Hewy Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Maybe soft white, which has a yellow tinge for the main lights, how were the real vospers lit kev, wall lights? Or ceiling? This will be fun Glynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know what was out there and I didn't what brilliant white. Well the Sparkys have been in .... and the Goblins have been in with a crop of radiological stuff The fascia s are from Airscale Etched Cockpit detail sets in 1/32 & 1/48 picked up in Telford some years back with this in mind. I'm calling this done bar touching up and some window dressing to be added....... Thanks for looking in Kev 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courageous Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Now that looks pretty neat Kev. Just one question if I may. What's keeping all this delicate equipment from bouncing across the shack when it hits the first bump in the sea? I'll get my Stuart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I can assure you Kev, they would've secured it some way, and as you say, most probably on some shock mounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gremlin56 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 The radio shack looks like I could sit down there and call home just like when I was at sea. Stuart does have a point though, the radios would have been secured in some fashion (On the suppliers and tugs I sailed on either secured to the bulkhead, fasten down with a metal strap or fitted to a frame that angled backwards. All of these in combination with rubber dampers underneath the equipment). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 Window dressing completed ! I've added the clock complete with brass bezel and mahogany back. Illustrations of the signal flags that I believe were in use at that time. Signal pad and pencil, Mug and head phones. Radio spares in a packing case. Riveteers please note as per health and safety...... It's secured to two ring bolts firmly bolted through the bulkhead Next came the split doors into the alley way. Vent louvres form by drawing onto foil laid on a cutting mat, gives a good impression if you'll pardon the pun This gives the idea of what's viewable through the side. Difficult to capture on a pocket camera but you get the idea. The addition of LEDs will increase viewability.... Again difficult to capture. I'm leaving the cut away like this until I get a better idea of the view when the cut away wheelhouse is in position. Hope you approve of my Radio Shack and do bear in mind this is buried in the bowels of the vessel Thanks for stopping by Kev 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading this a number a scenarios present themselves A/ I knew they had gagged/substituted you, you've been far to pleasant! B/ The therapy is working, not so good C/ You're feeding the drugs to the pot plants Welcome back oh tentacled one. May I ask a personal question? Could you give me an idea how many extra appendages / whips you have? You can see where this is going ...... just how fast do I have to work?

longshanks Posted November 3, 2017 Author Share Posted November 3, 2017 Just to prove bits are moving ..... I wasn't happy with the planking particularly the inside planks I had going the wrong way The frames in the middle flank a porthole Forming up the frames/settee. Problems caused because the thickness of the planking is around 1" (25mm) around 0.7mm not 2/3mm as per the kit. Locker/wardrobe added The oval shape piece on the cushion is a lid for locker behind the seat back. Birds eye. Quarter circle top left shack is basin in heads Thanks for looking in Kev 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
