H.M.S. Warspite gets a few scars

[Guest]

Hi all whilst I am waiting for the planes for this dio to arrive I have made a start on the base. not much to look at, at the moment just messing about with where to put the planes. Dont know the actual shape of Warspite as not got the model yet (birthdays coming) but I know the overall size so got that down also no Idea what size 1\350 plane is so just guessing on that as well.[ATTACH]89456.IPB[/ATTACH]

Never done water before and as you can see there will be a lot on here, also I want to do plumes of water going up where bombs are being dropped near Warspite, so any suggestions welcome.

Hi all been googling images of ships under attack and came across several model dio's of this type of thing most of them have the ships set diagonally on the dio should I put this ship on a diagonal

[Guest]

Well thanks to Alan I have some crew for the Warspite when I get it, and some planes to attack it (when painted enemy colours)

Hi alan 45 just wanted to ask if you done 1/300 figures at all or if anyone knows of where to get some. Doing hms king george and would love figures to accompany the ship. Thanks guys.

Quick correction 1/400

I don't think you can get 1/400 scale figures mate I think 1/350 are the smallest you can get and these are tiny

I suppose you could cut and file them down to fit ,

Have a look here they do 1/400 http://www.modelwarships.com/reviews/misc/l-arsenal/350-figures/figures.html this company makes them, last time I ordered 1/350 had to wait about 5 weeks. Is this a Heller model? Cheers Derek

p.s. Used the 1/350 on my HMS ROBERTS
