Hi All

Again, on behalf of our friend Thomas Schröeder, here is another excellent workmanship in a very diminute scale, 1:1250!
It is Thomas favorite scale, and if you have built a 1/700 scale ship... it''s almost half of the size, but Thomas keeps the level of detail very high!

This time he brings us a RAS Scene in Western Pacific 1944




Enjoy!

Thank you so much for your cooperation Thomas!

Amazing work, once again!
Geez, and 1/700 makes my eyes cross! This stuff is amazing, isn't it? Thanks so much to both Thomas Schroeder for the feature, and to Skipper for bringing it to us!

Truly amazing work. I just want to know one thing. Where did he get the trained ants to do the work? :-)

Superb work! I'm struggling with half as much detail in 1/700 scale...

To see some more superbly detailed ships from another modeller, have a look at this model of HMS Warspite

As a young kid I remember getting the ALNAVCO catalog and drooling over the 1200 scale kits I couldn't afford at the time I think they all ran in the $10 area when you could go out and buy the big Revell versions for $4. While with my family in Germany (summer home from college) I remember going into a toy store in Munich and seeintg a ton of the Neptun and other stuff, but I was with some German friends who were in a hurry to be doing something else and I was on their dime. This stuff is remarkablly well detailed for its size. Of course Rui's friend takes it so much further. I especially admire his scenic backdrops as it makes his work look so much more realistic. Fine scale modeler I think has some advertising in it that can direct you to the small scales. There was one company that put out about 2 dozen plastic kits in this scale that were very nicely done. They were inexpesive and included some Italian BB's as well. Sure wish I could find some of those.
