Any of them. Did you use the PE or streight out of the box?

 

Everything in this build was OOB. Although trumpeter did include a small amount of PE parts. I didnt want to pay extra for PE parts on my first actual model. Now i do have the Eduard cranes and railings PE kit for my KGV.

Good. Now that PE set for your KGV will have PE for the Pom Poms, 8 of them I believe. They are little buggers to build.  

She is about done. Still have a little bit of painting to do, and touching up some paint in a few spots. Also need to add the second crane, and paint the spotting plane and it on the ship too. Should be done 100% in the next week or 2 and then I will be starting on the KGV.

Outstanding Matt, just let me know when your done and I put you on the second page.

Thats a lovely looking ship there Matthew, looks like similar colours to my belfast but more complicated pattern. Very nicely done.

Now we just need a 350 kit of the new Elizebeth.

Thanks Bish, means a lot coming from a great modeler as yourself! Waiting on a couple paints to paint the spotting plane, then I need to mount the plane to the ship, add the 2nd crane, and touch up a few areas on the paint. I painted this entire ship by hand and am quite happy with how it turned out!

And the new Elizabeth, meaning the Aircraft Carrier? That would be a cool kit to build! The KGV build will be taking off soon!

Some additional work to the Flower Class Corvette "Compass Rose"

Looking good Rob

Looking nice rob, i like the wooden decks.

The Queen Elizabeth is done!

BBorBust,

Very well done! I really like the camo pattern on the QE. Great job!

Excellent job Matt! I'll get you up on the wall soon. Looking forward to that KGV

PS, I got you up with your quote.

Grab a badge of your choice if you want. Just copy it to a file and transfer it to your hosting site, then you can put it in your sig line if so desired.

Very well done there Matt, looks a lovely job on that. And nice start on the KGV.

Thanks guys! I cant wait to really get into the KGV in the coming weeks. After everything I learned from my QE I know that she will turn out amazing!

I also added the banner, I guess i did it right as I see it on my posts now. Thanks!

That's it Matt. Once you get more badges, you can display them with a GIF file so they will cycle through and not take up a lot of bandwidth. Some guys copy all of their badges on say a Word document, then turn that into a .jpg file to put on their sig line.

Now I have a German ship GB starting in just 2 months, so you may want to jump into that one as well. The rules will be the same...two years to enter but it goes forever.

Steve, sounds good! I should have the KGV done by then hopefully! I will for sure jump in on the German Ship GB. I have been wanting to do the tirpitz, or the bismark and prinz eugene combo. I will decide when the KGV nears completion.

Continued build of the Flower Class corvette "Compass Rose" PE and Resin Depth charges, racks  and dinghy from L' Arsenal.

The PE will make those boats look good.

I like the DC racks

Hi MC,

I'm just finishing the USS Midway for the American Flag GB. I'd like to add a 30% finished HMS Compass Rose corvette to my entry and will try to finish it before I tackle Discovery.

I look forward to working next to Rob. His version will be after her refit that included a longer focsle, and radar.

Mine will be as launched.

You got it Bill,

I will enjoy your conversion.

Building the 2 pound gun and it tub using original pieces and Eduard PE

That looks stunnung Rob

Rob, very nice detailing there.

I happen to have 2 in my stash, recently acquired  so before the final ships bell clangs on this GB signup let's add:

British Battleship Prince of Wales

Tamiya | No. 78011 | 1:350

Excellent Chris, I'll put them down. 

Yeah, there's just over a month before the gangplank is pulled, but there's still no end date to finish.

I received the 3D Pom Pom's from France a couple of weeks ago. They look good. 

Steve, when are you planning on kicking off the build thread for the German ships.

Bish

Steve, when are you planning on kicking off the build thread for the German ships.

 

I was planning on putting it up this weekend mate. Probably later today. 

Cheers mate, i'll be waiting. Really looking forward to that one.

Yeah, I am too. I was planning on the Bismarck after I found the super detail set from Pontos. VERY expensive but it's worth it, if you can find it.

The Z-38 will be on the list as well as the Graf Spee.

One of these days I'll get the Scharnhorst.
