She's looking pretty good so far, keep up the good work. That beast looks to have some size to it. How long is the hull on one of those 350 ships?

 

[model maker jnr]

776 mm ;D

 

[longlance67]

1/350 scale, is a good scale for ship modelling, its big enough to show a great amount of detail without it being insanely fiddly with small parts and yet is small to display with a relative ease, the Bismarck im working is 174mm so look the New Jersey they are big models

 

[model maker jnr]

They are a great size when you want details but a good since they are are easy to display like longlance.said. But i do have a gate class submarine that's 1 72

 

[longlance67]

I've the U-boat's in 72 scale built up at shows and their huge !
Would love to build one but have no where to display it

 

[model maker jnr]

We keep it on top of my fish tank ;D did a bit of airbrushing but nothing major
