Hello everyone ive been a modeller for quite some time , began around age of eight and have just turned 70, i model most genre's but in recent years i have been modelling after collecting many of the old missile and space kits i could not afford to but back in the 60's many are as old as me , i volunteer at the Townsville Maritime museum where i fix exhibits that get broken and i build stuff the curator deems necessary i have a huge kit sanctuary that i will never build but starhely i keep buying even more ! ill post some pics of my work in the future , in the meantime here are a couple of 1/700 WW2 Dutch Cruisers the De Ruyter and the Java i completed for a local museum curator as a favour , cheers

Thanks for the welcome chaps , in answer to whether 1/700 is my favorite scale the answer is no it is not , these were done as a favour and are my first 1/700 ships completed... ever , its a good job you cant inspect them closely ! they are not that great , i shall post some images of my builds when i get some time , i model for me and against me i try to equal or better no one but me i model because i love it ! if that makes sense cheers
 
The story of the early battles around the Java sea are tales of great courage against overwhelming odds. The navies of 4 nations attempted to stem the flow of Japanese invasion with few resources and little coordination. Bravo Norman! Your Royal Dutch ships are very well executed, Suh.
