Got these from Croppers at different times because I felt they were different enough to make an interesting display. See what you think.
This was quite an important ship. It took part in the raids on Scarborough, Whitby and Hartlepool although not actually firing any shots. It was at the battle of Jutland and fired the first shots at the start of WW2.
Although the box says 1935, some research shows that late 1936 is actually a more accurate representation as modelled.
As your probably aware, I've been a bit under the weather lately so modelling has taken a bit of a back seat. When it was time I thought I should get my lazy self started again, anything complex or fiddly seemed out of the question so I thought some "crash bang whollop" type of modelling might fit the bill, so to give myself enough to do, starting both seemed a good idea.
Here's progress to date. The pictures probably speak for themselves. Water-lined and lots of dry fitting but not a great deal stuck together other than with Humbrol Maskol so I can rip it apart.
I need to do this so I can plan where the rigging will fall, sus out how to re-engineer the masts and other stuff, then plan the painting.
