As the title says new Amazon prime series

Victory at Sea

Spread across 26 episodes, this Emmy-winning docuseries is the complete story of World War II at sea, culled together from archival footage shot by every major combatant nation.

It might only work in the UK but give it a try, mostly black and white footage from the start of the war through to the end. Enjoy

I would really love to see a model for the SS Great Britain.

And one close to my heart a model of a Scilly Isles or Cornish Pilot Gig, shows examples and a small set of plans.

Not bought one yet but once my workshop is completed, not easy saving on disability

will let you know when i do

Hi,

I am looking to buy a 18 inch Byrnes Table Saw. I have not used one for many years and have never owned one, however I would like your advise as to what parts I should buy with the basic saw to make it perfect for scratch building. i am looking to eventually build a first rate in 1/48 scale and will be ripping my own planks for decking and hull. As I live in the UK getting all the parts in one go makes sense due to custom and postage costs. Can anyone please tell me what Should i buy :-

With the Speedy upgrade, will people who bought the original set be able to buy an upgrade kit to bring their kits up to this new standard>

Regards

Guy

Impeccable work as always. I am looking forward to seeing the rigging completed.

I have read a few of these books, and they are fine, but not of the same calibre as the Hornblower and Aubrey series, I think. Plus the name of some of the ships is highly questionable - Buzzard for a frigate, or Caligula for a ship of the line! 

?? What books were they in then as I dont remember those names?

How about a vessel from the greatest Naval Disaster of it's age when the HMS Association (90), HMS Firebrand (16), HMS Eagle (70) and HMS Romney (50) Foundering on the Isles of Scilly in 1707 with a loss of in excess of 2000 men. Which led to the introduction the longitude Act of 1714.

Guy

Chris,

I would like to suggest any vessel relating to the Bolitho Series of Novels by Douglas Reeman writing as Alexander Kent.

There is a complete list here :-  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bolitho_novels

Chris,

Fantastic news, Congratulations on the newest member of the Vanguard Models family of kits.
