After finishing most of the furniture for my new flate, I found time to progress with HMS Rose. I am working on the 9-pounder mountings. They consist of two stretched sprues as axis and two 0,125 mm thick polystyrene plates. I was not able to cut this plates - I need 40 of them - to the same size. But Burkhardt Masch produced for me a puncher.

Here the puncher:



Here the punched plates for the mountings:



And here the mountings of the starboard battery:

I can report some small progress. I finished all 9 pounder mountings and painted them red brown.





Here a comparision of the size of a 24-gun ship of 1740 with a modern Arleigh Burke Flight IIA destroyer - USS Mustin (both 1/700):

The forecastle and the quarter deck are complete:



Both decks are made from 0,5 mm thick plastic sheet.

OMG and it still has to be rigged!

[kennylibben]

Any updates?

I haven't seen Maxim on for nearly a year...

[maxim]

Any updates?

No

I have not found time to finish her. I can only hint to some other models:

Roman scout ship and Saxon galley

Protected cruiser USS Chicago

Italian missile destroyer Andrea Doria

Japanese heavy cruiser Takao

British missile destroyer HMS Glamorgan

Spanish armoured cruiser Infanta Maria Teresa

I think you deserve a big punch up your nose for leaving us like that.


However, given the quality and quantity of that work I guess I can excuse you! Great job on all of those, really impressive (although a bit strange that you didn't give us any notice of this, I'd be very happy with a write up on that Andrea Doria of yours! I'm sure the small scale modellers would love any topics like that!!!!

Great job, congrats with those Roman galleys too! So what are you currently working on?

[kennylibben]

love the Takao!

I've followed your work on Modellmarine.de, so I knew you were busy! Very nice models, and I can't wait to see HMS Rose finished.

[maxim]

I can't wait to see HMS Rose finished.

Tja, there are currently following unfinished models at my desk: Capitana (Maltese galley, 1700), HMS Rose (24 gun ship, 1740), USS Baltimore, USS Olympia and USS Raleigh (all protected cruisers, c. 1898), USS Brooklyn and USS Maryland (both armoured cruisers), SMS Albatross (cruiser minelayer, 1914), Leipzig and N�rnberg (both light cruisers, c. 1941), Moskwa (Russian missile cruiser, c. 2005), Kongo, Takanami and Atago (Japanese missile destroyers, c. 2008). Therefore I don't know, when Rose will be finished.

[kennylibben]

well feel free to post any of your others!

[maxim]

There is some small progress:

[kennylibben]

Glad to see you getting back to it!

Still looks great, can't wait to see some more details!
