Jack12477 Posted September 6, 2018 Share #881 Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Yes, but Ireland since 1922 or maybe 1938, has it's own Navy (or more precisely - "self Defense Force") with their own ships. designated LE or Long Eireannach, example LE Samuel Becket P61. BTW, Carl, if I remember my history correctly, RBN includes Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland only - it does not include the Republic of Ireland.

Carl, don't want to hijack your group build log so I will keep it brief. Here's a link to a little info on the History of Irish Navy. Also I'm trying to find other information but I did find this one model of an Irish OPV (Offshore Patrol Vessel) L.E Roisin. Other than this I haven't found any models; still researching the history also. Here's a link to photo of finished model.

cog Posted September 7, 2018 Share #887 Posted September 7, 2018 Thanks Jack, but I can't get to the History of the Irsih Navy - seems to be non existent - or they don't like Dutch ... (or just me :huh: ) The ship ... I just find modern ships ugly, squarish, and lacking any form but for CAD and the D should read "development" instead of "design" as design has something of creativity in it ... so ... not much chance of an Irish build there ... lmagna, Canute, Old Collingwood and 3 others 6 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

cog Posted March 1, 2021 Share #899 Posted March 1, 2021 Kevin, you can, it just takes time. HMAS Vendetta is quite doable, the larger ships are a different matter as there are so many repetitive actions, e.g. making 28 tripple AA guns of a 32 parts gun. Getting older has it's problems too, because you get headaches more easily from staring at those minute pieces, but if you take a break at regular intervals, again it should be doable.
