Building HMS Queen Elizabeth 1943

Looks good in the enlarged version - if you just click on the pictures.
I may produce the quantity but you produce the quality.

That is looking awesome Haddock.........very impressive!

Thanks.

Bit more progress. Some of this brass just don't fit so a bit of cunning cut and shut is needed.

Don't know which shots look best so I've sent the lot.

The camouflage effect looks splendid, all the photos show your skill.
Great stuff as always.

That could be quite some time yet but I'll bring it to the next meeting and waffle for a few minutes.

Bit more progress. Everything you see is fixed in place, for better or for worse.

How did you do the Camouflage? Was it all taped off inspite of the profiles and all that must be covered...fantastic work!

[Haddock]

Bit of both, some of it is masked, I made masks out of Tamiya masking paper. It's Tamiya tape on backing paper in sheets about A4 size. Some of it's tape and some is freehand. Don't ask me which now cos I've forgotten. I just used whatever I could cope with.

          Bit more progress. I need to learn to take decent pictures. It's now getting to the point where it's very easy to knock bits off, got to think before I move and don't reach over the model. All part of the fun.

It's a busy looking vessel Haddock and you're making a grand job of it.

[Haddock]

Ta!

Here's a bit more progress. Can't believe I bothered to glaze the windscreens.

It's little touches like that which set your stuff apart though-and even if nobody notices, you know it's there.  Just like you would know if you hadn't done it!
