Just back from visiting the IWM's HMS Belfast and what a fantastic experience. I wouldn't say it helped a great deal in me finishing my Airfix kit, as the ship on the Thames has been knocked around considerably since it saw action in WW2, but the atmosphere of being on board and tour of engine room was a real highlight!
Where as my previous attempt at building ships have left me thinking when finished, how grey and drab they were, for HMS Belfast I probably went a little bit too far the other way with a full Technicolor paint job!
Added railings, rigging and a little light weathering to my Airfix 1/600 scale HMS Belfast.
Looking a little more like the real thing now.
