boatman's 1/72 HMS Tiger C20 build

[boatman]

Nice paintwork Chris. Very crisp. That’s a milestone passed.

HI Tim thank you yea im pleased at how it turned out but could have been better maybe im to fussy but i'll breathe a sigh of releif when ive painted on that big black water line an fitted all her penant No.s an draught markins as there are about 7 of them to fit an then all sparyed up in clear laquer to water proff her but thats still weeks away
thanks for lookin in

Admire your skill and patience, 2 weeks and my patience starts to dwindle.

HELLO Mark well when building models like this patience is the name of the game as this wont be built in a hurry as like all my other big ships they take yrs an the beauty of this is as each bit is built seperate its like building 50 odd models then when done they all come togeather to build the main model as that was the reason i fitted what ive built so far to see if its all comin on right an it is im pleased to say an the pics for the altogeather are on pages 106 through to about 110 if you like to see them
cheers for stoppin

Hi Chris
Quite a job planning for the hull painting and then masking it. Now it's done it does look good though. This is such an impressive build.
