I have the Lion Roar set to go with my Bismarck, but that will be a couple of years before i build that. I'd like to get a Scharnhorst as well, i'm thinking either the 40 or 41 kit. I look forward to seeing the Destroyer and Spee, i would like to add one of the Z ships to my collection.
I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Very nice work there BB.
Cracking job BB! You're really starting to look like a ship builder now, and just after 3 ships Before long, half of you ship will be after market items.

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Thanks guys. The KGV is coming along quite nicely and I am enjoying the kit. Other than a few mishaps with PE parts, she is turning out quite well.
Steve, as tehre is no end date as long as we have signed up before the 2 years is up, could you put me down for another modern British sub. Its the Bronco 350 HMS Vanguard SSBN. I am planning on doing it next year and it should be a nice little quickie build.
You got it mate, Bob's your uncle.
Continued build of the Flower Class corvette "Compass Rose" PE and Resin Depth charges, racks and dinghy from L' Arsenal. Also Eduard PE sets
Looks awesome Rob Keep it comming mate.
Well, I finally started on the KGV
I drilled out the port holes, however, I did not attempt to verify their accuracy:
A bit of Photo Etch to spruce her up:
Pontos wood deck:
Brass main and secondary guns:
And the plans to build her in her 1945 fit:
Hopefully, I'll get some done this weekend.

Excelent Bruce, looking forward to her.
Rob that Compass Rose is a real head turner. Like the wood deck on there and the detail on the lifeboat.
Bruce! I'm right behind you with a KGV. Will enjoy this and steal shamelessly as I gather build tips from you
In the pattern: Scale Shipyard's 1/48 Balao Class Sub! leaning out the list...NOT! Ha, added to it again - Viper MkVii, 1/32 THUD & F-15J plus a weekend madness build!
If either of you guys want to bin the kits Pom Poms, take a look here. Not a bad price and lot of cool stuff to spend the paycheck on. Shipping time isn't bad either, especially from France.

ha, You know they just went on their European vacation! Not back till the end of August. Good thing I don't need it right away. Might be a money saver for me though, no temptation to buy it. I'll just focus on out of box
Wow, a month long holiday. We in the US feel guilty if we take a week.

Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
GMorrisonThis is really fine modeling. I mean that sincerely.
I completly agree.
GM I'm looking forward to it.
Steve, awesome, I've been looking forward to this.
Rob,
This is some really beautiful work. I can’t wait to see more.
Thank you Steve for your comments. Now finishing up. The build is complete, awaiting some hull markings and a silk flag. Will then lightly weather.
Bill Thank you for your kind comments, you have helped so many of us!
Thats a stunning looking ship you have there rob, very nicely done.
Bish Thats a stunning looking ship you have there rob, very nicely done.
She looks like she's ready to do some escort duty.
Wow! Rob, she looks amazing. I'm looking forward to seeing how you do the weathering.
Weathering done of the Compass Rose, with weathering powders and a limited amount of oil paints. Still awaiting hull numbers and a plaque. Included is a copy of "The Cruel Sea" the wonderful book that inspired me to build this model.
That looks excellent Rob, do you want me to wait for the numbers to put up the pic?
Love the background.
Thank you! The background is part of my bookshelp where she will be displayed. I guess ill take the pic now if OK. I have been waiting months for the silk flag and hull numbers, not sure when they will appear.
Thank you all of your support!
Hi,
Your build looks really nice
