looking good ,I think you have been at this for about 6 years,that is dedication ,when she is finished you will hve a model you can realy be proud of

thanks russ clark!

Its beginning to come together.
Whats left, guard rails, middle deck, a bit more on the electrics, and then the painting detail work
last bit of plastic work left are 4 more boat davits, some individual 25mm guns and sand bags
I think, with current funds crises (chrissy pressies first!), i am hoping for a march commissioning
photos to come (after dinner)

I am experimenting with the color scheme for the aircraft handling area, trying to recreate the cement covering.
not sure yet what I will do yet

I found a pete too!, want more, but no more funds for a month

sad face

any more update mate ?

thomas

oh hi!

not much lately, however the electrics are almost right now, its been a huge struggle.
The gun servos were dragging too much power, and also a lot of interference .
But i think almost sorted now.
money shortages too..............

however i hope a last run home is now do able

I hope to finish 3 months time

A snag

Ordered more deck planking, 4 mm wide

As you can see, if you count the strips, the new stuff wasn't 4 mm.............

have to wait for pay day for more now............(and thats 96 dollars down the drain)
crap.

Try these guys I got my planking from them http://www.modelshipyard.com.au/timbers ... /limewood/

Lime wood strips 4mm x 1mm x 950mm $0.86 each I ordered from em and it turned up in less than 7 days.

Cheers Bruce

still looking good mate .. pm back ..

thomas

Your build is magnificent!

thanks for comments

waiting for new strips, which will have to be on next pay day.
2 lost week ends of work

in the mean time, a few more photos, just to retain enthusiasm

shes looking great mate ...

Looks nearly finished, although I know it's probably missing a lot of small detail. Anyway looks great! Love the overview and the shot overlooking the forward deck! Good luck with finishing her!
