1/72 HMS Iron Duke - Type 23 Frigate

[Tworrs]

While waiting for "stuff" to arrive, I have epoxied the deck down to the hull, filled all the screw holes, sanded, and given both a couple of extra coats of primer.
I have also picked up some paint for the hull, but unfortunately my local (20 miles away) model shop only had 17ml bottles, so once I have decided that the colours are right I'll have to source larger size bottles.

That appears to be a very small spirit level ... wonderful bit of down-scaling!

Thank you Chris, no the "glass" in the bridge has yet to be fitted, along with a hang of a lot of other stuff.
I don't believe that this can even remotely compare to your builds, but I do bear in mind that you have been doing this for a very long time, but I'm doing the best that I can.
