I take the opportunity to introduce myself around here because I am now the proud builder of a ship, the Dragon version of HMS Sheffield to be precise. Naval terms are totally alien to me so you will have to excuse the fact that I don´t know the rear-end of a ship from the front. I normally do figures & vehicles but the Sheffield was a gift for my birthday & the only other ship that I have done was USS North Carolina when I was 7 years old, didn´t even paint it. Now with a lot more practice with photo-etch & few more years practice I think it´s turned out as a nice result. I´ll get the photos that I´ve already taken posted on this same topic title as soon as I can because I´m no computer whizz-kid & I don´t really have much time. See yáll soon. EERRR no I won´t I´ll post it on the carpenters thing!!!!

Thanks everybody,I do like the look of the Invincible Rui. I´ve got the feeling that the wife prefers the ships so we´ll just have to see when Christmas comes.
