baskerbosse Posted August 20, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 20, 2020 Hi all, Technically this model is already completed, but I took some photos for a build log in case anyone is interested. Here's the kit. Photo etch included. Peter Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baskerbosse Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share #2 Posted August 20, 2020 Essentially, the kit consists of a waterline model, a lower hull and additional photoetch details. Canute 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baskerbosse Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted August 20, 2020 First excursion into small scale photo etch! mtaylor and Canute 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baskerbosse Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted August 20, 2020 The rest of the funnels and a photo etch replacement superstructure. I would say the triangular support brackets under the deck here are the most difficult parts of this kit.. cog, Tigerdvr, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baskerbosse Posted August 20, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted August 20, 2020 Midships superstructure and funnels with some initial paint on. Assembled hull and assembled superstructures. Stand looks a bit toy like and needs painting. Peter mtaylor, Tigerdvr, cog and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Landlubber Mike Posted August 21, 2020 Share #13 Posted August 21, 2020 Fantastic! I have a 1/700 destroyer I'm working on and your work is giving me incentive to finish it.
