Looks like a good day out by all Alan, nice to see some grey war canoes in amongst as well.

Lee

[Alan 45]

Yeah mate it was but please forgive the strange looking bloke in the blue coat he kept sneaking into the pics

There's a type 23 frigate on there and I'm starting one of those tomorrow , it's good to get real photos of kits you have so you can reference things like colours and rigging sometimes kits don't give those sorts of touches

[Lee W]

I'm sure you'll do it proud mate, I wanted HMS Leander and then convert it to a batch 3 so I could model one of my ships but alas...rocking horse poo springs to mind

Lee

[Alan 45]

I'll do my best it's been a while since I've done a warship.

It's always difficult to change a kit into something else I did a HMS Ramilies by combining two kits for an old chap who served on her and that was a nightmare so I know what you mean

[Guest]

Wow, field day for naval enthusiasts! Plenty of reference too!

John

[Guest]

Wow! That's s beauty

Excellent photos for references. Thanks to share them mate I'm glad to see you have a very nice day

Great day out, re pic no 8 I didn't know about that building method for the prow of a ship, I would have thought house bricks would get a bit soggy and it must be special waterproof mortar. What is the dog skeleton ?

The skeleton of the dog is real it was found on the reck of the Mary rose as is the skeleton of the man , he apparently was an archer.

These photos don't tell a tenth of of what is at the museum it was a wonderful day and me and the wife are going back because we didn't get the chance to go over to the submarine museum

I'm glad you all like the pics

[monica]

wow Looks like a great day out by all Alan,

[eddiesolo]

Si

[Alan 45]
