This is going to be my build for this GB. Ron used to like building boats/ ships on seascapes. So this is what I’m going to do with this one. And I’ve got a little bit of PE to go with it.

Nice one Ian , just the sort of thing Ron loved .
Cheers Tony, I’m going to build her as she was just after she was torpedoed and before she sank.
Good to see another ship and a great one too. Count me in please
Ron's seascapes were always a pleasure to see. Look forward to seeing your Ark Royal build up Ian. The White Ensign PE looks comprehensive.
Nice one. PE in this scale - brave.
Welcome aboard Bob
Yes if not a little daunting Joe.
Brave or foolish Colin I’m not sure
Following along, looks a cool kit and with the extras too!

Made a start on this one, I’ve got the hull halves put together also put some armour plating on and drilled out all the portholes.
A lot of drilling Ian, it looks good. And quite large too
Never realised a warship had so many portholes , top work Ian ( might need a new drill bit now though !)
PE at 1/600! I feel for your sanity Ian!!
Lovely work so far

Yes Tony, and they keep filling up with dust every time I’m sanding it, loads of flash on this old kit.
Drilling all those ports out, well it kept you off the streets.
Ha! If I can do railings on my 1/700th ships, this will be easy!PE at 1/600! I feel for your sanity Ian!!
Lovely work so far
Or not
They do tend to bend in inappropriate ways
Looking good so far
Now, about rigging the Swordfish...
