Here's the Shapeways 1/700 HMS Argus 1918 in progress with WWI dazzle camo scheme. I'll use 1/700 Sopwith Camels; Sopwith 1-1/2 Strutters and Shiort Type 184 Seaplanes for the aircraft group. Shown with 1/700 Combrig Armoured Cruiser HMS Drake under construction.

Gfuderer,
Sorry but your photos are to small for me. I am unable to make out much detail.

Now I know why they used dazzle type camo because I shouldn't tell which end was what. Nice work with the hull.

Thanks Mark; I'll post periodic updates as the Argus progresses including the air wing of Sopwith Pups etc. Now I know why they used dazzle type camo because I shouldn't tell which end was what. Nice work with the hull.
