Hi H - Another cool workshop and ever said they were messy either 🙊 but as an example of what I meant - Is that a Hammerlund 180 in the lower right?

I do enjoy all of the shared pictures of our models, and especially the close-up details. I've picked up many tips there. However, I admit I also carefully examine the photographs backgrounds which betray nakedly, our workshops and workbenches.

Really nice job. Love the detail bits I know how much work goes into them. The 3D stuff looks great.

I use a mix of PE, own scratch, resin and 3D printed fittings if they're available. the Chaff launchers on this one are 3D printed. https://scalewarship.com/ are good for fittings for the type12. I'm doing mine as the Rothesay

I know the hms Agincourt I was on it in uk a couple of times in 1966 when we did a NATO cruise hit Plymouth, liverpool and then did rest of Europe n sea exercises with Agincourt I’m not sure what that type was I think I have a pic or two. F25? I’m guessing it had open gun mount n bridge was not like ours. They had rum we had Coca Cola a little swapping worked well.

My DE in 1:96 for rails ordered from Tom’s model works. I 3D the doors, guns, ASROC, bits, anchors, small boats, heli deck nets and side fins. I found sailors on some kids n did eBay sailors too. There is so much out there pay or free for 3D. Once you have a file you can adjust its scale Or play with it. I would try to find online free stuff. The printer is about $300-$600 and reels are $25-$30. I tried 3D rails but they didn’t work I used brass or plastic rod as rail support as t is very fragile. Loved doing the 3D I used my grandsons printer he loaned me.

i have just started to build a type 12 frigate, i would like to build it as either HMS Plymouth or Falmouth, i purchased a couple of the metal etch kits for it ures showing the completed part, i'm now begining to wonder if 3d printing these parts might be a better idea? Has anyone done any 3d printed parts for the later type 12?
