Aeronef - Finished with plenty of new pics

[Melnibonean]

Hello Folks,

Here are some pics of my WIP second attempt at an aeronef and some 28mm figs for scale (my first nef was to small - but good for 15mm!)

This is based around two Revell kits - Viking Ship and 1/48 Albertross. There are also bits an pieces from here and there. There's a big sail that comes with the Viking Ship but I chose not to use it here although I can see it appearing on another nef in the near future.

I have two harpoon guns that will be mounted on the bridge and, in case you're wondering, the thing on the fordeck is a rocket launcher armed with a couple of Congreve Rockets.

I really like the look of that 

And somehow the plane wings on the front really set it off 

Using the viking ship is rather inspirational, was there any problem removing the plank detail or is it still there as I can't quite make it out on the photos?

cheers

Looks good!

I left the plank detail but I added a strip of plasticard along where the holes fo rthe ores were. the strip gives it a nice "mixed media" look. I also added a long wedge of plasticard on the bottom running the length of the hull to widen the whole model.

Reminds me of the pirate ship from Stardust.  Nice job.

That's great! Looking forward to seeing it painted up.

Looks great.

I have a couple of the longboats on the shelf at the store to encourage sales of Vikings, but as that's not working, I may have to retrieve same and use your work as inspiration. Actually, had been thinking in that direction, though not with such 'modernity'.

So, can't quite claim 'two great minds' and such, but I will steal remorselessly.  

REALLY looking forward to seeing steps to completion, and don't forget the aeronef sticky when you're finished!

Great job! Lovely design!

[Dr DeAth]

Very nice indeed, looking forward to seeing it painted.

Ah very nice indeed! 

It looks like my British have a new opponent

It will be interesting to see this ship go head to head with my HMES Hermes.

Gotta get another game of gaslight going soon

Cheers

  Awesome!

May I ask which nation's ensign flies at this fine vessel's masthead?

[Traveler Man]

Inspired!  I'm looking forward to photos of the finished result.

[Mr.J]

Very nice and quite different too.

I love it!
