This is another IBG kit, HMS Garland, another G Class, H37, lent to the Polish, so also ORP Garland,
The B turret was removed and replaced by a Hedgehog Spigot Mortar for throwing depth charges in front of the ship.
On this kit it is shown in its closed up form.

There is quite a lot of etched brass to deal with.

Looks very good,  comprehensive etch on this one methinks!

I am tempted to not paint is and bring it to the next meeting, just to show the unwashed masses.

That might be a great idea to show how much work goes into such a small ship. You have a lot of patience.

Just do it Zak - think a few need to know that a model is NOT just a couple of bits and then excellent paint job.

Very nice erched brass work. It would be interesting to see it before painting.

Yes we'll done. I don't think I'd have the patience to fit that much etch onto such a small model.

Here is the USS Enterprise from Tamiya, 1:700.just finished, with aircraft of various types on board, painted with Tamiya paint, some etched railings added.
OOPS! Just noticed that bent out of shape mast, something else to sort out.

Now onto the Trumpeter SS Jeremiah O-Brien Liberty Ship.
Built quickly and cheaply, the liberty ships delivered cargo to all theatres of war.
Over 2,700 Liberty ships were constructed.
Just opened the box.

Now on with the build, I will be building this as a waterline model.

[Bigkev]

You won't be building all 2,700 will you........

[zak]

No, perhaps a smattering, 2,500 or so!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
