TreehuggerLooks like you drilled out the port holes on the bow, any special plans for the port holes?

Lode SchildermansDavid, one of my favorite ships too. The build is for my eldest son. I do her in her 1942 camp when she was deployed in the Indian Ocean. I like that block scheme, just a bit of a hell to mask 😉
Treehugger, drilled out to put the windows in the portholes
James, Agnius, welcome on board 🙂

Spanjaardfinally, new build 🙂 you have been working on her in stealth mode for a while 😉
29 November 2023, 18:40
Lode SchildermansDavid, probably I will
Spanjaard, no stealth mode 🙂. Started this build 6 weeks ago. Extremely fast for me
Martin, you should. You sold me the kit
Thanks, Hans-Jürgen

Lode SchildermansJan, Rui, glad to have you here
Urban, it seems to be the favorite ship of many people. Including me, it is one of my favorite ships.

David TaylorShe was in many battles,Norway the Med ,mined and hit by Fritz X bombs and after all that scrapped a very sad end.the Elizabeth class definitely gave value for money.

Lode SchildermansDavid, I can only agree that such a decorated ship had in such a sad way
Tom, unfortunately, a lot can go wrong, but that depends on the skills of the builder, and I'm far from perfection
Jennifer, thank you. I like this camo more than her final one, but it is a masking tape consuming one 🙂

James CLooking stunning as always Lode. I really like the subtle weathering that you've applied. Nicely done mate. 👍

Lode SchildermansThank you, Michael
David, I had no option than trying to give her the credits she desserved
Jan, Shar, much appreciated
James, you showed me the way on working with oils. I'm very grateful. It allows me to do a subtle weathering. Learned from the master

Martin OostromI absolutely love picture 43 at waterline level. It shows the shape of the hull and radiates the power these ships had.
Imagine being an enemy ship and this shows up from a North Sea fog at close range.
Another masterpiece!

Lode SchildermansMartin, thank you for your very nice compliment. Personally, I also think it's one of the best photos. Your description of it typifies what I think of the Warspite. Thanks, mate

Bruce HuxtableVery impressive built, superb. You have a good eye for the weathering, too, which greatly adds to the finished 'look'.

Lode SchildermansMartin, it wasn't the finished build yet 🙂. I just have uploaded the final pictures

Lode SchildermansThank you Bruce. I put a lot of time in the weathering (a stage I like a lot) I'm quite pleased with this build except the railings that not did fit as I expected

Spanjaardfantastic, looking forward seeing it in the flesh.... going to Veldhoven with it maybe?
17 May, 08:24
Lode Schildermans🙂 Spanjaard. For sure not @Veldhoven. Since it is a build on commissioning for my eldest son, this ship will probably not go in competition

Martin OostromEach ship is better than the one before. And we all thought the last one was perfect. It is amazing that you still find ways to improve.
The weather is still a bit chilly for tropical uniforms, and why is that bloke on the bridge giving an inappropriate salute?
17 May, 21:28
Lode SchildermansThank you Gorby.
Spanjaard, sorry for that, but who knows
Martin, it is not the ships that are improving, it are my qualities as a photographer. Weather conditions here, I fully agree. 80 years ago in the Mediterranean sea, I think the sailors were pretty much satisfied with tropical uniforms. And that bloke, giving an inappropriate salute. I think you should review Fawlty towers and English humor 😉. It is not appropriate, it is just a salute to an Italian sailor to point out where the hitting shell is flying
