revells US Navy Icebreaker

[popeye]

This is Revells re-release of the old "East Wind" kit re-named Burton Island, revell were good at doing these "box scales" so no idea at all what scale it actually ism as with all revell ship kits they come with that rubbish moulded in hand rail detail so that was removed and some odd bits of photo-etch railing used, the "ice" is bathroom tile grout with some bits broken up, the sea is painted blue/green household paint coverd over with some clear resin, i dont have this model either as i gave it to by brother in law, he said he'd like it however on a visit some time later i saw it chucked in the cupboard all broken up. WTF say you want it when ya dont? relations!! ya cant choose em and its against the law to shoot em ;D

Of all the ships you've posted here, I think I like this one the best! Ingenious way to depict the ice. It actually looks like it's cutting through the Arctic ice!!

Thanks Keith, it made a nice little display which is why i thought my Bro in law would like it, to find he just thrown it in his paint store (a large cupboard on the ground floor of the flats he lived in) was a bit dissapointing, it was all smashed up, at least the otheres i sold went to a guy that was very pleased with them, he drove down from the midlands late at night to collect and pay for them, bloody "inlaws"

Incredible display here with the ice and all. Amazing work.
