Beautiful work Kostas.

Kenny

Masterful work--particularly on all the rigging, and in such a small scale!

--Karl

WOW ! That is a masterpiece in any scale, but in 1/700 ... it doesn't get any better. Superb work.


Cheers,
Mike

Gorgeous build... for any scale much less 700.. love the rigging! Cheers

Thank you very much all .
As for the rigging as good as it might seem, there is one at least mistake that i have seen now but is a bit late to rectify that as i have sold the model.The 2 pairs of 3 cables each from the rear mast running to the front yard arms should i think instead gather all somewhere at the back of the small hut on top of the tripod.And i made another mistake as far as i can tell, but i ll let you have a go at it first just for a bit of fun.In the end i might end up with more than 2 mistakes that i know off.Good exercise for my next Repulse.

Hi Kostas

Sorry for the late reply...
A great built and great presentation of the HMS Repulse. I like the good camouflage and especially the plank coloring!
Congratulations and thanks for sharing (even if you have sold it )

Kostas,

When I first looked at the pictures of your ship I thought, "wow". Once I realized it is in 1/700 I believe I exclaimed "HOLY S**T" out loud. Absolutely masterful build.

Fabulous model! I have a hard enough time getting all the plastic bits correct in 1/700, never mind the PE & rigging.

BWT, what did you use for rigging?

it is stretched sprue

Hello Kostas,

Your build is marvellous. I wish I finish one model like this one. Thanks for sharing.

Regards
