1/72 HMS Iron Duke - Type 23 Frigate
I decided that as far as possible I would scratch build, obviously there will be certain items that are beyond my capabilities, and will have to be bought. Here is the frame drawing, and the cut out frames, 34 in total. Garry 21 May s.- Tworrs

1/72 HMS Iron Duke - Type 23 Frigate
Having been inspired by some very talented builders on this forum, and being the sucker for punishment that I am, I ordered a set of plans for HMS Iron Duke from Quaycraft for the Type 23 Frigate in 1/72 scale in April 2022. Boatman has been very helpful in getting me going, and has been on at...- Tworrs

Tworrs Tamiya 1/48 Supermarine Spitfire MkI
Here is my completed Spitfire, and my first attempt at full weathering of a model. I'm not totally unhappy with the result, and have learned a lot in the process. I didn't do a build thread, just in case I cocked it up completely :smiling3: C&C welcome. Cheers Garry- Tworrs

Tamiya 1/24 Lotus Super 7 Series II
Here is my completed Lotus. Not a particularly difficult build, and the parts were for the most part pretty good, and fit correctly. It did test my spraying abilities somewhat, but I did learn a lot, which I will carry forward to future builds. Here is a photo of the engine bay.- Tworrs

Tamiya 1/24 Lotus Super 7 Series II
On the home straight now. It hasn't been a bad kit to build, only a couple of minor irritations.- Tworrs

Tamiya 1/24 Lotus Super 7 Series II
I have started on this little beauty as my next venture. If I could have afforded it I would have had a real one, but that was not to be. I was a bit impatient and got started before taking the naked sprue shots, so here is where I am at the moment. Sorry, I was determined to include plug...- Tworrs

Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32
Thanks for your thoughts Steve, no the feed orientation is correct. The ammo belt feeds out of the top front of the ammo box, and then up and around a conical feed guide which can be seen on the side of the MG. Cheers Garry- Tworrs

Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32
With sincere thanks to Jakko, who noted the weird ammo belt, and my noted frustration with said belt I have come up with a plan B. By removing the ammo feed, as if the weapon is not loaded, I think reduces the shabbiness of the end result, as well as my irritation . What do you think? That is...- Tworrs

Tworrs Revell 1/32 Westland Lynx MK8 (Peters helicopter GB 2022)
Here is my just completed contribution to the helicopter GB that Peter kindly arranged. A very interesting build, which at times stretched my abilities, which I count as a good thing. The kit itself was pretty good, however I did find the instructions at times differed from the actual parts...- Tworrs

Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32
Well, my helichopperwhirlybird offering is pretty much done. I have taken this to the level that I am comfortable with, and my skill level allows, so all in I am reasonably pleased with the end result. No it's not perfect, but I'm getting better with every model, and most importantly having fun.- Tworrs

Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32
Progress thus far. I have managed to get all the external trim attached, main colours sprayed and clear coated. Now to the windows, that will be fun :smiling2: and then the decals and some delicate weathering.- Tworrs

Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32
I managed to spend a little time on my build today. The decals are now applied in the cockpit which looks a whole lot better. Also started assembly to the stage that I can do the filling, touching up and adding some body colour. I did make a bit of a dogs breakfast of the initial paintwork while...- Tworrs

Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32
I think I have gone as far as I am able, until the decals arrive to complete the consoles. The cabin area is being closed up. I will have to keep myself busy preparing other areas of the build in the meantime. Chers Garry- Tworrs

Tworrs Westland Lynx Revell 1/32
I've made a tentative start on my build. Once the decals arrive from Revell, I'll be able to complete and assemble some cockpit elements, but in the interim I am happy to just plod along, and paint a few bits and pieces. It's actually quite good going this slow, as it gives me the opportunity to...- Tworrs
