Really great work, Alan, your tiny Scimitars have nicely filled that landing craft, which in itself is an excellent small scale ship build.

I’m about done on the Landing Craft so it’s time to plod on with the main build.

Those Scimitars turned out really well. Your added details like that and the Sea King are making this a standout model.

An excellent pair of landing craft, Alan and the one pence coin tells me all I need to know about their size, that is a great piece of modelling!

Those are cool Alan, they really add to the look of the landing craft.

Nicely done!

You don't really need them because your Scimitars look good as they are, but if you get the itch to upgrade sometime, Shapeways has some 3D printed 1/600 FV107 Scimitars that look very nice.

Thanks for the link.

They do look great but a tad expensive for my penny pinching budget :ha: :ha: :ha:

Beautifull Fearless. Nice work designing the Seaking and the Scimitars. Top drawer!
