Things have been a bit slow on the hobby front this month but I've managed to add another 2 1/700 scale Liberty Ships to the Convoy (now 10 in total)
Watchers of the Monthly Update will recall a few months ago I picked up a large collection of model ships from a chap (Vincent Kennedy) who had sadly passed away and these are the first two that have been Yarkshire Gamerfied.
I wanted to keep the orginal model as much as I could, but weather and base them so that they fit in with the rest of the collection, there are another 4 merchants to work on so I hope to have those done soon as well. The number of ships in the collection I picked up, is a bit overwhelming but I've made a start and guaranteed that these models will live on a bit longer.
I'm guessing that they are the Trumpeter Models but some of the AA mounts are different which I'm guessing is a conversion.
I'm a bit behind on the Podcast as well but I'll get back in the swing soon.

What excellent additions to your collection.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks
DeleteLooking good. Do spill the beans on what the total collection acquired consists of.
ReplyDeletePS keep on podcasting - it's an invaluable aid in keeping me at the painting table. That and your painting advice, to 'just get on with it'.
Have a look at this video, shows the ships in full, 14 boxes of them ! https://youtu.be/hipj-_4xGuI?si=-KghyWb6UUdAJedZ
DeleteHoly Smoke Batman! That's a lot of ships!
DeleteVery nicely done indeed. Very tempted to expand my collection to the waves but too much to paint already!
ReplyDeleteAlways a nice change up, a bit of Naval
DeleteVery nicely done, almost enough to tempt me to start my own collection
ReplyDeleteNice work, Ken.
