Leon - Many moons ago you and I had a late night chat about landing craft, and you alluded to a "large box of resin LC masters" that was about the office somewhere.
Has that box ever turned up? And is there anything in it that might part us from our cash if it was coming out of a mould ? Looking for a Soviet DB craft.
Hmm, I can't recall that one? I think the only other master we've had done over the years is a small Higgins-type craft, but it wasn't a great model and probably needs redoing from scratch. There are a few things like this which might be 3D printing options these days, if we can find a suitable design somewhere. I've got some plans on this front later this year, but we need to do a few experiments first!
Being rectangular boxes they are easy enough to scratch build. got quite a few done in 15 and 6....
Two things here. One, I have a self built flotilla of Corvettes, gunboats, patrol craft and LCs. The Sunray Shipyard is knocking out Soviet PG 117s and a list of back orders. (Did the Aircraft Carrier?) The Sunray construction unit is .....building an island based on Wake.
The DB is not a hard build, and I think I know a shortcut. Only so much time in the day.
Secondly, with a range of these models now available in larger scales (Barrage Miniatures) etc, It would be prudent to expand the 10mm "sea vessel range" in resin for the many who don't scratch build.
Look forward to later in the year developments Leon.
