Red Rhino Posted February 27, 2020 Share #32 Posted February 27, 2020 Wow Greg, you made fast work of that! The weathering is exceptional. Quite a contrast to your Emden. Dave Jack12477, Canute, RGL and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amateur Posted February 27, 2020 Share #34 Posted February 27, 2020 Next few months? The last months your building speed was higher (or is Zara a super-super detailed kit?) Your torpedoboot came out very nice! Jan Canute and mtaylor 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmagna Posted February 27, 2020 Share #36 Posted February 27, 2020 I'm surprised that Captain Muller allowed that rust bucket to even get close to his magnificent cruiser! Great upgrade to a very needy kit. One would never guess it's humble beginnings.

yvesvidal Posted February 27, 2020 Share #37 Posted February 27, 2020 Amazing work and craftsmanship as always Greg. The Italian Cruiser Zara is an excellent and unusual choice too. Don't forget to do some French vessels too... 😉 Yves mtaylor, Canute and lmagna 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGL Posted February 27, 2020 Author Share #41 Posted February 27, 2020 Only 1/400, I did consider her, but finally decided it’s out of scale.

Heller only produced most of their ships at the scale of 1/400, which of course, was done long before 1/350 was adopted as the preferred scale for war ships. Now, HobbyBoss/Trumpeter has these two French Dreadnoughts: Voltaire and Condorcet. They also have Danton, but just the name of that individual is repulsing (he was instrumental in getting thousands of people be-headed after the Revolution). Another interesting vessel is the Submarine Surcouf, equipped with a massive gun and a plane: More modern, you have the large Cruiser/Battleship Strasboug and Dunkerque. Not much choice in 1/350, unfortunately.
