Vosper 72'6" MTB 77 1/35 scale, produced by Italeri, built by me.


Recommended Posts

I did wonder what I'd let myself in for when this arrived on my doorstep, I really did underestimate how BIG it was going to be. My work bench is just about big enough for 1/32 aeroplanes.

But this was fun, and it was nice to be able to see the small parts with my eyes and not rely on a magnifying lamp.

It was a first of their size AND a first for me putting little people into a build, I used to be able to paint a half decent figure, but I'm not so good these days. So, please don't look too closely at the crew.

Many thanks to all who followed the build and offered advice and wisdom along the way. I have learnt so much from you all and hope I kept you entertained.

Really nice build, your detail work is excellent. I was a bit bothered though how it shows how poorly armed these early boats were. :(

Steve. Thanks.

I guess they relied on speed.
