I'll soon be starting an Airfix E-Boat build and already had some great help from people here, so I'm sharing some rather poor pics of my current collection of boats. Hope you like them.

A very nice collection Sean, you have some classics on show there. I love the Airfix rescue launch. That is really "the one that got away" from my stash.
Only one thing that is rather curious: You come up with a 1/72 collection and your call sign is 35th-scale............................Explain yourself Sir !
Cheers,
Julian

Thanks Gentlemen.

You've sussed me Julien. I have to hold my hands up and admit I'm normally found on another site within the Kitmaker network where I indulge my preference for modern armour such as Humvee's & Strykers etc in 1/35 scale. But like the beer drinker who occaisionally partakes of a fine wine, I too like to indulge in some of the other genres. I did the PT boat years ago just for a change and there is something about these small WWII boats that keeps dragging me back...they just look good! Funny thing is I never do WWII armour but I'm saving 1/48 for WWII planes eventually. Every now and again I really slip over to the dark-side and dabble with some sci-fi in any scale.

Here's my last 1/72 build, the Airfix MTB, which i did about a year ago:



And collecting the Airfix E-Boat on Sunday at the Irish IPMS National competition
