Spots on the Internet (2023)

That Triumph is a real triumph. The spokes are superb, along with all the cabling. 3D printed and plastic mix I assume…..

All resin printed, I think - more pictures from the CSM Facebook page..................

I think you must say that is state of the art! I've seen comissioned one-offs as good, but to offer models commercially is a different matter...............

Great printing….but a bit of a mare to paint I think……I’d be happier if it was in more bits myself.

Interesting idea…..

With all these ship components in 1:72 and 1:35 of recent years, I wonder how long it’ll be before some manufacturer does release a proper warship in one of those scales …

Some aircraft carrier sections in 1/48 would be fine with me

Now that would cheer Julie up !!

You can get some Eduard flight deck sections:

https://www.eduard.com/Eduard/US-Navy-Aircraft-Carrier-Deck-1-48.html?listtype=search&searchparam=carrier%20deck

Theses are injection moulded pieces. You do have to look around a bit, as they don't seem to be in the catalogue.
Coastal kits in Blackpool do some deck sections - these are printed onto plastic board OK, but a bit too flat..........

I was more thinking of a full warship. Sure, there’s the Matchbox, now Revell, Flower-class corvette in 1:72 as well as some submarines, and 1:35 scale MTBs and similar, but that’s about it, isn’t it? But given we have 1:72 and 1:35 scale battleship main turrets, and now a 1:35 scale aircraft carrier island … I want them to release the rest of the ships too! Not to buy and build myself, of course — just to see someone release them

That said, the island would have made more sense in 1:32 …
