Very nice looking project. I really like the motion of the ship and the feeling it envokes.

Thanks for sharing!

A wonderful display of both a working ship of the sea (I wish we had more such kits!) and a dynamic water base technique--it makes one want to reach for the dramamine...

What an excellent way to capture a ship's purpose!

Well done, Doug!
It really turned out well. I like the new sets of pics, giving the sense of cross sea motion atop the sandbanks.
Cheers,
Guido

PS.: ... didn't even know you were lurking around MSW! Welcome!

Thanks Guido and everyone. Actually, I ran across the site by following your Leipzig build article after you sent the link. Yes, kit turned out really well. This was only my third attempt at a sea scene, but lessons gleaned from other modelers were well used. The area where the water sloshes around near the bow and stern almost built itself - that's where I bridged the gap in the hole I cut for the hull with polymer, and when hardened to white, it looked so perfect that I just repainted it similarly. Next build is already under way - this time 1/375 Revell APA using the hard, pink Styrofoam. Base is already completed and kit almost ready for painting, so you should see before too long. Cheers, Doug

Great build and write-up! Look forward to more of your work
