1:350 HMS Warspite (1942)
Mister Surveyor replied to Rob 1's topic in Ready for Inspection - Maritime
It really does look the part - an excellent representation, well done! -
Lovely modelling, Jorgen!
-
Agree with that, excellent paintwork and a good looking ship, I've been fascinated by this ship since seeing it in a Blue Peter Annual in the 60's (or 70's)

Some lovely work there!

RAN late 1930's Diorama
Mister Surveyor replied to Forlornhope's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
Had a search but couldn't find the turret code for Sydney, my guess would be SD. Surprisingly few aerial photos of her. -

Lovely neat work, those rudder PE bands, any idea what they're for? -

24 (Racehorse) class "Fleet Sweeping" sloop - model options?
Mister Surveyor replied to Ed Russell's topic in Maritime WWII
I'd fancy one of those... in a largish scale -
USS Alabama walk around
Mister Surveyor replied to ancient mariner's topic in General Maritime modelling chat
Another one I need to see.... and the hardware next to it. Slight pity they enclosed it in a wet dock from a photo point of view, but I suppose this helps with the preservation -
RAN late 1930's Diorama
Mister Surveyor replied to Forlornhope's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
I thought the war in the Pacific was over. I would put it down to realistic battle damage, looks repairable, and thankfully Sydney is intact. You may wish to remove all musical instruments from the dockyard premises -
Not very sure... for tethering boats or hanging something? They are a bit like the big anchor posts forward. They are very big and heavy, and I'd wonder about the anchoring points for the beams, especially the aft ones A quick search on Google images does show the side ones on the ship at Portsmouth This model suggests they are all boat davits:- http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&biw=1600&bih=805&tbm=isch&tbnid=LWBh7QS2ZxcuLM:&imgrefurl=http://www.naintrading.co.uk/model-ships/hms-victory-p-478.html&docid=gI_L-yfL9aKYHM&imgurl=http://www.naintrading.com/data/ships/0HMS%252520Victory%252520Close%252520Sail%252520L60%252520-%25252001.jpg&w=1280&h=1074&ei=r2WNUbj8EfCb1AXH_YDYCQ&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588,r:93,s:0,i:448&iact=rc&dur=322&page=4&tbnh=169&tbnw=198&start=85&ndsp=32&tx=151&ty=107 This view does show them http://farm1.staticflickr.com/2/2056216_f7f20b4fcc.jpg

1/72 Revell Corvette "Snowberry"
Mister Surveyor replied to Martyn's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
Following this with great interest, having built the original Matchbox version more moons ago than I care to remember. I had plans for radio control that never quite worked. Going to be a beauty when you finish. Incidentally the windows, and the hatches in which they are set in, which are openable for ventilation and a bit of light (and maintenance), are the skylights. -
Airfix 1/350 wish list
Mister Surveyor replied to AntPhillips's topic in General Maritime modelling chat

RAN late 1930's Diorama
Mister Surveyor replied to Forlornhope's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
The drastic surgery did the job.... you'd never have been happy with that huge bend in the stern.... photos tell me she's now looking much more acceptable! -

Airfix 1/350 wish list

Let me see... A standard Ton class minesweeper (with PE and a selection of crew) Leander Class frigate (with choice of weapons fit and decals to cover all 26 of the class, PE and crew) PS Waverley (with PE and people) - also would be nice in a bigger scale with wooden bits ..all to have option of full hull/WL -

HMS Furious 1918 in 1/350 scale
Mister Surveyor replied to Julio Pillet's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
Great subject for a model, always think these battlecruisers/aircraft carriers have been a bit neglected. Good luck to you with this one, will watch with interest. Not very clear about the openings from this photo, the forward 2 do look like watertight door openings.... must be a better pic somewhere? Found a line drawing at http://z11.invisionfree.com/shipbucket/ar/t901.htm not sure on accuracy but can see one WT door -
Unknown scale submarine diorama
Mister Surveyor replied to Edgarovich's topic in Ready for Inspection - Maritime
