Wow the PE looks brilliant and adds a whole new dimension to the build.

Right, this is about as far as I'm going to get with Eskimo for this GB; everything is done apart from the whirly bits down below (and to be honest, this build is likely to end up in a seascape diorama so they will only get in the way) and the bootline, which I can't do yet as it's so warm at present the hull paint is still tacky (acrylic ) and I don't want to risk spraying a varnish coat to seal the weathering in this heat either.
So for your delectation, HMS Eskimo (Trumpeter 1/350)

Looks very much as it has spent some time at sea, great effort.

That looks flipping amazing, with a capital A and a lot of 'mazing'. Really good work, I like that a lot.

That looks good. The etch has brought it all together well.

Excellent work, very Well Done !!!

You illustrate two things -- that 1/350 is an ideal scale for that class ship and photo-etch is good for ships ... IMO.

Very nice work, Ig! That PE really stands out - well done!

[iggie]

Thanks for the kind comments; the PE really makes a huge difference at this scale as it's still big enough to really be seen (except when a bit goes pinggggg!!) Against the results of the model. The hull size is also nicely manageable for painting etc.
I've enjoyed the build very much as I did with my corvette in the same scale, and I'm looking forward to getting to grips with something else of a nautical theme from the 1/350th part of my stash
