Hi all,

This is the latest build. Its going slowly (as usual).

Here are some pics. It's all blue tacked together at the moment.

The deck masked and part painted:



Masking removed, it needs a bit of tidying up:







One day I might manage an OOB build but right now I have to mess around with everything, including this Sea Vixen.







I wasn’t impressed with the kit part for the main mast:



So I got out my scalpel and sand paper and after ten minutes I’d turned the kit part into this:






Actually... It's part of the WEM "Royal Navy Modern Ship Fittings 1/600" and well worth the money! The ordering was smooth and the well packaged parts arrived within a couple of days.



More pics to follow when I get some modelling time.

Nice work thus far, Murdo, what a difference a little brass makes, eh?
Keep the updates coming, mate!

Another great pice of engineering there Murdo will have to get some tips from you hopefully in April at Scot Nat

Wow, brass does indeed make a huge difference... cheers, looking good!

Hi all,

Here's an update on the Vicky.







Portholes drilled out and a couple of masts added.



Some scratchbuilt vehicles and crane



Hope you like it so far.

Nicely done Murdo,

Nice touches to the Victorious, the WEM set really makes a difference. Hope to see some updates soon.
