phantom Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 First built this ship back in 1978 I think, when I was a cadet in a corps by the same name, RCSCC Warspite. Thinking it may have been the second model I ever built. THe first one would have been something in the range of 1/700 scale. Kind of doubt I even painted it. This new kit is the Academy 1/350 scale kit which I will do out of the box. I started it at the beginning of the month in the temp file so here are the origanal photos and what got finished up today. And here is how it looks at the end of business today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jester292 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Nice! How do you find the time (and space!)? Can't wait to see it finished! Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 23, 2012 Author Share Posted August 23, 2012 Space is indeed going to be an issue. Still have no idea where the daughter is going to put her (even bigger) Titanic which is right now at around the same stage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
geedubelyer Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Nice work phantom. The camouflage always looks tricky on these disruptive splinter schemes but you've done a top job. Does everyone go through a phase of building ships? I can remember building the Bismark (Airfix) at one time. I also built a liner too....I think it was the SS France The Bismark met her fate on our local river with a firelighter in her superstructure :lol: I look forward to seeing the completed project. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Thanks, paint is going to get a lot of repair. Have not had a day off in a while so hopefully I can get back to it on Friday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. I haven gotten to the building phase but I did go through a submarine buying phase. I'm betting the time where I build 1-3 of them isn't too far off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jester292 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Looks good, Phantom. What more are you building for this group build? Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Think that will be it. Didn't get into the stuff I build now (Modern jets) until later in life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jester292 Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Well you had a great production run! I'm still debating how to handle the seams on my F-4. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
