I am a massive World Of Warships fan, and I recently built a 1/570 Scharnhorst for my friend who is also an avid player. I had a blast making it, so decided that I'd build a ship for myself. I bought the Flyhawk 1/700 Konegisberg as well as this, the Trumpeter 1/700 Richelieu. In the game (XB-1 / PS-4) this is the top tier French Battleship (alongside the John Bart) and I love it. It's fast and maneuverable for a battleship and it just has that French beauty to it with its raked funnel. I'm also somehow attracted (in a healthy way I assure you) to those awesome secondary batteries on the rear end.
I used the Flyhawk PE set and the Artwox Wooden deck set. I think PE is wasted on me really. I'm not that good with it, which maybe surprising given the small nature of my other stuff, but PE is a very different animal to styrene.
At any rate, it looks like the ship from the game, so that's all that really matters to me.
I am not the best boat builder as you can see. This is only my 3rd attempt at a ship so it's not too bad. Still no excuse though for not filling in those gaps in the mid section there.
Anyway, thanks for looking and I am open to any suggestions on handling PE and weathering advice
