This is my most recent finished build of the Dumas 78’ pt Boat, this again was bought to keep me from going insane during lockdown, however I had found myself finishing it in 4 days!, it was a good kit but some of the things supplied were poor so I did customise them to give that extra detail such as the torpedo tubes instead of using the vinyl sticker to wrap around to create the ribs, I used 0.5mm x 0.5mm styrene strip to give it a more better look, I did change the 2 bladed nylon prop for a much stronger 3 bladed brass one.

This is the RO-marine Najade motor yacht kit, this was something to keep me busy during lockdown, it is a nice kit but I thought it was going to take me longer but was finished in 10 days, I was not a fan of the sticker decking or the seating so I made my own real wood decks out of lime strip and made some cream leather seating.

This is my Arleigh Burke class destroyer DDG-81 U.S.S. Winston Churchill, this uses a hull from MTB hulls and a set of plans the rest is all scratch built, it is an ongoing project but should be finished within the next few months.

This was my first warship, a type 23 frigate HMS Argyll, this was a fleetscale semi kit, the model took me around 8 months mostly due to working full time, there are a few 3D printed parts on her to give those extra details, as for hardware I used 2 MFA 540 motors wired to a 20amp esc with a set of 2.4ghz 2 channel radio gear

This is my type 45 destroyer HMS dragon in 1/96 scale, it is a sirmar semi kit, the model took me 6 months to build, it did include some 3d printed fittings from Shapeways for a few extra details.

Hi everyone new to the forum today, have been doing model boats for a few years and have built some basic to some more time consuming models, from an aeronaut pilot boat to an Arleigh Burke class destroyer currently working on the Shirley Ann which featured in model boats magazine in 1988 designed by my uncle David Metcalf.

Hi Damen, I have particular interest in building HCS searcher and saw on a post from a year ago you had plans, just to ask do you know where I can purchase a set, would love to build one after I finish my Arleigh Burke class destroyer,
All the best
