HMS Cornwall ,kit by Trumpeter ,scale 1/350 with 3D parts from Micro master and Black Cat Models ,photo etching from Eduard .I have waterline the hull and reinforced the hull with thick plastic card. Masts replaced with brass ,the kit ones would have been too fragile for all the rigging. The funnels are from Mircomaster and are just superb. Also wooden deck added and the both Walrus are from Black Cat Models. All that's left of the kits mast is the middle part of the mast ,yes I drilled holes for the brass rod to fit into the plastic part this gave it strength.

This is just a place keeper at present but I'm planning on starting on this in the near future. With the Centurion AVRE 99.9% complete and the Scammell Commander 80% complete and the diorama base to be built I decided that I needed a reason for the Scammell and Centurion display to have some context/story so enter stage left a Trumpeter T-62 with the idea of having it knocked out/abandoned possibly part blocking a road, I'm not planning a totally destroyed burnt out vehicle. Pictures of the box, colour/marking instructions and a very full box of sprues This is now on the bench so there should be an update in the not to distant future....................... Thanks for stopping in your time is appreciated Roger

Another small armour finish but this time Trumpeter's Challenger 2 from in early Op Telic spec so no additional turret armour. This is for one of my colleagues that was in Iraq and had tanks from the KRH at the same camp that he was stationed (I'm also doing 2 Warrior 510's for him as well). I think its a nicer kit than the Academy Chally 1 I made a few month ago but why did it have to have vinyl tracks rather than plastic sectioned track, but not as nice as the Meng kits. Painted with Tamiya acrylics and weathered with Flory dark dirt wash and Mig Ammo powders. Trumpeter got a few details wrong, such as the IFF panel should be aluminum rather than white and the bottom track rubber skirt was unpainted. Hopefully someone (Meng) makes a later Telic spec that includes the turret armour or a Op Herrick spec with all the ECM fit i.e "Megatron" at ATDU.

This model was begun in 2008, at my Brothers House. I distinctly remember his cat (mind you, nice enough fellow) jumping up onto the table, and knocking over the bowl with the sanding water in it... It's done now. Another escapee from the SHELF of DOOM!! i re-staged the model on a dimensionless base, with wheel chocks.... for extra gravitas. Lets just say for the sake of imagination, that the plane flew out to California for evaluation at Edwards AFB. This is a pretty good kit, with very little in the way of traps or vices that would hinder the build. I also appreciate the omission of the machine gun rivets that blight the 48th scale version. For my next Shelf of Doom candidate.... perhaps a De Havilland Sea Hornet. Message Ends.- 53 replies

I have just finished a small Admiralty Steam Drifter (completed photos to follow), so its back to the RAF, and another stalwart from the early war period. I could build yet another Beaufighter, but the Wellington attracts as a good subject, with a kit in 1/48 that needs a tiny bit of work. The kit is, of course, Trumpeter’s 1/48 scale Wellington IC, first released in about 2006, and my chief reference, apart from what I will be able to find online, is the the very nice 4 plus monograph on the Wellington. I don’t promise a fast result with this build, as there are a number of things about the kit which need to be sorted out, and I will have some other things on the go while it is being built. But there is space on the workbench right at the moment, so I will try to get the difficult bits done before other projects intrude.

My latest project: the 1/72 Trumpeter Harbin H-5. The Harbin H-5 was an unlicensed Chinese copy of the Ilyushin IL-28 Beagle. The most significant difference from the Beagle is the tail turret, which was copied from the Tu-16. The Trumpeter kit is one of their first and is supposedly a modified copy of the Bilek kit. I've started with the pilots to fill the empty cockpit. I've also jumped ahead in the build sequence to the engines and wings. The fit is mediocre, and I want to avoid having to use a ton of putty by carefully filing and test-fitting.

Hey everyone, Here we go again, the South Wiltshire shipyard never sleeps! This time a pair of Tribal Destroyers (yes, that manufacturer) aiming to end up looking something not dissimilar to HMS Eskimo and HMS Ashanti on the Pedestal convoy as part of my wider project. This kit is wild inaccurate guns, incorrect torps, incorrect small boats etc. I won't be going overboard on there, only stopping to correct the glaring issues (Forepeak, guns and boats mostly... things like vents etc are not a huge worry to me). I won't lie, I'm drawing a fair measure of inspiration from @beefy66 and his Eskimo build on this one... Classic box art One of these hulls, the foreground, has had a space wedged intoa gap between the portholes to encourage a more correct posture for the front end of the vessel. The other will follow suit (I was going back and forth and while it's a lot of sanding it is a good idea to sort it out) Manic day at work, but will see you all later. Cheers GP -

I finished this one a few weeks ago, just now getting around to an RFI. Here’s the WIP The was my second ship build, my first of a big ship with Eduard PE, Pontos deck and 3D printed weapons. It was a great learning experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’m very happy with the result; it’s not a perfect model and it’s not a perfect HOOD but I like it- 33 replies
