some of the news ship models



I missed to take photos of the soon to be released Airfix 1/72 RNLI Rescue Boat and also the Accurate Armour Stand with the 1/76 Landing Craft models and the 1/35 IJN Ko-Hyoteki and Waterline X-Craft... and the WEM stand which had some of their products masterly built in showcases for our delight! Sorry mates

Gad that's some great work on display. Thanks VERY much for sharing. I couldn't even ID all those ships, let alone what kits they might have been made from. Call me biased but I really think that well made ships blow away tanks or planes on display like this.

Hi Rui Great feature thanks for the effort. As an aside I am not sure who is the youngest member of kitmaker.net but I know a member of Armorama callsign "mattyboy" is only 7 years old and makes 1/72 German armour and has recently graduated to 1/35 scale. Regards Sean
