HMS Surprise (Mamoli 1/75)

[Bill C]

A couple of weeks int this kit build, and I’ve noticed some photos relating to images and detailed text for this model. Mine has nicely cut parts but the accompanying text and non-scale drawings are very hard to follow. Does anyone have anything that would help?

HMS Surprise 1/48 scale built by neptune

This is a re posting of a build that I did some years ago, I hope you enjoy it, I started this build a while ago and had to put it aside due to circumstances, the start of my previous log was lost during the big crash last year, then all my other photos were lost when my own PC crashed, so...

Hi Bill, I'm building the Surprise in 1:48 by ZHL. Not sure if you are after more info for the Mamoli build, or more detail of the actual Surprise.

If the later, then as well as "The Frigate Surprise" this book has been fascinating and indispensable:
English Man-of-War

This has been very inspiring but well beyond my skill level:
The Art of Shipmodelling
