Chris 's small 1/700 Tiger build

[rtfoe]

My kinda scale Chris, just a little advice...don't sneeze. :smiling5: Flat bottom girls you make the rocking world go round...yeah get on your bikes and ride...
Doesn't mean its small it'll be a fast build if you're adding PE.

Cheers,

Well done to complete the " mini ship". Certainly must have been strange to work on something so small. Now back to the day job :thumb2:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]n1197502[/ATTACH]AN has anybody got in their stash a 1/700 type 12 leander they would like to SELL me as it would be nice to have the ships sailin side by side doin a RAS ?
CHRISB

Isn't the Type 12 the Whitby class?
OK, Ive answered my own question!!! I have just seen the Leanders were Type 12I, the I for Improved!!!. I'm shocked I didn't already know that as I taught recognition when I was in!! I even served on a Leander too!!!!! Going away to hang my head in shame!!!
I always knew them as Whitby class and Leander class frigates.
For comparison Here are a Whitby class on the left (HMS Rothesay). HMS Bristol centre and a Leander on the right, (HMS Euryalus). Rothesay's Wasp overflying!! I took the image from Euryalus' Wasp.

Hey Chris.
I think you’re being a bit harsh on yourself with regards to how this turned out. To me it looks good (albeit a little simplified) and it might still be worth doing a seascape just to have a bit of fun and try something new.
