Looks good to me! Smashing job.

Thanks Chris. Looking at it in the daylight, I am happy with it.

Change of pace today with these chaps...bit cringing seeing the blown up photo...sure they looked better with the naked eye, but figure painting has never been particularly natural to me. Hope to make a bit of a carrier deck base for everything to go on.

Thanks Chris. The only reason is I didn't have yellow paint and didn't really want to buy a fresh pot that would be unlikely to be used again.

Jack,
Not a wingy person but I know talent when I see it, that is a cracking job.

Thank you Scottie, very kind of you.

Hi Jack
Weathering looks spot on to me. Certainly not overdone in my opinion. Figures are fine. Unless you are a Peter Day standard figure painter blowing up the photo never does us any favours. As part of a carrier deck dio/base they will be great.

Calling her done: Will add some proper finished photo's up in due course.

Brilliant build Jack. I admire your patience with the decals. Whilst I do very, very little weathering on my models I love it when I see something as good as this

 

[Jakko]

I like the flight deck … The model’s not too bad either

Deck crew need to do a FOD check. Will look for the completed pics, very nice work Jack.
