Dave Wooley wrote:Hi Robbie thanks for your reply .I would be only too pleased to help send me a PM and we will go from there. As I said in my own reply your 45 build is superb but not just on the outside. Good to see you are progressing so well .My attention is now centered on the remainder of the ship but the interior of the bridge will need to be looked at very soon and for much the same reason as that required for the hanger space. The two RIB galleries are less of a problem but on the other hand they contain a considerable amount of detail, for example the space behind the RIB. OK I know the old argument of "out of site out of mind�. The question is if it�s there and partly visible should it be incorporated into the model and when do you call a halt to how much detail to add? Questions , questions but like you I really need more pictures .Although I was let loose time was the limiting factor otherwise I would have been there for a week. The Rivers batch 1s are an example I have spent a considerable amount of photo time aboard these vessels and I never get fatigued but have I all that I want , the short answer is no and I never will have :frown_2: .

Moving on with the fitting of the ventilation pipes within the hanger. These where all pre shaped and fitted, so the roof assembly could be removed and replaced until I was satisfied that all was well .
Here is the various shapes for the ventilation pipes, made from aluminum tube .
Image
The pipes to the rear of the hanger are fitted first and the roof assembly returned in due course
Image
This is where the easy removal of the entire roof is important as progress can continue with the pipes close to the hanger entrance and beneath the walkway on both sides.
Image
Image
Image
The roof assembly is refitted to ensure all is well
Image
The hanger space is easily lifted clear .
Image
All the rails are fitted into place
Image
Measuring and cutting the sprinkler system is straight forward fixing requires a still hand and I must confess my language through out this job was less than proper :big_grin: :heh:
Image
Each length of pipe work for the sprinkler system is fitted . On the port side the pipes are feed above the ventilation pipe work .
Image
To starboard they are beneath the ventilation pipes . Both feed into the larger bore feeder pipe to the rear of the hanger.
Image
Image
More to come air brushing the floor area now that was fun . There remains as yet many fittings and of course the lighting .

Thanks NorthSea You have hit the "nail on the head" yes they are ineed layers of detail but the big question with any attempt to incorporate such levels is not just how you manage the detail , as important as that is but more to the point when to decide enough is enough ?

Ron my friend you flatter me to much . The great man had a chance to examine the hanger on Sunday and I saw not one tinge of a tear so its plod on and do your best. To impress the great man sufficent to warrent a tear requires a model of extraordinary qualities :heh:

Hi Bruce good to hear from you and thank you . The one advantage you have is no matter what you do with the hanger on CGN-9 no one can offer any advice as to how it could be improved. It's your call :nod_2:

Hi Cliffy your comment are much appreciated . Perhaps as modern warships shed much of their "exposed" fittings then perhaps the model maker looks to other part of the ships such as the hanger that can offer some "sope" for modelling. :thumbs_up_1: :wave_1:

Song praise is praise indeed . I even took a picture with some of the fittings resting on the floor of the hanger all I need to create a diorama was pots of paint and figures in hard hats :heh: Song I look at your latest model and think of the many skills I have yet to learn :nod_1:

Did somebody already tell you you're barking mad? If not, I'm telling you: You're barking mad!!!

Couldn't look any more realistic apart from some people and dirt inside. A brilliant airbrush job as well, no sign of any imperfections nor uneven surfaces, and those pics are really taken up close!
My attempt at the Udaloy hangar looks like a 3-year old child's attempt at drawing a house with a backyard now, thanks!

I guess the ship won't do justice to the hangar :heh:

PS: my Visby has taken shape very rapidly, minor stuff to be done. :heh:

Neptune, I hope Dave will forgive me for off-topic question, but as you mentioned it here - is any chance to see photos of your Visby - may be there is a thread on forum already? I presume it is big scale RC thing and would be interested to see the model as well as from where you got the plans :heh: :heh: :smallsmile:

Cheers,
