Nice work on the base so far Thomas! The figures really bring this one to life!

Last update on my UKURU build log today as I call this project finished. I did enjoyed my journey into 1:350 scale shipping a lot and it will for sure not be my one and only build. I´ve already taken measures for this as I upgraded my stockpile with Orange Hobby Tarantul III class, Visby Class and Stereguschchi class warships and I do already own another very nice (even more miniscule ship than the Ukuru) Rainbow IJN subchaser No. 28 class and Bronco´s Ting Yuen Imperial Chinese flagship with some TLC. So what do you want so see next?

@Jean: Your sailors from L`arsenal look very nice - I will need to look after them too. Sorry but I stepped beyond the point of no return with my Diorama already before you told me because of the too big stern wave. I tried to cover this with the White acrylic structural gel and hope it Looks a bit better now.

Gentlemen These are the final pics now:














Thats it. I am very satisfied about my first surface ship. Sure there are improvements possible which will influence the next builds. And I really managed to loose the sheet with the IJN flag somewhere here in my hobby room. But I´ve seen already some photos of these ships without flag too.

I want to say thank you again for all the visitors and all your friendly comments during my build.

Cheers

Thomas

Thomas,

Amazing work for your first foray into the wet side of this hobby. I think the water looks the part and your attempt to minimize the stern wave is effective.

As far as next projects, I would vote for the IJN Subchaser but im biased as I'm a big IJN fan.

Magnificent first effort in the salty side Thomas!

Looking forward to see what occupies your bench next!
