Thank's Mark,much appreciated.Very well done Ralph! .. I have always had a 'soft-spot', for ships! The last time I had a shot at one! was when I was about 18. A British, 74 gun, 'Ship of the Line'. How many weeks did I try to get the rigging right! even with the supplied 'Jig'. That was one of my greatest efforts! .......... Failed! Bloody good fun though!
I suppose this is when, I got my hands on my father's oil paint! and started to tinker with them.
Mark.
Thanks Roger,much appreciated.That looks very nice Ralph. I gave some thought to doing a bit of ship modelling myself as an at sea project but I doubt I'd be able to get a ship home in one piece. I'll stick to armour for the time being, they're a bit more robust.
Hello Mark.What kind of landing ship is that model?Is it LSM (Landing Ship Moses)?
Thanks Malc.much appreciated.Nice one Ralph, it looks excellent.

Thanks Mick,much appreciated.Just taken this to show a mate over the back as to how it should look, He did one last year first model his made in years, He lost half the smaller bits on the floor and those he did find were stuck in place along with carpet fluff. His model resembles more like what the ship looks like now. Error or cunning plan not sure.
Nice work.
Mick
Thank's Paul,much appreciated.Ralph that is terrific.
Iwandered over to the Maritime museum in Liverpool recently to see their model.
It's over 6 feet long, maybe more, but I couldn't see it.
Beautiful ship, beautiful work.
Paul
