More progress with this tiny pieces of etched brass, quite difficult to work with.
I am making progress though.

Lots of small etched stuff to deal with.

Now it is onto another AJM Models kit, resin with etched brass, from Poland. Picked this up on EBay for a really good price.
This is the first British seaplane tender, HMS Ark Royal, 1/700 scale.
Very fiddly.

Everything in its final position, sea being added. HMs Sheffield decaled and varnished.

I am still not happy with my building, but it will have to suffice for now.
Nothing stuck down as yet.
HMS Sheffield still to decal and finish.

It has been quite frustrating trying to log on due to the problems.

Unfortunately my card skills have let me down, it looks awful when painted.
Will now rebuild in plastic card!!!
The joys of modelling.

Quote from: MSea on January 18, 2026, 04:38:26 PMIs the building foam board with printed paper building on the outside ????  whatever it is, it looks great.
No it is all card, I printed the building onto it.

I was not happy with some of the buildings and decided to have a go at scratch building on as a sort of customs house/ admin building.

No doubt there will be more re-jigging before it is finished/

HMS Sheffield now painted with the base colour.

I was inspired by some photos of HMS Sheffield in Portsmouth Harbour.
So that was the twist to model, a dockyard setting.
Not really Portsmouth, it could be anywhere, but HMS Victory is in the vicinity.
This was a model from Warlord Games, Black sea range, resin hull with white metal castings.
