HIJMAS Mikasa (painted sample photos 1/05/11)

That guy took the order a little too literally when the captain announced "All hands abandon ship!" 




Sorry.

I was going to say JB is very handy at sculpting, but........   

Seriously, he is a very nice figure indeed - presumably the missing mitts are ready to be glued on? Unarmed sailors are very rare and always useful as miscellaneous crew figures. Any chance he might be released commercially?

The rivets look ok as they are, but presumably there will be thousands more of them, so spacing them out more may be a good idea.

This looks like it could be the next "big thing" after Gamer Mac's recent insanity.

Oooooh! It's going to be a biggun! Great work, as usual, so far. 

and it'll be armed and armoured so if you think your poxy little flyers can take it on, be my guest...

I sketched some aerial mines not too long ago. They might do the job  .

[Alfrik]

Awaiting further developments.

Thanks chaps 

And now for some paint 

I've kept the colour scheme the same as my existing neffs as it's easier (and none of you buggers suggested anything    )





Now down to designing the bloody thing    I have an idea of what I want now as to layout etc so I'll get some sketches done today or tomorrow and post accordingly 

@Colin, the windows will be separate elements to be glued in after the painting to keep them clean.

It will be weathered a bit more because it doesn't just fly through the aether 

cheers

Better add some battle damage and powder burns as well then

[Alfrik]

So will you be putting a Dazzle pattern to the finished ship?

[Ray Rivers]

 

Very nice!

Looking forward to the sketches.

Sorry, I thought it was going to stay translucent. 'Lovely stealth dig gondola, no?' ;->=

Tis a great beauty already, and it seems it's just begun?!?

Don't forget the final image post in the sticky!
