KitMaker crew-mate meaty_hellhound sends in his first, and quite impressive, gallery of images of his build of Revell Models 1/72 scale HMCS Snowberry, in this "On Display" feature!

Excellent Snowberry!!!

I'd call it breath taking.
Plus, I noticed your sci fi model as well today. Nice stuff Mr. Hellhound!

Very nice job building it.
Nicely finished and weathered.
Thanks for sharing it with us.

Due to the sheer size of this model, most people R/C this 1-72 scale monster, I've always wanted to build this along side the S-100 however due to a very serious lack of space, I could build, but never be able to display it. This is a very fine job, and my only bad point would be, ''crew'' there are a lot, and I do mean a lot of 1-72 figures out there, and this model in my little opinion is screaming out for a crew.

I would have to agree with Alec on the crew thing, but otherwise its a very beautiful build, and your armor weathering experience really does this build good.

Congrats on a well done job!

Heres the crew

thanks everyone for the kind words. i do plan on making the crew but this project took so much time i wanted to ensure i finished it. i told myself that i would add the crew at a later time and do them justice instead of just whipping them together to get to some sort of end. i also want to build a cabinet for it too.

the kit crew was pretty basic so my plan is to use the figures as a base and custom sculpt the crew doing various tasks, a bit of an undertaking. i have plenty of references for the uniforms and will hopefully do a decent job of representing the crew who serviced this ship. happy modeling.

cheers, mh.

Top flight work.

Excellent work! I have this one in my stash, but was deterred by the GLS's owner who professes the kit isn't worth building without all $300+ of his upgrades (you essentially throw away the styrene except for the hull and rudder). That seems like a lifetime's work, so I had even debated selling the kit. Now I may revisit the thing. Did you really use all the kit parts for the deck, superstructure, etc.?

Here is the kit with the entire Great Little Ships upgrades used.
