Out of Comfort Zone

Post by Kevthemodeller »

Ok I've not got a selection for you to choose from, as I'm really quite happy building just about anything accept ships :scratch:: :doh: I've got a passion for battleships having spent most of my adult life diving on their wrecks all over the world, in more recent years in Scapa Flow 4 - 5 times a year, until Covid. :wall:

I've got three Tamiya 1:700 battleships in my stash, I've had two of them for well over 20yrs, one about 15 but I kept ignoring them. Put off by the scale, levels of PE and to really get the best out of them, building a sea scape base :jd: For me, required to get a model of a passion, to a level I'd be happy with.

I've not built a ship in any form since I was about 15, I've run out of fingers and toes to count the years :shhh:

The kits, two are 70's, one early 00's vintage, they are:

HMS Repulse
HMS Hood
HMS King George V

Repulse is a real passion and expensive, Hood is very hard to find and therefore expensive. Both were lost in action as you'll probably know, I don't want to screw them up. That leaves KGV and that's going to be my next build, PE, base and all :eeek:
