I've not posted much here lately, mostly because I've been stupidly busy at work (working 13 days out of each 14 due to a staff shortage), I did get this almost finished but it cast off and sailed away across the cutting mat before I could [...]

Prince of Wales in 1/350 scale from Tamiya, 2nd... part

Airfix 1/72 RAF Rescue Boat

This kit is as old as me! I remember making it as a child and wanted to make it again, with more care this time. This kit also features a few firsts for me since I started modelling 'properly' as an adult: first ship, I usually do [...]
