Great job!

I like it. Nice work Ron.
This one of the little Italian devils I encountered. Can't remember the class but the missile system I believe is a Tessio S-S missile!

 

[spanner570]

Thanks boys.

I suspect there is as much interest in me impending waater attempt as in the actual vessel.

I've finally plucked up the courage to have a stab at the water element. A right pig to do, but after a few 'Speriments'.....( finally built up in layers rather like a 3D printer)

Silicone waater and suitable messed with cushion stuffing on the a**e end. I used an old floor tile for the base, spread with a thin layer of silicone.

Pete and Rick, here's a few of wot I eventually ended up with......




















I'll post some more fowties in 'Ships Completed' asap.
Thanks to those who posted encouraging comments during this build.

Cheers all.
Ron

Concur, that was my point, they are so realistic as to be the real thing.

Cracking waterworks. That's really captured the movement.

This one's been a bit of a haul for sure, so it's great to get such nice comments about the finished model.

Cheers.
