moose1512 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 First time posting on this site. HMCS Vancouver built using the 1/144 Revell Corvette detailed with Eduard PE, L'Arsenal and Shapeways. The rails are JR Haynes 1/96 3 bar cut down into 2 bar and wire....they look the part and are much better than the Eduard PE which allowed flexibility after the RCN mods. Thanks for looking 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitzer Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Great looking Corvette Moose. Great looking display and the weathering looks spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robgizlu Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Moose - Congratulations - that is a Cracker. Lovely conversion job on the aft pom pom and searchlight tower. Super job on the Whaler and davits (Shapeways I presume??) How did you find the L'Arsenal products? The railings really work - thanks for the tip - I'll be getting some of them and nice work on the panther decal (need one of them for HMCS Eyebright). And finally very nicely rigged and presented - Fab to see such a well built 1/144 Corvette - and Welcome to the site BTW!!! Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Cracking presentation of a lovely subject Welcome to the forum I look forward to seeing your next offering. AS Rob said I'd like to hear what you think of the L'Arsenal bits. Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moose1512 Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 Thanks for the comments....the L'Arsenal detail set was great and highly recommended for quick detailing ( the 20mm Oerlikons are amazing). The Eduard stuff was good for what I used, but limited from set 1 and 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev The Modeller Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Lovely build, so clean superb detail. I can just see the film Cruel Sea running before my eye's a firm favorite of mine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Gunthwaite Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Great work Moose! I am gathering components to build this. Is it the 1/96 scale etch 3-bar stanchions that you used? I can see there would be advantages over 2D flat etch rails. Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure luck it scaled out based on the the kit/eduard rails. I used 2 different gauges of wire for the pipe railing and a little thinner for the rope rails, but not sure what gauges. Big fan of your 1/72 RN figures. Cheers Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Gunthwaite Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks Ryan (embarrassed) I can't of course say what I working on now (because I should be spending time refining the dark arts of 3D design)...but there's no decent crew available in 1/144 scale.
