NeOmega,s Dog boat. The NeOmega kit is a beauty but by goodness you sure need steady hands and a nice pair of non ping tweezes as there are a lot of miniature parts. I started by marking the deck with a needle point using the supplied template before then adding the brass deck detail parts. After lo...

Two of my grandsons accompanied me to their first model show this year (Northern Model Show.) They loved it.

The fun continues or not. Sent to Sovereign Ensign for four tins of enamel paint. The P&P charge was £8.50! however I got an email from them asking if I wanted to go ahead with the purchase as the 2 quotes they had from couriers was £25 from Amazon or £13 from Parcel Force. Order cancelled. Foun...

Nicely done Mike. I like how you got the Ukrainian colours on. I also got some of those Hobbycraft bases you mentioned. Hope to have the HMCS Oakville ready for Northern Model Show (Yacht Club)
