Just thought I'd post some pics of my latest effort. The Type 23 frigate HMS lancaster. It's one of the latest offerings from White Ensign models in 1/350th scale.









I still have the rigging to do and change the position of the rear window on the Merlin. I completed the railings after these photos were taken as I didn't notice some were missing DOH!

Don't know much about ships but it looks good. Like the mini-Merlin on the helideck.

Any idea of class it is, not a Leander is it? Good model by the way.

This is probably a stupid question, but does it float? I.E. Could you keep it in a goldfish tank?

Doubt it as the hull is almost solid resin. But then who knows.

Unfortunately, no-one does a Type 42 in 1/350th. I do have a Type 45, which will be put on the stocks for building soon.
