1/350 Trumpeter HMS Calcutta

Post by Frank O'Neill 2025 »

Hi All,
A few pictures of my recently completed HMS Calcutta.
Nothing fancy, just the basic kit, some photoetch railings in addition to what was provided and some rigging.
I did cut the model down to waterline and fashion a sea-base.
Some light weathering, washes, dry brushing as well.
Been out of the hobby for probably a dozen years or so but I think this is a pretty decent first attempt at re-entering the world of model shipbuilding.
Comments welcome.

Thanks Martin, much appreciated.
It will take a bit to get back into the swing of things, but I don't think this is a bad first effort.
Wasn't trying to get super accurate or attentive to detail.
Just wanted to have some fun.
