  1. Hi the engine is very well modelled and go's together easily the tricky part is the pipes Can't wait to see your build Martyn
  2. Thanks again for the likes guys The engine is now complete just a little weathering. Next job the cockpit which is just as detailed. Really looking forward to starting it Thanks again Martyn
  3. Thanks for the likes guys Some more work on the engine Enjoy Martyn
  4. Cheers for looking in guys A little update on the build. Starting to put the engine together it's like a kit in its self brilliant job Airfix Here's a few pictures More to come later Martyn
  5. Cheers guys for the comments this will be a out of the box build. The engine on this is brilliant Martyn
  6. Hi all got this for Christmas. I will be doing a build log soon so watch this space See you later Martyn
  7. Not another victory I think there was a lot of other ships that could have been a lot more interesting from the battle
  8. Thank you for the brilliant comments. Hopefully will be a update soon as I have been working on the rigging Martyn
  9. Hi all sorry for the long delay but life has got in the way. I've been working on the yards and sails. These have been made from a old shirt that has been cut and distressed by rubbing them with rough sandpaper and then painted with different greens and browns. Next job more sails Thanks for looking Martyn
  10. If they got caught would they have herd amunaty
  11. Having built this ship the bulkheads are to narrow. I built mine up with thin stripes on the edge and then faired the bulkheads Hope this helps Martyn
  12. Sorry for the late response as I've had one heck of a year as I lost my mum last year and we have moved back to Kent to be near No1 son . I have attached some pictures for you to look at to show what I have been up to. Thanks again for the comments and likes . Martyn
  13. Hi Mike from another member from Suffolk. Welcome to MSW
  14. Hi all sorry I haven't posted for a while but life has certainly got in the way. But anyway back to the build. The guns have been fitted on the gundeck and the sides. I have made some lanterns and some weird sticky up things on the stern and fitted some wooden teeth things on the beakhead. Next job making the main mast . Stay safe all. Martyn
  15. Hi ,yes I can confirm that was the Warrior under the tarps as she was going through a refit and restoration at the time. They have added a cafeteria on the gun deck. I visited Warrior Victory and the Mary Rose in 2019 Martyn
  16. Hi all sorry I haven't posted for a while but life and stuff has got in the way. I have been slowly working away on the FD . I have finished the hull and have now put some details on the stern galleries and the sides. As I'm no good at carving I have used modelling clay to make the scary faces and strange fishy things and to make her look old and battered I have put some barnacles and clamy things on the sides. I need to find away of putting some smaller barnacles on the lower hull. Thanks for looking. Martyn
  17. There's certainly a lot of airfields around East anglia, I have three in a eight mile radius from me . Great Ashfield, Rougham and Rattlesden . Rattlesden is now a glider club, Rougham is surrounded by a large industrial estate but they still fly light aircraft from there and Great Ashfield is now a private airfield with a grass landing strip. There's still a few old buildings on the site but mostly falling down and neglected which is a shame. Martyn
  18. Wow thank you for the brilliant photos of your grandad . It's amazing that he was just up the road from where I live and 35 missions. I take my hat of to legends like your grandad. The model is now at the Rougham Tower Museum near Bury St Edmunds, well worth a visit if you're in the area. Thanks again Martyn
  19. Omg I think I will have to start saving. Love it
  20. Hi all . I have been a bit busy on the FD . The planking has been finished and sanded down. I was going to second plank the hull but I like the look of it as she is meant to look all beaten up. Next job planking the decks and capping the bulwarks. All the wood has been left over from all the other builds I have done so this has cost me next to nothing so far and quite pleased with the outcome. I'm not very good at carving so I plan to use modelling clay for the carvings so just wondering what the best one to use . Thanks for following Martyn
