Airfix 1/600 HMS Belfast
A ship started back in early January. It was put aside due to GBs, blitzbaus and other subjects.
It is not my best ship model. Simply because I've lost patience with it. And instead of putting it aside again, I forced a 'quick' finish on it.
Couldn't be bothered with some details and small stuff I'd liked to have fixed. (Not much visible anyway...). That said, and given some real life circumstances, I am sort of pleased with result.
Took the pics tonight, so no daylight natural color look I'm afraid. Played around with different light settings, but then the headache came, so I stopped.

Really clean and nice looking!
Great blue setup too, where do you get sheets of blue for photos?

Re: Airfix 1/600 HMS Belfast
Thanks guys.
I bought some sheets in a book store that also sells stuff for decorating etc. I wish they were bigger. I'm gonna have to use two sheets for my 1/570 Scharnhorst for instance.

Re: Airfix 1/600 HMS Belfast
I like it, seems to be quite a bit of detail painting going on - wish we had some close-ups ....
I will mention the poor Walrus is missing its roundels ... probably didn't rig it either, did you
