1/700 ships

[zak]

I was not happy with some of the buildings and decided to have a go at scratch building on as a sort of customs house/ admin building.

No doubt there will be more re-jigging before it is finished/

Looks good.

Is the building foam board with printed paper building on the outside ?  whatever it is, it looks great.

Another great diorama in the making

No it is all card, I printed the building onto it.

[Bigkev]

Very impressive.

Very impressive.

Unfortunately my card skills have let me down, it looks awful when painted.
Will now rebuild in plastic card!!!
The joys of modelling.

Another step on the learning curve, but one you will overcome.

The plastic card version under construction.

I am still not happy with my building, but it will have to suffice for now.
Nothing stuck down as yet.
HMS Sheffield still to decal and finish.

It has been quite frustrating trying to log on due to the problems.

[chriswil42]

That's all very impressive Dave. Great work.

[zak]

Everything in its final position, sea being added. HMs Sheffield decaled and varnished.

Test reply

Very testing!

This is as finished as I can be bothered to make it.

Now it is onto another AJM Models kit, resin with etched brass, from Poland. Picked this up on EBay for a really good price.
This is the first British seaplane tender, HMS Ark Royal, 1/700 scale.
Very fiddly.

The dockyeard looks great Dave.
