Shar2 Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Bit more done to the Illustrious. Namely reprofiling the ramp side and adding the rear catwalk. Hope to get some primer on soon, then start the paint, including trying to mask off and paint the deck markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bootneck Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 Hi Dave, here is a photo of my sister's lad onboard HMS Ocean a few years ago. The reason for posting the image is to show the outboard 'curve' mid-way up on the starboard bridge structure and also the sweep of the overhang of Flyco. I'll email you the other HMS Ocean photo's as they are hi-res versions Cheers Mike . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 That photo is strange Mike, it makes the whole superstruture look like its leaning! Julien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
