1/72 HMS Iron Duke - Type 23 Frigate
There is still a lot of sanding and filling to do now, but she's taking shape. The deck is not fitted yet as I still need to figure out the electrics, but the hull has been filled, epoxy coated and undercoated. That pretty much brings me up where I am at the moment, and due to a disagreement...- Tworrs

1/72 HMS Iron Duke - Type 23 Frigate
Photo dated 30 June Here is where I came to realise that the plans were not perfect, the frame drawing dims didn't match the deck dims, (and yes I checked it multiple times) which meant a lot of playing around to get it all to work. FUN ;)- Tworrs

1/72 HMS Iron Duke - Type 23 Frigate
Moving on to the beginning of June, I started assembling the frames in the keel, trying valiantly to keep everything in line. Then I flipped the whole thing over, to make sure everything lined up, which obviously it didn't, but I did manage to get right in the end. Till the next episode. Garry- Tworrs

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
