Excellent Dave.

Imam not sure what to model next, bit of a problem.
I would like to combine a building with some sort of garage/workshop, but the brain cells are struggling.

What about a little boatyard.

I do have a 1/350 Corvette and the brass with it, but after the Tirpitz I am not sure, once bitten, twice shy.

Could be nothing more than a shed where small wood boats are made, rowing boats
small motor boats, that sort of stuff.

Absolutely amazing Dave.
Top class modelling.
For your next subject, how about a  'Royal Observer Corps Monitoring Post'. A sort of cut away under ground shot.
That would be cool.

I was in the ROC for a short time in the 1960's.

I was thinking more on the lines of what you would see at places like Hornsea, Filey etc where
boats are launched off the beach using a tractor or tracked vehicle. There's usually a shed/building
where "Mr Fixit" works, makes boats, fixes engines, sloshes paint on if asked.
Probably the biggest boat would be no more than 25 ft long so in 1/48 it's within your scope
and continues the tractor theme. Engines could be anything, at that size, commercial engines
with a marine gearbox would be used.
Good excuse for a day out to do some research.

Nice idea.

Here is my research circa 1990.
Filey Coble Landing.

Good start, the rest is up to your imagination.

You could always do a small workshop in the future repairing robots - to let your imagination run riot with the background - you could even have a zombie looking in the workshop window.
Just a thought, I think I can hear you shouting "shut up and keep your daft ideas to yourself" -- hohohohoho

Don't come down to Hornsea for references! the place is full to the gunwales with visitors eating Fish & Chips!

Excellent work Dave

A Woar is ......................... any guesses?
I have been playing about with cereal packets and so far have managed this.
It scales ou about 27 ft in 1/35 scale.
It is a bit rough and ready, it may just serve as a test piece.
