The Monitor HMS Roberts, Sword Beach ** Finished **

[TobyC]

That is really first rate work. Like it a lot.

Little sloppy around the railings, rigging, and antenna, but ….





The rigging and antennae on the masts are representative, not complete in any regard ….



I don't have a 700 scale white ensign to fly - I will have to fix that ….





I'm happy enough, it's not going onto a contest floor anywhere. Gave me the opportunity to learn some new historical stuff and finally complete a 1/700 ship kit ….

Enjoyed the GB, thanks David & everyone for the encouragement ….

A great build and a great subject. I'll be rereading this thread in the future for sure.

Well, you certainly won't be getting any complaints from me; as far as I'm concerned, she's one of the highlights of this GB.

[lancfan]

I agree with you there Rob.

Indeed a fine looking little ship, more so considering the fiddly scale...great work on an unusual but very interesting subject...

[JohnRatzenberger]

Thank you very much, everyone.

I have always enjoyed "adopting" some unique subject, diving into the research, then modeling it - regardless of any invective hurled at it during the build
