I used my foam cutter to advantage in this project, I wouldn´t have been able to make these clean angled cuts in foam board otherwise.

I wasn´t sure about how to present the model at first, and wanted to do some experimenting, hence two bases.

The bases were primed in black and then sprayed Fire red and brown successively.

Album info I had this kit and used it to build something that was really seriously weathered, for, um, Fun. I made two versions of the base, and ultimately decided to use the drydock section instead of the slipway. The latter may be used as a model in its own right yet.
