A closer view of the midships. I hadn't realised how difficult it is to photograph white plasticard construction,my hat's off to those others here that have posted much better pictures than these.

Re: Scratch built Type 15 frigate
HOLY CRAP! Here's me looking at this and thinking "wow, really nice 700 scale build" and it turns out it's 1/1250??? Madness indeed....

Re: Scratch built Type 15 frigate
After a long break, due to other model projects,I finally managed to mould and cast this one. This is one of the first castings,finally assembled with etch I designed and drew 9 months ago...and wonder of wonders,it all fits! The model is less than 3.5" or 86mm long.
and with a lick of paint...
