Hi all.

Associate member part 2

Now this is a bit different as the build here is not mine. It's my youngest grandson's. He and his brother have accompanied me to the last 4 shows I have been to, and Carter (the youngest) has entered a couple of classes for new/young entries at the last 2 shows ...

i boobed by placing Jervis complete here Sorry.

HMS Jervis joins the fleet.

The final chapter.

Zhong Shan Gunboat.
Bought this kit not for the subject but for the size & price ie:- not too big not too expensive and close to 1/144 (actual 1/150) Found a small amount of useful information and a few photos on the internet so something to work from. I also purchased after seeing the kit a wooden ...

RNLI Type B Lifeboat. Atlantic 85
