Fantastic work...if I could only do HALF as well, maybe I'd build more "floaty things" (and then there'd be the art of 'making' water...sigh). 🙁
Guess who's going to Telford next year! Thanks for posting these images. Inspirational!
Thanks for posting images of HMS Victory, Martin.
My pleasure, I was very glad to have a closer look and thought that she looked even better in the real life! Complex, sophisticated yet very cleanly built model. Congratulations to your patience...
Some good ships this year.
These water dioramas are just stunning. I am really amazed at the quality of both ship and water, but mostly the water effects.
On HMS Grenadier the sea foam effect is I think fish tank foam filter fibre, an alternative to cotton, or can be used in conjunction. I’ve been experimenting with various seascape materials for a project I’m doing.
Masterpieces.
Dear Editor,
Thanks for the comprehensive report on Telford.
Is appreciated very much.
Regards, Dirk / The Netherlands.
So, as an American, I only wish our contests had this standard of excellence. I would, gladly, enjoy losing to any of these builds. I love the fact that each year, the bar is exponentially raised. True excellence coming from our brothers in Europe.
