Thank you Andy, Andrew, Stefan, John, Paul and Tim.
3 years of workmanship, a bit of perfection, 99% hardwork, quest for danglies, tiny bit of brilliance and some trickery went into this build and I had fun.
As promised a shot with paint pots and TET bottle for scale comparison.

That is quite simply staggering Richard..... Makes it so the more impressive now I have something to compare it too.

Very well done again.

Agreed with my colleague Andrew, thanks for the comparison photos. Even more impressive considering we now the size.

That is simply incredible! The detail is stunning. Then when you see the scale!!! Just blows your mind away.

[Steve Brodie]

At that scale the scene is incredible, great job!

I may have said 'Superb' earlier but I still stand by my earlier appraisal! (And, NO, I'm not jealous!) :rolling:

A most excellent Diorama Richard. The detail is unbelievable but there it is.
Will you be able to re-enter it in the correct class next year? To another contest?

Thanks so much Ian and Ian, Andrew, John, Doug, Steve, Andy and Steve. I didn't know some added paint and glue could get such lovely comments. On whether it can be entered in the proper category in the next show will have to see but one of the judges already suggested it.
I will attempt though to do more 1/700 scale ships but set in vignettes of 2 to 3 ships in open sea as I have another 20 more in my stash not counting the 1/350's.

I have a question for the Mods... do non members have access to like a posting? I have 2 likes with a question marked avatar in my alert but it doesn't appear on the list of likes after directing to the post liked. Very strange... occurring at 4.28 and 4.32 Malaysian time roughly ninish in the morning in UK on two separate postings with similar topics.


Confused,

Hi guys, I am testing uploading images to see if I can get them larger than thumbnails on this post so these are some that have been posted before but not here...


Hope it works and enjoy the pics.
