davepb Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hi, with the forthcoming detail set coming from Atlantic models, I'm working on the Frog kit of HMS TORQUAY, but I want to bring her up to her appearance when in the 2nd Frigate Squadron (two seaside resorts per week!). Looking fo drawings/ photos especially the after deckhouse, where the classroom was! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TallPaul Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 I'll send you a couple of photos when I have a working scanner. My first ship way back in '73 as a baby stoker. Saw a lot of seaside resorts but didn't visit that many. Did Gib, Antigua, Grand Bahama and Florida so can't complain. Stuff that may help, funnel was taller than other ships of class, Green decks, if memory serves there was a garden bench behind the classroom looking astern over the mortar well for a while. Think ships boats were blue over white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davepb Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Those were the days! Second Fr****ng Squadron. Spent quite a lot of time in the classroom getting people through their NAMET! Look forward to seeing your pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
