Hi everyone
Just joined this forum, came across by complete accident, but like the look and content.
Pre-dreadnaught warships and WWII ‘small ships’, plus WWI armoured vehicles, also ‘Toons’ for a little light relief!!
 
Welcome Graham. Jump right in, the waters lovely……interested to see your pre Dreadnought ships.

Hi Tim
Thanks for the welcome. Will post a few pics soon plus some ’in progress’ shots of a long term (heavily upgraded) project on HMS Dreadnaught.
 
..... and it's a warm welcome from me too Graham :)
I look forward to seeing you around the parish ;)

Welcome to the madhouse Graham!

Not the usual kits we see on here..... Please share some of your work!

All the best.

Graham,
welcome to the forum! Loads of friendly advice and banter here - odd you should say pre-dreadnought, I'm going to post an Inbox review of HobbyBoss's HMS Agamemnon shortly. I'm having to do reviews only at the moment, because of a temporary hand problem. I've made the Zvezda Knyaz Suvorov in the past, and the Zvezda Varyag & the Revell Dresden are in the stash. Sounds like we've similar tastes, as I've made WWI tanks, and have a few WWII destroyers etc hanging around!

Hi Dave
yes I am halfway through the Zvezda Knyaz Suvorov but can’t make my mind up as to how much I detail it up, what did you think of the kit itself, it seems a bit basic compared to other manufacturers. I have a Bronco Chen Yuen completed which I thought was a bit better. Mind you I have mainly built 1/350 WWII ‘small ships’ from Black Cat, Mike at Starling Models and Peter at Atlantic and these are all superb with both PE and 3D painted parts, the ‘dogs whatsits’!
Will try and get some pics up shortly. Look forward to your review of Agammemnon, want to try a HobbyBoss kit in the near future.

The KS a bit basic and really needs some PE to bring it up. I like to waterline my models & seascape the larger ones, so that adds interest. Talking of basic - the 1/400 Potemkin, and Aurora, originally by Heller & reboxed by numerous others are almost 'toons' in their simplicity!
I hope to post the review of the Agamemnon tomorrow.......

Welcome to the nut house Graham. You'll fit right in....lots of "floaty boaty" types on here. ;)
 
Chen Yuen is fantastic Graham. Great build and an excellent seascape. Suvarov is coming along splendidly as well. What an introduction :thumb2:
