While I await the paint drying, I have made a start of scratch building HMS Broadsword.
Mainly from plastic card and the spares box so far.

The Bempton shipyard is on overdrive!
Nice work.

More containers and a few deck vehicles added. More painting and touching uo.
Sea colour added.

Looking good Dave.

Looking good indeed Dave.

While the sea dries, more work scratch building HMS Broadsword.
Bits and pieces used from anywhere and everywhere.

You must have built up a good selection of spares with the amount of 1/700 ships you've put out. Great work so far.

HMs Broadsword, deck and hull/superstructure painted different shades of grey.

HMS Broadsword with HMS Antelope alongside.

Are you going to build the whole fleet Dave?
Both are very nice models.

[Bigkev]

Looking very good together. Surprising to see the difference in beam of both ships despite being similar in length.
A super collection being created.

The type 21 Frigate is shorter by some degree, must be the photo angle.
Type 22 -445 ft, beam -48 ft 5in
Type 21 -384 ft, beam -41ft 8in
