Global Scale Modeller

All done!!

Alot of firsts for me in this build, (ship, weathering and diorama), so quite happy with the outcome. Hopefully, my weathering will improve the more models I build. I really enjoyed seeing the water effect come alive as it was drying, and considering the whole diorama cost less than £5, it was budget modelling at its finest!!

The USS Indianapolis CA-35, 1945.....

























I toyed with the idea of blackened cotton wool smoke effect for the funnels, but it just didn't look right, so decided against it.

Really enjoyed building to a deadline, and look forward to many GB's to come!!

that is fantastic mate

Great stuff dude came out really well.

Looks good mate, the water effect is nice as well!

Most excellent work Dude!
Thanks for showing all the work with the water effects.
That will come in handy I think for a lot of the fellas.
She looks awesome Buddy.

Awesome work dude....

Thats great stuff right there.

Cheers guys, appreciate it

Great Job! I now what you mean about firsts. My TBF is the first aircraft model I built in 20 years! I have been relearning and learning at quite a pace. What was the most challenging part of the build?

Definitely the weathering! Very difficult. Makes you realise how skilled alot of the modellers are on here. Its an art all unto itself!! Looking forward to trying different methods in future builds though, and hopefully get better as I go along.

Great work! I love the water effects, I've yet to attempt anything like that yet, but you nailed it!

Great work, and the water is amazing! I can't believe it's your first go, good skills.

Cheers fellas for all the encouraging comments
