1.144 revell landing ship

[downscale model art]

Hi folks, started this one last week and thought I'd show you the progress so far. The fit so far has been excellent for a revell model with no filling. Got the main hull painted with its waterline. Haven't fitted props or rudder as I wanted to put it in a dio. Only problem will be finding crew figures in that scale. I know I can use n scale people but there'll be civilians in rubbish poses.

Nice looking build Rob , it looks quite big too for 1/144. How about these for your dio idea ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pegasus-...767796&hash=item4b3e20db47:g:SncAAOSwridaPNwO Theyre already painted too , bonus!

Thanks for the links on the figures guys. Here's a bit more progress.

Bit more work done over the weekend. Currently doing the handrail posts that hold two lines of ropes all around the gun deck and catwalk. Inside and out! Doing it with stretched sprue rather than the thread provided as I find it easier than messing about with ca glue.

Hi Rob
Great progress to date. Look forward to seeing it as part of a dio.
