German WW2 mineswepers from HP models in 1/700 scale.
The HP kits have very nice casting,very small but clear parts for this scale and they need only some pe to detailed them more.In this case i create new masts and only add some pe guns.As usually i paint them with Vallejo colours and some oils.

                                 

GEORGIOS AVEROF ARMORED CRUISER AT NAUTICAL PARK MUSEUM (MARINA OF FLOISVOS,ATHENS,GREECE)

FFKJFKLLAL

The diorama has finished at last. During the construction ,i was asked to represent a second warship,which is also at the Museum .The second warship is Velos destroyer ,which has also a brave history .Although there was not my customer's demand for a detailed representation of this ship,as it was to be within the scenery backround of Averof,it was also improved .This was done by the use of PE set from FlagShip models (as you can notice in the photos).I have used the Trumpeter model.The figures in 1:350 were from 4D models and Larsenal.The vehicles and the yahts are 4D models too.All paintings have been done using Vallejo colors.The sea scape has been paint by oils over a layer of acrylics and a lot of acrylic gel. Enjoy the pictures.
