CapnCarss Posted February 5, 2022 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2022 Hello All... I'm a ship modeller and am just venturing out into wooden models. Im based in Devon in thr UK. It is the best place in ghe world and had a rich nautical history. Hoping to get some advice and tips going forward and also give some too if I can. Here's a couple of builds and also a work in progress... GrandpaPhil, ccoyle, druxey and 9 others 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Black Posted February 5, 2022 Share #2 Posted February 5, 2022 Capn, welcome to MSW. The Victory is gorgeous and the weathering on the sub is very nice. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

I look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for your words or welcome, Keith. I've done a few more plastic ships. I might post some pictures of the Victory build soon. Its the Heller 1:100 kit which is quite popular but somewhat challenging. Currently into the HMS Terror, my first wooden kit and I'm hooked! I going its wood from here on in! (Apart from a 200 scale HMS Rodney which is on my to do list!) Keith Black, mtaylor and Edwardkenway 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtaylor Posted February 6, 2022 Share #5 Posted February 6, 2022 Welcome to MSW, Captn. If the models are finished, put them in the Gallery. If being worked on, feel free to open a log. You've done some beautiful models and nicely weathered.

ccoyle Posted February 6, 2022 Share #6 Posted February 6, 2022 Wow, great collection! They're all nice models, but the weathering on your plastic WWII models is particularly convincing.
