Hello shipmates.Been a while since I have been here but very busy with the Museum stuff.Anyway trying not to sound to smug,just returned from 2 weeks in Italy,(Rome,Sienna,Florence,Venice,Milan,Assisi)![Big Smile [:D]](/FSM/CS/emoticons/icon_smile_big.gif)
Not a great many model shops and those that I found seem to be big on figures,Andrea,etc.I did find one unusual kit and that was the Modelcraft ORIANA.Not seen it for a while and though it is a bit long in the tooth it has potential.
I thought it would look good in a sea setting.Somewhere tropical with maybe a couple of local Dhows or rowing boats etc around her.Question? Anybody got any clues to where I could find such craft in 1/500th? Or is it a case of scrathbuild again.After six months of such it would be nice to find something out of the box.Also I suppose I am shooting at the moon to think I might find railings in that scale,Yes?
As always I rely on the storehouse of knowledge here on the forum.
Many thanks in advance.
Jim. P.S...I wonder what Michelangelo would have done with a top of the range Airbrush and vast range of paints available to us.
