GuntherMT Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share #787 Posted November 3, 2015 Thanks everyone. I'm pretty happy with how she turned out. I'm always my own worst critic so I of course see all the faults, but yea, I'm pretty proud of this ship. Frank, feel free to bring whatever you like! You'll of course see her on Saturday as well, will be interesting to see how the plastic folks feel about it. Canute, GLakie, canoe21 and 4 others 7 Quote Brian Mystery project coming soon!

Omega1234 Posted November 4, 2015 Share #792 Posted November 4, 2015 Hi Brian A seriously brilliant job you've done! All I can do (at the risk of sounding boring) is to echo everyone else's comments above. Have you considered sending your photos to the kit manufacturer? Perhaps they may want to use them in their advertising/promotional material. Just a thought!

GuntherMT Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share #793 Posted November 4, 2015 Thanks again, everyone. Patrick, since almost nothing above the false deck (except the bulkheads) is out of the box, I don't think it would be very honest of MS to use my build photos in their marketing.

I also realize the photographer makes a difference Thanks! Marcus Marcus, I use a Nikon D3300 with the kit 18-55mm lens.

GuntherMT Posted November 8, 2015 Author Share #804 Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Less than a week after finishing the AVS, yesterday I got up far too early, and spent the day at the annual model show put on in Phoenix by the local IPMS chapter. The Modelzona show is one of the largest annual shows, this year it had 550 entries, with my ship as the only non-plastic entry. I entered the AVS into the Surface Ships class that included some pretty amazing entries, including a 1/700 scale Japanese WW2 carrier in the middle of launching a strike, that had 313 little tiny crew figures servicing the planes and manning the guns etc., as well as 4 different entries by a guy who is a professional model-maker as his day job. At the end of the day, the AVS did quite well. I took first place in Surface Ships, and also Best Ship (all ship/submarine classes).
