First one off the bench for the new year: Trumpeter's 1/350 French cruiser he Georges Leygues. Now, I know you'll be expecting some kind of crazy WOWSL inspired camo scheme to be applied here, but alas, I went for something different this time. No doubts everyone here has seen a bare metal car or plane etc, but I have not seen anyone do a bare metal ship before. Now, maybe Google is selective in what it shows me, but when I looked it up, no results came up other than a PE ship. So for me personally, this is a first.
The only items not in metal are the life rafts and life boats. Everything else is in stainless steel, Iron, titanium, brass or that dura-something colour (I can never remember how to spell it out).
Its not perfect and I almost dropped it right after I finished it, which is why a couple of the railings are bent and the mast is sitting oddly. I just can't seem to build a ship model without bending something the wrong way. Maybe I should just stick to sci-fi
Yeah I could've spent more time on the life boats but my mojo and patience ran out. They'll do
I did lightly scribe those panel lines, using WOWS as reference.
Anyways, that's all but as always, thanks for stopping in and having a look
See you soon
Si
I've been itching to try this on a ship for a while but never found the right subject until recently.
