Flyhawk's Penelope and Trumpeter's Eskimo (much modified and improved) on patrol around April 11, 1940, near Vestfjord, Norway.



Comments?

I like it! More photos and some in color would be nice. I love seeing the details!

I agree - your builds look great, and the black and white photo effectively conveys period atmosphere, but I'd also like to see some more details and color too, please!

You axed for it!



















The Penelope was built OOB - it's so good! Eskimo, on the other hand, needed a corrected forecastle sheer-line, all the armaments, torpedoes, etc. were replaced with 3D printed items, and extra's from Flyhawk kits. The PE from WEM. The masts were replaced with brass rod.
Enjoy!


I decided to paint Penelope Admiralty Gray because there's no definitive evidence (either pictorial or written) as to what colors she was in prior to running aground. Rather than be criticized for inventing a fantasy color scheme, I elected to be criticized for Admiralty Gray!

Dat rigging doe!!

Great job!

Those are awesome. Very well done.

They're superb. Great detail and looking very much in period without tinted style photos.

cheers

No criticism here - your scheme looks great!

Awesome!
