HMS King George V

Spanjaard
permission to come aboard capitan?

Martin Oostrom
Interesting how the similar camo, in different colours, make her seem smaller than her sister

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Spanjaard, permission granted.
Martin, I think that the fact KGV had a grey hull gives this impression

James C
Completely missed this one sorry, but following now mate 👀👍

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Welcome James on this new adventure

Jörg Schäfer
Da bleib ich doch dabei.

Steven Van Dyck
In this model Lode will install a speaker that will play hiphop music, to win the next best of show. The hull looks nice already!

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Welcome to the journey, Jörg
Steven, I'm more a Pink Floyd fan, so I thought why not "the great gig in the sky" 😉

Michael Kohl
I'll take a seat as well.

Rui S
I'm in 😎

David Taylor
Back in.

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Michael, Rui, David, you are most welcome. I'll try to post some photos from time to time

James C
Taking shape nicely mate 👍

Lode Schildermans Szerző
James, I had 3 days off, so a bit of time to continue with the painting. Always fun to do a RN camo. Especially matching the superstructure with the hull

Martin Oostrom
Weathering looks very real!

Lode Schildermans Szerző
As a former shipman you are, I'll take this as a compliment, Martin

David Taylor
Cannot remember if he carried Walrus or Swordfish.

Michael Kohl
The weathering brings already life into the build.

Christian Lehmann
👍

James C
Looks to be slowly coming alive with the addition of the cranes and launches etc
Very nice detail work Lode 👍.

Gary Victory
Really nice work Lode. Looking like a great build Sir.

Guy Rump
Looking good, following. 👍

Martin Oostrom
She looks very fine so far. Is there any progress?

Thomas Wirsching
Looks great Lode! May I ask you which colors you did used for the camoflage? It looks spot on and it would fit also to my HMS Roberts monitor...

Lode Schildermans Szerző
David, Michael, Christian, Gary, Guy, thank you for your kind replies.
James, you know me. it is all in the details 🙂
Martin, no progress these past weeks since I've had eye surgery. Hopefully within a few weeks
Thomas, I use MRP paint to match as much as possible the right colors. G10 - MRP113, G45 - MRP372; B30 - MRP405, Hull - MRP222 and for B15, I made an own mixture of several blues. The adopted scheme is KGV as depicted in 1943

James C
All the best for a swift recovery mate 👍

Spanjaard
+1

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Thanks my fellow bunch mates. Time will tell

Martin Oostrom
Get well soon buddy

Steven Van Dyck
We saw Lode with very cool looking shades at Scaleworld. He was the king of Pontos.

Lode Schildermans Szerző
@Martin : It will surely take some time. I've to wait my second surgery.
@Steven : Thanks buddy. You know I'm fond of that brand, but apparently, impossible to hide it for others 🙂

Martin Oostrom
Lode is the Belgian king of Cool! Doesn't need shades

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Some progress. It starts to look as a ship

Mr James
Lovely detail gone into those tenders and the deck weathering looks fabulous.

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Thank you for your kind comment, Mr James
Martin, are you not exaggerating a bit?

Shar Dipree
Great work. Great details, lovely weathering, a beautiful model. Like it. 👍

Martin Oostrom
Nope, I never exaggerate when discussing your qualities.
I forgot Master of Macho, Boss of Boats and Most Flemish of Friends 😄

Nice ship by the way 😉

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Shar Dipree, thank you for liking the details and weathering..

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Martin :-D don't you exaggerate by nature? And since when am I Master of Macho? BTW, there is a little chance she will sail to IPMS Belgium mid-September. It depends how final work progress in the next few weeks

Martin Oostrom
I love to heap praise on you. In my opinion, there can't be enough of it.
Plastic and steel is a maybe for now. 16/17 September in Waregem?

Spanjaard
on standby 😉

Spanjaard
nobody created the event yet?

Spanjaard
Done Plastic and steel (16. and 17. September, Waregem BE)

Spanjaard
Is she safely sailing to Waregem? 😉

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Probably not. I don't think she will be finished by mid September. It will depend on the progress next week.

Spanjaard
👍

Pietro De Angelis
WOW, masterpiece!

Lode Schildermans Szerző
Thank you Pietro

Spanjaard
Ok, we will have to wait to see the king of the seas, but i hope to aee you in Weregem anyway 😉

James C
Intricate work on the rigging Lode. 👍

Lode Schildermans Szerző
I will be there, Spanjaard

Lode Schildermans Szerző
James, thank you so much. It was quite a challenge this time and only partially successful. The main mast wasn't what I intended, but after all, satisfied with the alternative

Martin Oostrom
🥳🥳🥳 Great end result. I love how she looks similar and yet totally different from her sisters. Another build to be very proud of!

Guy Rump
Beautiful! 👍

David Taylor
Done to a turn,spot on.

James C
Congrats mate, that's a stunning looking result 👍

Christian Bruer
I don't know why I missed this so far?! Excellent work, I much love the weathering effects 👍

Villiers de Vos
Fantastic work.
