Not the Bristol but Glasgow, from the same Class.

@Chenhao: light cruiser (4800tons) but British, not Japanese

:wave_1:

Nicely done!

Sharp looking build.

I really like your model. I've saved the pics on my computer as a reference!

Pretty clean?
Light cruiser? Japan?
:woo_hoo:

Thanks all,

@ Pieter, the gunshield are in wood (hard enought, no balsa), the barbette is a cotton bud.
I fist cut a "square" at the good lenght, width, height, and then sanded required area (had plenty of time, waiting for low tide so I could fish a poor dozen prawns :wink: )

Elegant cruiser & clean work

:thumbs_up_1:

Nice. How did build do the gun shields?

Thank you, I've got some other finished model (only destryers) I'll try to post soon!

I don't know if this model is accurate or not, but I can tell you I find this build terrific ! :thumbs_up_1:

An unusual subject!- good to see scratchbuiding in small scale also!

Hello all,

This should be my first picture post if I can make it...
Here is [i]some kind of[/i] HMS Bristol, one the "Towns" cruiser serie.

It is absolutely not accurate as I drew my own plans using pics and general knowledge of the ship's size.
I used, wood, paper, staplers, a bit of styrene sheet (boats),...
The more funnels, the more I like them :wave_1
