1⁄350Prince of Wales

Chris Flodberg was pretty unhappy with his previous efforts with the KGV class and was determined to do it right this time. Thanks to everyone who helped him out and contributed to the great POW's camouflage thread. It was most certainly helpful in guiding him to a choice he felt was somewhat accurate; and at the very least pleasing to the eye. For the build Chris used the Tamiya's 1/350 Prince of Wales with Pontos, Gold Medal, NorthStar, Eduard, White Ensign, and some other aftermarket upgrades.
He has use a brand new water method I've been messing around with lately. It's a complex procedure, but in a nutshell it's carved Styrofoam, coated with plaster, then sanded, then epoxied, then sanded, painted, epoxied, and layered with multiple runs of acrylic followed by cotton wake etc. the rigging is single and doubled-up uni-Caenis.

Good thing I didn't spend money for CA glue in industrial sizes!
