1/700 scale IJN Ships make over

[Neil Merryweather]

That's insane.......

Certainly is...bilge spouts at 1-700?

[Jim R]

Truly jaw dropping work Richard.

Thanks guys, 19 bilge spouts...this is what happens when you do a dio harbour. Next time I'll stick to single or two ship dioramas. :confounded::smiling6:

Cheers,

Richard, our ambitions sometimes exceed our abilities....not true in your case.....just marvelous eye candy all around! This should be a real headturner at the upcoming show.

Thanks Rick, unfortunately in the show it will only be seen from the front, this needs an all round view...
More pictures as final bits and pieces come together...

Rope a dope...

Put your backs into this fellas...

Sake under the tent...

Water play and waves...

With all this done I only have figures left to fill on the dock and auxiliary vessels.

Cheers,
Wabble

This section still needs figures...


If you look closely there are none.

At 1-700 scale, how large is the base? could it be mounted on a rotating display stand? That would be awesome to be able to have the view change continuously.....sort of like watching the world go by! :nerd:

A great scene, the bilges are a really affective bit of detailing.

Amazing!

15 by 12inches Rick, could be mounted but I would have to purchase a battery powered one for it to turn automatically.

Thanks Mark. The lil' stuff usually do. :smiling6:

Amazing!
Pete

There is always something to add Pete like the seaplanes having an oil change.

Just stupendous mate - I am in awe ... !
Steve

Appreciate that Steve.

Today is rest day...didn't even make the trip to the LHS. Just resting my eyes and feeling sleepy...very unusual even after having a nap.

Richard,
This is superb mate, so many details to take in.

[Jim R]

Just resting my eyes and feeling sleepy...very unusual even after having a nap.

Could be the aftermath of Covid. Rest is definitely the best thing. Harbour dio just gets better and better. Superb modelling skills.

Hi Richard, 'Twould seem to me a worthwhile investment if no too costly....plenty of time to get here before the show. I would give it serious consideration being as there is sooooo muuuuch to see in such a small space. :nerd: :nerd: :nerd::thumb2:

[rtfoe]

Thanks guys. Today I have some drama shots taken at eye level of the harbour...


Getting some inspiration in between working on the Ambush dio.

Cheers,
