Definitely will watch once you will start your own build log. It is always amazed me what you can archive with cardboard! Many thanks for sharing! Just in case you ever wonder, we have a build log of Mercury from Shipyard, made by one of our member @Bonden

HMS Mercury, 1:72, Shipyard [COMPLETED BUILD]

I think it's not boring to show the construction of a second Shipyard Mercury here. I'm building this model since February 2014. However, every year is a long break, from April or May to September / October I prefer to enjoy the nice weather outside. :cool: But now, when the evenings are getting...

Good luck!

I built their HMS Alert. Built it out of the box and just added a wood planked deck and a ship’s boat. Well designed kit. Some of the small assemblies were kind of tricky compared to a wood kit.

I have both kits also in my stash. They are really nice
