Richards completed 1/700 scale IJN Ships make over.

Thanks Guys, I'm glad the images turned out good although quite glaring showing some rough spots.
Glad you like it.

Cheers,
Wabble

Mate, your rough spots are better than my smooth spots…..

I well remember this coming together. One of the most stunning dios I have seen.

Richard,
That is a beautiful piece of the modellers art.

[Lee W]

That's one busy harbour and one hell of a diorama, fantastic work Richard

Paul, Paul and Lee,
Thank you, I must have been distracted to miss replying to your kind comments. I only found the thread while going through the forum. Really busy now planning what to modify in upgrading an old diorama...basically rehashing and repairing the pine trees and repainting the figures as I don't have time to do a new Dio.

Cheers,
Wabble

Next batch...
And just for size comparison...
This is what's underneath the canopy...a Shinto ceremony with two Shinto priests and an alter...
That's all. Thanks.

Cheers,
Wabble
