HMS Prince of Wales sunk on the 3 days after  pearl harbour
HMS Hood sunk may 1941 after a brief encounter with the Bismark
HMS Repulse sunk with the Prince of Wales, the front lest barrel is missing....wife moved the model while i was away and lost it
HMS Iron Duke bombed  scarpa flow 1939, then ran aground, acted as depot ship for the rest of the war
The Graf Spee sunk at the batlle of the river plate
a random tanker



various British bits of kit, both the jag and the tonka are the same scale 1/48, the rest are all 1/72 scale





the carrier and the 2 big battleships the battleships are  1:400,  the carrier 1:572 it just shows you how much bigger the carrier is...scary...the bulk of the carrier is so impressive. Closest is the USS Saratoga then HMS Vanguard and finaly HMS Prince Of Wales

Nice pics Sulky.  I used to make a fair few "back in the day" . I only ever did one small cruiser, boy that was tricky!  I avoided ships from then on I'd like to make some models again some day.  How long did the big battle ships and Carrier take?

both big battleships a couple of weeks each, the carrier was bought 50% complete off ebay, it took 2 weeks to correct the errors and finish
