World Of Warships Tier 7 Richelieu in Type 3 camo

[The Madhatter]

Hi guys

I am a massive World Of Warships fan, and I recently built a 1/570 Scharnhorst for my friend who is also an avid player. I had a blast making it, so decided that I'd build a ship for myself. I bought the Flyhawk Konegisberg as well as this, the Trumpeter 1/700 Richelieu. In the game (XB-1 / PS-4) this is the top tier French Battleship (alongside the John Bart) and I love it. It's fast and maneuverable for a battleship and it just has that French beauty to it with its raked funnel and those awesome secondary batteries on the rear end.

I used the Flyhawk PE set and the Artwox Wooden deck set. I think PE is wasted on me really. I'm not that good with it, which some of you may find surprising given the small nature of my other stuff, but PE is a very different animal to styrene.
At any rate, it looks like the ship from the game, so that's all that really matters to me there

 

 

 

 

 

 

The stand was just an exercise on rusting effects. I cut notes out of the top bits to try and make them look like hard rubber.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am not the best boat builder as you can see. This is only my 3rd attempt at a ship so it's not too bad. Suppose I'd better go back to the SD but I am going to finish off the Konigsberg first. Besides, I don't have enough bench space with me working from home now. My work stuff takes up the rest of the space
Anyways, thanks for stopping in and having a look

If you think this isn't your best work then I would love to see what actually is. You've done an amazing job and it looks fantastic!

That dazzle scheme is, well, dazzling!

thanks very much for the kind posts guys. It's my third ship so there's definitely room to improve. I'm off to a good start on the Konigsberg so hopefully that'll be better
