[Gondor]

The shape of that thing is just awesome...imagine seeing that coming over the horizon !

It's stealth so would you see it coming over the horizon?

You'd see it, you just wouldn't know it......

You'd see it but your sensors would be telling you there was nothing there. Interesting discussion between an old hand and a young recruit ?

Or better: not!

Interesting build - curious about the paint scheme! Simple all grey, or something more entertaining (e. g. a splinter scheme, like Finnish coastal ships)?

Yes coming along.. small update. But small update is better than no update 
Ok.. I have fitted some etch (uurgghh! and I though 1/35 was tiny) for sensor arrays and some of the railing an doors.
Then some detail parts like the metal storm turrets in the outriggers and Laser packs, which still need to be detailed a bit.




So far I have not given much thought to colour.. whilst i really do like the Grimsby class scheme.. I am thinking .. not so much.
What is the point of a stealth ship if you have to camouflage it.. and if you are close enough to see a camouflaged painted ship.. that appears to me to be too close.. and much to late!!

so next is probably painting stage and fitting stuff like the last of the railings.

[buzzbomb]

Close to the finished call.
Ok.. more practice needed on etch rails.. these are.. well ... ordinary.
I got some 1/700 Merlin Helos at SMW2013, which was nice.








So there she is.. less base nameplate..

That's a brilliant build 
Lovely subtle weathering, and the Sea...... That's just awesome

lovely looking,  swift and deadly

Awesome job.

I have been thinking of doing something slightly different, taking a 1/350th (probably) USS Independence and converting it to a 72nd scale pleasure yacht.
Who knows, maybe someday I will.

Wonderful work mate - so realistic !!  Easily one of the nicest ship models I've seen this year!

[McColm]

Well done .

[Father Ennis]

Just wonderful !!!       

[Captain Canada]

Can't believe I almost missed the finish of this little beauty ! Great job....looks perfect. Neat to see such a large vessel that actually looks small and fast !

[Joe C-P]

Very nice.
