Splash’s Fathers LST

Select the most rubbish kit in your stash, one that probably has no other chance of seeing a workbench, and build it however you wish - and have fun doing it along with others likewise occupied.

My work bench is starting to look like Portsmouth Naval Dockyard.

Those small vehicles actually look very decent. I'm wondering what your going to do about stars, flags and serials?

That’s a very good point I hadn’t thought about. I might have to cover them in tarps :lol:

Those things are really going to make this look even more amazing. Keep up the great work, Alan.

6mm = 1/285 scale used in war gaming

A change in plan, now I have a surplus of deck load I have decided to open up the nose and mount it on a beach with tanks coming out of the front.

So as you can see I now have an angry looking LST.

A change in plan, rather than a cop out. I knew you had it in you. Everything you do in modelling breathes excitement.
I'm looking forward to your next instalment!
