The Build - More photo etch railing, including the helo landing pad, and added the non-remote 12.7 machine guns as well as decoy launchers and life rafts - March 6, 2017

Ai then built the helo pad netting and completed adding photo etch railing and ladders, and added the 12.7mm (.50 ca) non-remote controlled machine guns.

Here's how that went in finishing out the detailing:

The Build - Completing the model

I then completed the model by adding the waterline mark, doing the touch up, and then adding a couple of coats of flat clear caot paint.

I also built a Sea Blue painted flat stand (simple ocean look...hehehe, with absolutely no wind, dead calm) on the stand.

Here's how she looks:

I think she looks pretty good. My first foray into the 3D Ptinted vessel world.

The material is a little too course. Sucked up a lot of paint, and does not have as good a finish as a good resin or plastic injected mold...though it is not too bad at all.

Particularly when it is the only game in town for some of these classes.

It grows on you...and I have to say that I kind of like it.

Keep 'em coming Dutch Naval Miniatures! I will probably buy some more of your vessels.


- By March 15, 2017 complete a German Type 212 Submarine in 1/350 scale
- By April 30th, 2017 complete a WWII New Orleans Class cruiser in 1/350 scale for my Doolittle raid group (The Hornet and a destroyer are already complete)

Big fans especialy French waiting for you :) and take care ...
If I can get a 1/350 scale FREMM FFG and/or Forbin DDG I would buy and build them to go with my Charles De Gualle...I just can not find them anywhere. If you can find a stroe our outlet in France tht sells them in that scale, let me know and I will order them from there online.
