Hi All,
I'm new to the Forum so please bear with me till I get my bearings.
As a "kit-basher" of 8 models completed, I have decided to "alter course" and have a go at scratch-building.
I am thinking of building a Leander class frigate, in particular a broadbeam, probably HMS Ariadne, as she retained her twin 4.5" turret throughout her service life.
I have seen some models of warships built to a scale of 1/72 and liked the look of them so I would probably go for that scale. I remember seeing "task force 72" in one of the model magazines and was well impressed ! (I think they are based somewhere in Australia)
Can anyone suggest a starting point ref plans, materials, research etc.. ?
I must emphasise that this is currently just an idea....am I being too ambitious ?
