H.M.S. Warspite gets a few scars

[Deleted member 3568]

Hi all well the basic ship is built (a few deck parts to add and the railings ) but other than that she is nearly finished.

where would I get rigging plans from as I've no idea where the rigging is tied off, I can see most of it on the cover pic but not where it goes and there is nothing in the instructions.

[flyjoe180]

That is looking great Ken. The lighting and background bring the atmosphere to life. Nice work.

That looks very good Ken im impressed I was a bit worried when you were mentioning different scales of aircraft but the 3D effect you've achieved is very creative top work mate great stuff

Hi all well I've finally finished the warspite post some pics tomorrow just some work on the base and I think the whole thing will be done by christmas. Which is good as I can't wait to get my hands on the Bentley and start the flower class.

 

[Deleted member 3568]

well here is where I am now sorry in advance not turned out anywhere near as good as I hoped have ruined the rigging and some of the paint work,doing some more to the dio then the whole thing will be done I feel I have to finnish the base as I prommissed myself I wouldnt start anything else till this was finished.. dont think I will be donating it to the library though and definitley not to the next club show table I think it is now ruined and fit for the spares drawer

I don't thin kit is due for any parts bin, it still looks good Ken. Especially in its diorama setting.

Ken with the ship being hit so many times I don't think the rigging would be perfect anyway, it adds to the affect and as Joe say's in the diorama setting it looks fantastic. So save the bin for some of my builds.
