mtaylor Posted November 6, 2022 Share #32 Posted November 6, 2022 Congrats on the awards. It strikes me that the masochist award should be one given out at all model shows.

BANYAN Posted November 6, 2022 Share #34 Posted November 6, 2022 Congrats Greg, great to see your efforts rewarded. Some pretty fancy trophies, the group must be well funded or sponsored. cheers Pat Ryland Craze, Old Collingwood, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGL Posted November 7, 2022 Author Share #35 Posted November 7, 2022 It has sponsorship, part of the prize is an airbrush for the masochist award. I was n best in show last one for the Seydlitz. The bloke who won it yesterday is recognised as world standard so I’m pretty happy to make the big end of the comp. I missed out on 1st for best ship as I forgot to paint the steering wheels on the jeep on the deck of Thetis bay. Meh. The U-9 won best sub mtaylor, Old Collingwood, BANYAN and 3 others 6 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANYAN Posted November 7, 2022 Share #36 Posted November 7, 2022 Those are some impressive results Greg; when it gets to sharp end, just like car concourse judging, they get very 'picky, too picky for my anti-rivet counting approach. cheers Pat Old Collingwood, Canute and mtaylor 3 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgdawson Posted August 25, 2023 Share #47 Posted August 25, 2023 Hi Greg Just wondering what paints you used on the collins, particularly the bronzy colour on the topsides, it looks like a good starting point for a project I'm considering.
