Poor Snowberry had a collison, a hydrofoil ran into her – an acciedent!

 

All the decks ended up in the water, the front gun and crew sank, but a ciuple of weeks work and some extras added and she made it to the Blackpool Model Show…

Impact poit

Missing Gun and crew

Lol, yeah, I didnt think of it that way – although I did get to shout out across the Lido – ‘You sank my battleship!’ Lol

All adds to the ongoing patina of the model.  I like the engine, you don’t often see that modelled.

[suzannerParticipant @suzanner]

Thanks, its only a top down rendition, to be seen through the skylights, but it works well enough… Need to make one for Campanula now too

The second Corvette is now done, HMS Campaula, plus some new pics of Snowberry from one of the guys at Bury yesterday…  Now on to HMS Antelope in 1/72nd scale…

Hi Suzanna,

Please do a build thread on your new build 🙂

Regards  Ray

[Richard SimpsonModerator @richardsimpson88330]

Both look superb.  Is Campanula going to get a weathering as well?

[suzannerParticipant @suzanner]

Hi Ray, havent done one of them threads yet, but I shall try and oblige once I get the kit in, just waiting for payday and then its on its way from Fleetscale, and possibly hubby may be doing something too…

 

[suzannerParticipant @suzanner]

Thanks Richard, appreciate the kind comment…

 

Hmm, not sure wth Campy yet, she looks so good with very slight weathering I may just leave it at that, or if I get bored I may set to a bit… I think she needs a little more yet, but not too much… I am just about to post the DSLR piccies I got at the weekend of them both…

 

[Richard SimpsonModerator @richardsimpson88330]

A perfect approach with weathering is to do a little then leave it and get used to it.  If you then feels it needs more than add a bit more and again leave it for a while.  Working models also start to get a little bit grubby with exposure to the elements and dirty water so holding back is definitely worth it.  Its a lot easier to add some more than it is to take some off.
