The Duke's Shipyards Launch a Ship in July

Post by Duke Maddog »

It's only the one ship, but it's also my 300th completed ship model in my collection, making this a small milestone all it's own.


This is the Trumpeter 1/700 scale HMS Westminster Type 23 Frigate:

Very nice work Mark! There is something about those “tin can” ships :hmm:

Thank you Carlos! I agree.

Thank you CB! Maybe I should, considering my entire navy is larger than the US Navy now! :giggles: :lashed:

Well done! What a milestone!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
