Stunning. Simply stunning!

Dino both the model and the seascape are top notch/beyond magnificent. Bravissimo! :cool_2:

It's not just the weathering, I love your water base. Very convincing use of color.

Here we are, I think she's done, I took some pictures to check if anything is all right.

Another Falklands warrior done, more to come soon or later..

[quote="zs180"]Welcome back Dino! Your Barham was a great inspiration and source of information when I was building mine.
I always had a soft spot for the Type 21. Long time ago I built an Airfix kit which turned out less than satisfactory.
Yours is stunning with a host of beautifully executed scratchbuilt detailwork.
I will follow this thread with great interest![/quote]

Thank you! Indeed the Airfix kit is outdated, and the Dragon one is not better, both need a lot of fixes, but that's fun!

Lovely paintwork! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

I love the spent shell cases!

Starting the datails after a first layer of "South Atlantic weatering"

From bow to stern will be a long fun trip.

[quote="marijn van gils"]Wow, that is some great styrene and PE work! :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1: :thumbs_up_1:

I'm looking forward to the paint![/quote]

Thank you Marijn!

PS: Your work on the Trafalgar diorama is incredible :thumbs_up_1:

Time for some airbrush work.

I joined the superstructure to the hull, and filled all the gaps... ( I hope )
Then I added the mounts beside the hangar and the flight deck water drain grille.

The boat davits are scratch builts.

After the first hands of paint I'm quite happy, she needs some cleaning here and there, but nothing too complex.

Next steps the black waterline and what remains of the ship number F173, as you can see in the last infamous picture, the numbers where not completely deleted.

[quote="Frank Spahr"]Jawdroppingly awesome![/quote]

Thank you Frank! Your 1/350 build of the same ship as been of great help ;)

[quote="JIM BAUMANN"]welcome back Dino-- excellent works !!

Hi Jim, thank you! I always been here as a silent guest, enjoying all the beautiful works posted here. ;)

welcome back Dino-- excellent works !!

Jawdroppingly awesome!

[quote="Mr. Church"]That would be well impressive in 1:350. Never mind 1:600.

She looks fantastic. Please post more photos as you progress her![/quote]

Yes you're right, I've been tempted by Peter Hall version in 1/350, and not only the type 21, but actually I must build small scale, because the space for the models here is getting smaller :(
