Looks great Marsh.  I'd be interested to know how you made the seascape or if there is an online resource you followed.

Excellent case. Is the base that the ship sits on separate from the case?

Hi, The sea is plasticine with Humbrol enamel. The base is seprate. More work on the sea after this photo.

Thanks Peter.

Looks great.

The drawings show a flared bow but all photos show it with no flare-out at all. How did you do yours. I can't really see in the photos.

Lou,    Flared, but it looked too much  (not like the photo) so I took it in a bit. Hope it's a help.

I followed the picture also. Are your hatches tinted a different colour or just awaiting paint? Marsh, please send me a close up of your mid deck area. The drawings are a bit different from the photos.

Lou,  I just went with the plan for the mid deck area. A lot of parts just on loose to see how it will work out, made the life boats but not too happy with them (might re do). The hatches black as the plan, deck I have made gray (no info. on plan).

I have not completely made up my mind yet, but my Explorer may well be one shade of grey to fit in with my ID flotilla.

Hi, New photo.

[lastvautour]

Excellent display of your modelling skills Marsh. I enlarged my screen 400% for a close up view of your ship. The detail is fantastic.
