I14 was the first finished 1/700 ship model of mine. Here I tried first time sea effect, inspired by Mr.Musselman's article.

Nicely done!!,... great water effects, great paint, I love the satin (or is that eggshell?) finish on the gray paint. My only complaint would be,... what,... only four photos?!?

Hi Serhan!

Welcome to MSW
I like your IJN I-14 - it is really very well done, the weathering is very realistic, the water base looks very convincing.
Should point out two things:
- lack of rigging (very simple)
- lack of crew members just a hand full is enough and will add some "scale" to the model

Glad you join in and has Frank said: only four photos???

Thank you for your comments Frank and Rui.

I will try rig them on next projects. I do not like to use figures on such small scale but I will try them on a small dio with the sub tender and sub.

Regards
