Many thanks for that, now why didn't I do that? It would have been cheaper, I have copied and pasted into my hobbies folder. I could not find any listed on their web site only decals already printed. Cheers.

I know it wasn't on their website.
From your photos I saw that you make beautiful work on boats and canons. Do you do lead soldiers as well?
My son made some a few years back.

I have not had a go at those, but seen pics in the English Mag "Hobby's". You can get all sorts of moulds with little fellas in different stances. Did think about puting them on my model ships but due to building in different scales it would be difficult to do, as I would need so many different size moulds.

Sorry I am unable to answer that as I sold it a couple of years ago and I do not recall the scale.

Well I had a great win on TM the other day and got 6 ringbinders of pics of warships and all the specifications of each on the back. As I was in the Navy way back, I have decided to make some models of warships. It turned out the chap I got these ringbinders from only lives about 5 klms away from my place and he builds RC warships so I am looking forward to a good old chin wag with him. I would only be interested in static displays. But there is still a lot of work in making them.

Well I have started my model of HMNZS Royalist, it will take about 2 years to build I estimate. So I intend this time to earmark a memory stick for my camera so I can take pics at the different stages of development. The scale is 1/16 inch to the foot. There is heaps of miniature detail, some may be to small to include, I will worry about that when the time comes. The ship was 585 ft in length with 8- 5.25 guns and pom-pom anti air craft guns as well. It was the last ship in our Navy to have hammocks. The Royalist was on loan to us from the poms.
