Dave SW Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Greetings from SW Cornwall. Have been building models for all my life, latest is the 1:72 Ark Royal model that I recently displayed at Warwick International Model show and Alexandra Palace. Its a large model that has taken 26 yrs so far yet is still far from complete. hopefully I can share some of my tips and research as I develop the model and aircraft further. best rgds dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootneck Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi Dave and welcome to BM. There are quite a few ship model builders on here, from standard kit, to kits with aftermarket and full scratchbuilds; so you should find something of interest for you here. It would be great to see some photo's of your Ark Royal. All the best Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Macnaughton Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 There is a picture of the Ark Royal model on page 42 of the current Model Boats magazine - most impressive. I presume you need a spare garage to keep it in Dave?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hello Dave ... to Britmodeller from the USA. 1/72nd Ark Royal you say ? Do you have a lake in your yard ?😉 That sounds most impressive and I definitely look forward to seeing the build. Ive seen a 1/72nd Nimitz once and was totally blown away so an Ark Royal should easily blow my mind. 🤯 Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_c Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Welcome to BM Dave. If it's the same one, I saw your Ark at the recent model show at the Maritime Museum. Absolutely stunning mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian T Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Hi Dave, welcome to the forum. The photo problem is common, if you have a look in the FAQ section there is lots of help, written far more clearly than I could. I use Flickr and find it very easy, but each to their own. I’m looking forward to those pictures (I thought my 12 years to build a “plank on frame” Schooner was long enough!!). Regards Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave SW Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Hello Gents, sorry for the delay in getting active. I am not a fan of Flickr, in fact will not use it for various reasons. is there another method/ route to display images? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
