So I couldn't get my hands on a Might Mo, so I will just do the HMCS Sackville. It is currently "stationed" in Halifax as a museum piece. Sadly, I didn't get a really good look at it before they moved it into winter storage.
It is a Flower/Gladiator class corvette, and I will use the 1/350 Mirage Hobby HMS Spirae as the base. Might order photo etch, maybe not.
The Sackville:
The Kit:
I will need different decals for the registration though.

Re: Help in Halifax
A little work done.
The parts are so small. Considering this cost the same amount as the 1/700 Tribal class from Trumpeter but is about 3 times the width and maybe twice the length, I am really happy with it.
I am going to leave most of the small parts off until I paint, then add them. Also the instructions show you where to put rigging, so I may try that.

Re: Help in Halifax
That looks to be coming along nicely! Keep it up....
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..
Re: Help in Halifax
I've never seen one of these kits built. The parts look excellent.
March as one, Don't look back

Unleash hell! Do not repent! Warfare grants us no lament
Let your weapons slash and tear This is no place for fear
Hold the lines! Move as one! In unity our victory's won
Our shields will form a mighty wall
United we shall never fall

Rigging..... have fun with that. I did my best with Mighty Mo.

Re: Help in Halifax
Spectacular little stopgap ships.
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting the head off a Hydra, two more take it’s place.

Re: Help in Halifax
Ok the building portion is done. Now onto the easy part... painting.
Yes paint WILL be easier than assembly because you can't break tiny paint. The parts are placed on the sprues in very silly ways making anything that is skinny instantly break. That is why the life boat launching arms are not on here. I broke all of them.
For a size comparison, that is just a regular xacto knife.

Re: Help in Halifax
You certainly got your model mojo back - cranking out the kits. I really like the looks of this class of ship. Coming along nicely.
Thanks,
John
