Hi All, This is my attempt at a vintage Matchbox kit. Unfortunately I had already started it before the group build was announced. Finding this a challenge from the start.

Nicks 1:1200 Tirpitz for under a fiver.
Well that was fun (not) I tried to get clean lines and made a hash of it. I tried to attach rigging and failed miserably snapping the mast twice in the process. The kit nearly went in the bin a number of times so I am now calling it finished. Apologies for the poor paint job I intend to purchase...- NickT

Nicks 1:1200 Tirpitz for under a fiver.
The kit is now assembled and the box turned in to a very basic sea. I am finding it very difficult to get straight edges to the painting, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Nicks 1:1200 Tirpitz for under a fiver.
Hi all, I bought this for under a fiver without really looking. A grand total of 31 parts - should have looked a bit harder I guess, serves me right. Anyway these are the parts - does the build allow a sea scape to be made or is it just the kit on its own ? Thanks, Nick T.- NickT

A newbies HMS Kelly 1/700
Hi all - my first go at a 1/700 and i'm calling it finished. I realise there's still a lot to learn as it is nowhere as good as Ralphs recent build but for a fist go I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Hope you enjoy the pictures and comments more than welcome. Thanks Nick T.- NickT
