm lens (closest to the human eye), and a decent set up with a light diffuser etc they will only ever be so so. This build was only really an effort to try camouflage. Battleships are just so much work with all the details but I’m still drawn to the old Dreadnought type ships and even the pre Dreadnoughts which are like steam punk cities.

Well, you don't really need to shelf out too much money to get decent pictures. I have 2 portable 36W LED lights (120e a piece) and white background paper (15e 30 meters) and a Samsung S5 galaxy mobile phone and I think my pictures will definetly do the trick for documenting model building as a hobby!

 

Good job finishing her and best of luck for the next project!

[RGL]

Well you are welcome to join as it’s a group build! 

[Koppalakki]

I think I'll have my hands full for the rest of the year! 😅

[RGL]

What’s your next build then? You move at an inhuman pace old boy

[Koppalakki]

No I was thinking spending the rest of the year with the mighty Mo. Next project might be the Spruance depending on stuff (tm).

Other than that I don't think I'll even start anything new this year.

Maybe I can disrupt you log a bit further ...

 

 

I can get you larger pictures, PM me if you want to. Size has it's limitations, or is it disruptiveness ...

Hi - please can you tell us what book these images are from ?
