While Bellerophon awaits the arrival of some new paint I've returned to my HMAS Sydney.

Most excellent and quite the accomplishment in such an apparently small scale!

Nice! :smiley:
I'd like a HMAS Sydney (I) in 1/350, then I'd buy a SMS Emden & do a little Christmas Island/North Keeling diorama (it bugs me that there are Emden kits in 1/350 available but no Sydney kits).

Yeah never understood it myself. I was going to do a dio myself with Emden, but decided I wanted a version of each Sydney by themselves

I recommend Dutch Fleet Naval Miniatures on Shapeways for the last two HMAS Sydneys (FFG7 and F100) https://www.shapeways.com/shops/dutchfleet?section=Australia&s=0 (https://www.shapeways.com/shops/dutchfleet?section=Australia&s=0)

Thanks for the heads up. For Sydney IV i recently picked up the dragon version.

That was clever went to edit a spelling error and deleted the post.
Anyway, here it is again, the current state of my HMAS Sydney collection. The carrier arrived today. really need to get back to work on them.

Where's the carrier from?
-
L'Arsenal. I got Glory so it came with the right aircraft. some mods and it should look like Sydney in the Korean war i hope

Cool, not cheap though.

Could not the different scales work FOR you?
The larger vessel closer with the smaller further away giving the impression of range?
I once saw a dio made by a guy here in OZ - he was doing a paratroop drop, and had 1/48th, 1/72nd and 1/144th C-47 aircraft included - was amazing - just forgot to take a picture of it!!!!

I have a thing for 1/350 ships, don't ask me why - I have no idea, but 1/700 would be so-o much cheaper! :-\

yep. that's my reason for getting back into ships in the smaller scale

The rest of this week will be spent finishing off a couple of entries for our local model show on the 2nd Feb. Crossing my fingers this will include the WW1 Sydney. Then I hope to start on my RAN Korean war ships. Have got a heap of replacement AA guns and managed to find a Dragonfly helicopter to start turning Glory into Sydney. Plus got hold of some PE and aftermarket guns to start work on turning Huron into Bataan.

That's incredibly well done and the rigging is amazing!

Thanks Fellas. Rather pleased with the result

Other than a few kits, navy ship models of late 19th early 20th century were for decades ignored by model companies (US market anyway). Glad to see them showing up during recent years.
Enjoyed careful study of build details which you obviously paid much attention to. Like how deck contrasts realistically with superstructure, boats, guns, and fittings. Doing the rigging with its many attachment points to deck and masts is an UGH job, though must say you got it. The more one (a model builder) looks the more one sees lotta work done with fine results. :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
Considering starting ship kitbash so paying more attention to ships.
Get flashback of 4-stacker destroyers.

Nicely done! :smiley: :smiley:
