Thanks Bob, its far from perfect but i can cover them bits up with mud! No thats tanks! Seagull poop then .

A bit more done, guns painted, they could have benefited from some metal barrels.
Funnels have had pe tops added and some paint.
The crane was fun but has come together ok, just one more to do!

That is really superb etch work. Clean, sharp, and really adding to the build.

A bit more progress with this,structures are stuck down,weathering started, first time ive weathered a 1/350 ship and the first time ive ever used oils so a learning process . Cranes and a few etch bits done and primed just to realize ive run out of paint! Order up time. Must try for some better pictures,rust colour dosnt show at all.

Mark,

Apologies, got very behind on this. That final pic of the assembled and weathered ship is outstanding. Simply top-class!!!

Very well done.

[Andy the Sheep]

A neat build and a very realistic weathering, Mark

My paint arrived so back to the build,cranes and a few other bits painted and an oil wash applied,bit more clean up to do. The rear mast was moulded a bit wobbly and was very flexible, was never gonna take any rigging without bending all over the place so i decided to have a go at scratching one. Using brass rod,evergreen tube ,some pe and a small part of the the original mast i came up with this!
Bit more tidying but quite pleased with it so far should look ok with some primer and paint hopefully, may have to do some work with the forward mast yet but ill worry about that when i get there.

 

[Bri62]

Looks very professional mate I like it

I love this era of warships, especially cruisers, and you're making a fine job of it Mark. I have floaty thing to build for a friend (USS Gambler Bay) but fortunately he doesn't want PE, just OOB; I hate PE and certainly couldn't get anywhere near your standard if I had to apply it!
