What's on the Bench 2023
Pulled this out of storage last week and put some base coat paintwork down. Using Colourcoats enamels for the first time, they spray absolutely beautifully but not having the same level of success with a brush. I think I may persevere with this one for the near future. It started as an ‘out of...- BigGrandad

Revell snowberry in dry-dock
Hi hi Chris sort of I am trying out a different source for the rigging (the standard available threads are too thin and i am not up to stretching sprue). I am trying hobby ‘nylon’? Which has some give, but it is really accepting any of the glues in my stockpile. this is where I am at the...- BigGrandad

More detail added to Ping Yuen. Have mounted her onto the base to create a more stable situation for adding the rigging, hope it’s not a mistake- BigGrandad

Revell snowberry in dry-dock
My old 1/144 HMS Snowberry suffered some damage in a house move a few years ago so I decided to have a break from my 1/700 build to do some remedial and upgrade work. The kit was originally built out of the box with just a straight paint job along with a really crappy rigging job, so I am...- BigGrandad

Brian's 1/350 1918 Dreadnaught build
Hi Brian My dreadnought in it’s current state. I have fitted a veneer deck, a word of warning if you are contemplating this, the ‘self adhesive’ backing only stays put for a few days!!! I had to carefully lift all of the decks and add multiple spots of cyanolite to make sure it stayed put...- BigGrandad
