Iron Shipwrights 1/350 HMCS Halifax FFH 330 Completed

Post by Coen »

Here she is all done. She's far from perfect, but for a novice I'm happy with her.
I'm really looking forward to building more ships now. This was a crap tonne of fun!!!
Huge thanks to Guido Hopp for his help and inspiration. He's a gentlemen and a scholar. :cheers2:

Here's the link to the build thread...

Never would guess that you were a novice on ship models, this looks terrific!

Dude! That's awesome. I don't know squat about ships but that looks great. The water is very nicely done. As the son and brother of RCN sailors and a fellow Nova Scotian, I salute you.

Thanks Chris. :)
I know doodley about floaty things either. This thing was really hard for me to build, way outside my comfort zone.
It's probably why I enjoyed it so much.
My baby brier sails on a CPF so this ended up as a gift to him.
Dude... You're a long way from home. ;)

" Dude... You're a long way from home. ". And a long time. I've been out here for over 35 years now. Grew up outside of Windsor in Hants County.
I'm sure your brother liked the gift.
