Nice to see Roberts bing built here. I spent a long weekend on one last targets recently. It is one of the 9.4"batteries on the map in Big Gun Monitors.


Thanks , I will be making the whole model of General Wolfe for RC . I need something of my own to sail at RC events .

Hi Richard,

Your appetite to build plugs is enormous! Yes, you are at the right source for the big RN monitors, Ian Buxton was the real authority on the topic. Sad he died a few years ago.

Again, I admire the stamina with which you tackle the business of creating good basic hull moulds! Again, if I can help you with anything, I will gladly do so.

Maarten

I started this many years ago but stoped because someone said the Profile Morskie plans were of . I have since looked into it and found the hull lines and superstructure are right . Here is drawings from the book " Big Bun Monitors ". These are the drawings that Profile Morskie used to make the plans of Roberts . Some of there plans might be off as to the right AA or raidar for the time period or other little thinks but a modeler knows to use dated photo's to show a ship at any time period .
This is the plug for Roberts in 1/96 . :wave_1:
