Well Lode your doing my favourite WW2 warship so I am definitely in.Are you doing early or late fit out.

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

James C
Ohhh nice! and following! 👀👍

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
David, 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 🙂

David Taylor
Will you be rigging the Swordfish.

Spanjaard
finally, new build 🙂 you have been working on her in stealth mode for a while 😉

Martin Oostrom
I'm loving this!

Hans-Jürgen Haag
👀

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
David, 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

Jan Peters
Looking good 👍🏻 will follow this one 👍🏻

Urban Gardini
Ooooh, my favourite ship of all time...

Rui S
I'm in 😎

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
Jan, 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 Taylor
She 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.

Tom B.
Can´t go wrong with the mighty Warspite! Great work so far 👍

Jennifer Franklin
very nice, the camo looks great

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
David, 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 🙂

Spanjaard
but the results speak by themselves 😉

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
Thank you, Spanjaard. Thay's very kind

Michael Kohl
Another very impressive build of yours.

David Taylor
You've done him proud Lode.

Jan Peters
This is looking great 👍🏻

Shar Dipree
Very nice! 👍 👍 👍

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

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
Thank 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

Urban Gardini
The grand old lady sure looks fine!

Martin Oostrom
I 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 Schildermans Schrijver
Thanks for you nice comment Urban

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
Martin, 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

Martin Oostrom
Why only 1 picture of the completed beauty?

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

Guy Rump
Beautiful modelling, congrats! 👍

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

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
Thank 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

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
Thank you for your nice comment, Guy.

James C
Congrats Lode, very nicely done mate 👍

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
Thank you very much, James. Up to the next 😉

Neuling
Excellent work!

Spanjaard
fantastic, looking forward seeing it in the flesh.... going to Veldhoven with it maybe?

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
Thank you Neuling for liking the build

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
🙂 Spanjaard. For sure not @Veldhoven. Since it is a build on commissioning for my eldest son, this ship will probably not go in competition

gorby
Amazing! Stunning result.

Spanjaard
👍

Martin Oostrom
Each 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?

Rui S
Another Beautiful model. Excellent work as always 👍

Lode Schildermans Schrijver
Thank 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

Mr James
Beautifully painted. Excellent build
