discussion The Royal Navy at Gold Beach

[Ian M]

Well That took a little less time than I thought!

Here is LCVp 1127 as used at the landing at Gold Beach.

All the places that actually had some usable figures where sold out! If I remember I will get them later, as it does look a little bare!

I chose not to do a diorama out of it as this will also be a part of my 1/35 boats collection.

I Hope that you like it. I do.

Looks good Ian

Very nice job Ian, just the right amount of weathering too.

I keep having a look around for R.N. figures, but no luck yet. Still you never know....

That looks fantastic Ian

Superb Ian, spot on weathering and a very interesting subject. I notice you collect 1/35th vessels, my coastal steamer is 1/35th and comes out at just over four feet but one day I hope it will be joined by a Type VII U-Boat of the same scale. That should be around six and a half feet long!

 

[Guest]

very nice Ian!

Thank You! I wanted to do my Corvette in 1/35 then I worked out how big it would be.... Er, BIG. (205ft in 1/35 would come out at about 5'8"). Who knows, one day

Thanks for the feed back. If I get the figures at a later date I will post a few photos of them.

top work ian! great paint job. five stars

Ian, I try to be consistent with 1/48th for Naval vessels. There is a model Corvette in 1/48th but that is a fair size, as you say, one day. I've got a Resolve Class WWI deep sea tug, an Envoy Class WWII deep sea Tug, a Motorised minesweeper and a navalised small steam harbour tug, all in 1/48th.

Sometimes I put a couple of them on the water together and control them alternatively just to enjoy them together.

Thanks Bobby!

Richard, I have been looking at that Envoy class tug for a while now and it does look great. I have a friend that has a couple of Hulls that he is trying to tempt me with. One is the R38 Victorious the other is the mighty Hood!!! Only problem is they are both around the six - seven foot mark. Oh and on the other side of Denmark!!!! If ever I win the lottery, I will be set for the next ten years!!

Hi Ian

The landing craft turned out great. The bad weather and being forced indoors has it's upside!

Cheers
