loftycomfort Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Finished already? Wow that was fast, and I haven't even bought my copy yet. Great paint job. It's difficult to do a single-colour scheme and still not make it look boring. I really like the subtle tonal variation between the panels. Very nicely done Nimrod! Thanks for the look.

oldHooker Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Oh yeah! Toning down the shading REALLY done the trick, congratulations on a beautiful build! You done 'Nimrod", and all the crews who/who've served on her, very proud! Take care, Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flyingraptor Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Is that the new Airfix Nimrod? That's a fast build man... But really nice... I like the subtile weathering... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Beautiful job!! And fast!! I still haven't COMPLETELY finished my Revell Atlantic yet, and I would LOVE the Nimrod to complete my collection with foresaid Atlantic and my Orion/Aurora. Just wondering what option to take to get one... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aggressor Supporter Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Very sharp Nimrod build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunpowder Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 This is some sort of record, I think. Not only a beautiful build but from store to bench to display in...what? 48 hours? There could NOT have been a lot of sleeping/eating/nature-breaks going on.... You did a beautiful job on that. Looks authentic all the way 'round. Got me thinking about one now, though I scarcely think I could do it justice. It was a fast build. I reckon about 5-6 days , but really its down to the great fitting trouble free kit!

Dave Williams Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Looks great! How much Hemp paint did you use? I was looking through my stock on hand and I only have two tins of Xtracolor and one of Humbrol. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
