Excellent, Matt!

Yes, the fantail tub has been corrected. The updated design includes highly detailed 20mm Oerlikon ready service ammunition lockers for each tub.

Matt, please see PM.

Cheers!
Steve

Martin,

Unfortunately life has been a pretty big damper on model building, that and all the new Model Monkey stuff that keeps showing up :heh:

Ah, life. Always getting in the way of a good hobby!

Well, she looks fantastic, and I hope you get around to finishing her real soon. THEN you can start on WeeVee :)

Matt,

I picked up the MM grey resin parts and the Academy Indy to do Sweet Pea.

Question: what PE and what wood deck are you using?

Thanks!

Martin,

Has it really been that long since my last post?!? Geez, I gotta get building some day again. :doh_1:

Most of the PE uses up to this point has been spare parts, mostly from some old Classic Warship frets. I plan on using the GMM Indianapolis set to complete the rest of the kit. I have already used some parts of it on the forward mast, the SC Radar being a Tom’s product if my rusty mind serves me. The wood deck is Artwox type C sheet that’s been cut to shape and size. I usually don’t bother with wood decks on 20-B decks, but I wanted to experiment with it as the Sweet Pea was heavily weathered at the time I’m building her as. Wanted to see how it looked.

Thanks for the continued interest!

Matt

Don't know how I missed this build, I wish to build the USS Portland as well and try to afford the 3D parts as best I can

Wow... It has been yet another year since I have worked on this. It's still a very live project, just some advances in AM and other projects have kept it simmering on the back burner. I used Gen 1 Shapeways parts on mine, quite spendy and nowhere near the quality Model Monkey is able to produce in house now. I can't recommend his products enough and will very much enjoy finishing this build.

Look forward to seeing your build and hopefully getting back to mine in the next couple of months.

Matt
