Thanks for the Compliments!

Brad--your model is FAAAAaaar to big for my liking...-I like my battleships about 8-13 inches long.....

BUT...

hats off to quality when I see it--really really sharp looking model!

Best wishes

Jim Baumann

Jim,
She IS awfull big... But my wife is REALLY good about helping me get it out of our basement- I'm hoping to take it to a local RC show in Toledo OH around the first of april- I'm sure I'll feel the pain then.

still trying to sort out the picture thing- these are of the SK-2 radar that I built up last night, trying to figure out how to apply the mesh to the inside... any suggestions anyone?

THanks
Brad

Hi Brad Your model at 1:96 is more the scale I'm comfortable with .Your SK2 reflector framework is a wonderful piece of work . is it PE ?
Dave Wooley

Dave,

Alot of the credit for that goes to my "girls" they did most of the solder work on it- But to answer your question- it's etched- I bought it from Tom's modelworks.

BTW I really love that build of yours- love the brasswork!
Brad

Hi Brad thanks for your kind comments. If I had the room and the transport I would have built Kiev at 1:96 . Incidently what is your power train . I built Tirpitz at 1:96 many years ago and used three 9.2v Pittman motors. I recon they were the best motors I've ever used in a scale model.
Dave Wooley

the pics aren't showing here not even when I click show picture don't know if its a problem on my end.

Photobucket tends to have downtimes occasionally, so if you can't see them now, come back at another time.

Another batch of pics guys- again I appologize for my pictures- for some reason, my camera doesn't work as well as it did- I'm trying to figure it out- so please bear with me.

This is the whaleboat installed:

They were the last two kits that I had from Masterpieces in minature- Please Jim- if you see this- MAKE MORE!!

Some pics of the main deck- with all the goodies installed- hawser reels, floater nets, 20mm etc...



Brad

Heres one of the seahawk airplanes- These are from John Haynes- I modified them by casting the canopies in clear:


and finally, one of the stern area- It too- is mostly done, just finished up the railings, and they just need to be painted.


Best regards
Brad

Hi Brad A magnificent and inspirational build . What type of timber did you use for the deck planking?
Dave Wooley .

Guys-

The Sk-2 Radar is finally finished- and installed (two weeks of fideling around!)

Almost there!!

A fantastically detailed build.
