Thanks!

Very nice subject and these wonderful smokers are sadly over-looked, would love to see more of this type of ship. Thank you for sharing.

Another beautiful build Guido, letting the vessel cut trough the waves shows the nature of these ships, build for speed but must have been a nightmare when it came to rolling.

The rigging, as always - is a work of art.

Cheers/Jan

Is that really 1:700 scale? With fine painting and rigging like that, one would be forgiven for thinking it a far larger scale!

Thank you for your kind comments, gentlemen!
This is easily WEM's best 1/350th(!) kit. Get one while they are available.
Cheers,
Guido

PS.: Carl- Only the White Ensign is from a 1/700th cruiser. Just the right size for a 350th TBD. Not supplying decals and flags si surely one of WEM's weaknesses.

Hallo Guido!!

Creative but with a sense of reality, accurate, excellent painting and weathering... the water has a good color balance also, so, a show stopper!
Congratulations on another prize winner, for sure!


Cheers

Still, Guido, that's a remarkable piece. I had to scratchbuild a pair of similar types in 1:350 last year and trying to breath life into something so compact is a supreme challenge. It's just beautiful work.

You model ship builders are nuts, but real good at what you do. This just blows me away. It confirms my thought that I'd be scared to hell to be out in the vast pond in something like that. A real nice job done with this kit and very well done job on the ocean, really like the ship cutting through the waves. Beautiful looking.

Beautiful and inspirational work Guido

Great job, Guido!!
