Revell 1/125 "Ocean Exploration Vessel"

[splash]

Hi splash- no I'm afraid it won't be
weathered like me,it will be consigned
to the amphibious regions of my display
cabinet for me to see occasionally and
reflect on all the work I have put into it!!

I'm in two minds about weathering ships, if they are full hull on a stand like yours, I think they look better all bright and shinny but if placed on a water base lots of weathering looks good.

So I think you have made the right choice.

Keep up the good work.

Regards Splash

Thanks for that Splash.

I also think you've made the right choice not to weather her Pete, she's looking very smart and I'm sure will look great once final assembly is complete.

[Taurusboy]

Hello Shaun-yes it's going to be a
shiny new item just out of the
shipyard!

[Taurusboy]

Well that's it chaps I'm done!
I feel like an artist when finishing
his painting- don't keep messing
about with it. I hope it's not too bad.











Regards,
Pete.

It Brilliant Pete. I can't say enough about this build. I stumbled on this kit at my LHS this week and was so tempted to get it BECAUSE of your build. No offense to you but I held my stance on my self imposed buying kits ban and passed, but boy was I tempted. haha

It truly is a magnificent build

[jssel]

Wonderful build and enjoyed the journey with you.

[Taurusboy]

Thanks Dirk and Jeff for your
very nice appreciation. It's been
a bit of a chore and I'm pleased
it's finished but it does look quite
good in the old display unit.

[Chris]

Came out quite excellent, well worth the effort.

[Taurusboy]

Many thanks Chris.

That's a great looking model and you should be proud of it. You've even built a helicopter too.

[iggie]

That's an impressive build for certain! It's been great watching it take shape through your posts, thanks for taking the time to record each stage

[philp]

Looks great. Just wish this kit had been in 72nd.

Come on Dirk, you know you want it. Maybe you can get the original decals printed.

[Taurusboy]

Hi James- yes I did my best to
stick to the plans and I may try
a dio at some time.

[Taurusboy]

Iggie thanks for watching
the build.
