Many thanks to those Argonauts who recently helped me with details for converting an old Airfix HMS Leander model to Argonaut. Some conflicting advice (were all getting old and memory plays tricks) but I hope Ive caught the spirit of Argonaut as she was patrolling Falkland Sound in May 82. Ive taken some artistic liberties with the colour scheme, that overall grey was just too, well, grey, but apart from that Ive used all the tips you gave me and hopefully she looks like Argonaut. I added brass extra parts like brass handrailings and crew figures (you try painting a set of Number 8s on a sailor 2mm high!).I call this diorama Air Raid Warning Red. I semi-retired three years back and I now pay my bills through my modelmaking, so this little diorama goes up on auction on Ebay later on tonight. If you fancy her on your mantelpiece why not take a cheeky punt?
