HMS NORFOLK F230 TYPE 23 FRIGATE 1/72 scale SEMI STEALTH SHIP

[langy71]

Is anybody aware of another type of language i can use to describe this ? cause the English one we use hasn't got enough words to say how brilliant this is...
it goes to prove that folk who build 'out of a box'..(myself included) are merely 'assemblers' and anybody that can do this from scratch is a 'modeller...'

Also after seeing this i'm gonna throw all my box kits away and take up crocheting.....

[boatman]

Fabulous! Is that all scratched or did you have some sort of kit to start?

HI DAVE I just bought the hull from fleetscale in grp 6ft long by 8" beam an all the rest is scratch build except the merlin helo which is a 1/72 kit fitted with working rotars thanks for your comments

Chris, both you and Gregg are true scale model builders.

...and all we have to cope with is a bit of poxy, ready made plastic in a box! Along with bits of paper showing us how to put them all together.

My admiration knows no bounds..... :thumb2:

AN Ron cheers for your comments as well much appreicaited

Fantastic build that.....apart from the work involved I find it Unbelievable that you can stay focused for three years on one build.....above and beyond in more ways than one!

MANY THANKS Tim yes there is a lot to do on these ships but im like you guys in some ways as I build each part one at a time over the three yrs period so its all little models all goin to be fitted on to make the main model over the yrs so for me the time passes so quick when im doin this type of modelin so three yrs hardly noticeable so easy to stay focused on the build for me anyway
