HI Bri yes this will be new to me too as ive never treid to do a seascape an hope 570 will help me as he does some very realistic seascapes an what are you thinking of puttin your yamato in a seascape then as you could do how im thinkin of doin this wrappin the hull in strech an seal so the ship can be lifted out of the sea if you want to see the whole hull ? as them big guns on your thread look magic to me very good moddeling indeed my freind

Hi Chris
You’ve gone from one scale extreme to the other!
Looking forward to seeing your small-scale seascape. And what this does mean, of course, is that we don’t have to wait till the warmer weather to see Tiger sail. Although I do see this as whet the appetite build!
Have fun Chris

My kinda scale Chris, just a little advice...don't sneeze. :smiling5: Flat bottom girls you make the rocking world go round...yeah get on your bikes and ride...
Doesn't mean its small it'll be a fast build if you're adding PE.
