After the Ashanti ,I did a quick build of the latest Airfix 350th kit ,the Trafalgar class SSN,only took five days,but I`m happy with the Result.

Cheers ,Phil

Another really nice looking build, Phil. Out of curiousity, I'd like to know how you create your "ocean" and ship's wake. I've only done static display models on a stand, never anything "at sea" and I'd like to know how you get such realism in such short build time!

Regards,

This shows the "Reeder" method of seascapes, Thanks Phil

Thanks for the post Phil...really interesting to see how that's done. I can see why you stick with it, it really does look "real!" Apparently the ocean is a different color of blue where your ships sail, though...:)

Always nice to see "how it's done" by the masters of the craft.

Also, thanks for the tip on the website...now I can spend hours drifting around looking at sci-fi and ship models! :rolleyes:

The colour of the North Sea where I live is sometimes Brown , Gray and on very rare occasions blue,not like around Hawaii,in the middle of the Blue Pacific!

Spot on Phil, Spot on

always a fan of the T-Boats, had a friend who used to serve on Trafalgar, he once offered to let me join the ship for a short voyage from Gibraltar to Plymouth, being claustrophobic i respectfully declined ;)

Sadly he died a few years ago but im sure he'd also love ure Model, (mind u hed probably gripe about it not being traf ;))

Great work once again!
