Hi Guy,
Are you going to have a go at the larger 1/72 Corvette kit at some point?
If you want some model ship inspiration take a look for Phillip Reed model shipbuilder, there are about 8 short videos on youtube, each one showcasing a different ship built from scratch. Truly amazing stuff.
Best wishes,
Dave
Thanks Dave, I’m not sure I quite fancy the 1/72 one as it’s a very old moulding now, but in that scale you could really go to town on it!
I’ll check him out, always on the look out for inspiration!
That is some beautiful work! Almost tempts me to step out of my winged comfort zone and build a ship... almost 
Great stuff.

Thanks Brad, your builds are always stellar so I’d love to see what you could do with a ship. Sometimes I find a change in model types is like starting a new hobby - and it renews all my old enthusiasm again. I’ll probably build one or two then go back to wings again!
Like others I also love ships but make very few. That said I have just bought a Trumpeter 1/350 scale HMS Dreadnought in pre-WW1 mode. Your corvette is a good motivation to begin that project.
Yes, I love the old dreadnoughts. I think Flyhawk do a lovely brass set for the Trumpeter HMS Dreadnought, again not cheap, but they ooze quality!
I do also think a change improves my skills as I’m forced to try new things/ methods that I wouldn’t have done before!

Ps the SMS Lützow is progressing - although it’s a whole new ball game in 1/700!
