Chris Hewitt Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Hi All With interested being shown in Paul E Ton Kit,Instead of Hijacking his build, I will show what I have done so far. I will skid the pics of the model,because the same as Paul E, Straight on to the build. It has as a lot a wooden deck ,I was happy until my ex naval buddies ,said it was too dark,already too far to change,so all a could do was weather it by dry brushing white to tone it down. Added detail on bridge and funnel,even added hinges on the lockers, very sad. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob 1 Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Nice choice of class to build Chewitt, and coming long nicely. I can see the dry brushing effect has toned the deck planks down and they look quite pale to me, like the real thing, I think it should turn out looking fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul E Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Coming along nicely and I can see you are a lot more advanced than I am. I see you have picked up on the doors and the bridge windows, I have been thinking about those too. Keep up the good work, I am looking forward to seeing how she comes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul E Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Looks good, minor comment though, the "grating deck" on which the ships' boats sit on the starboard side should be further forward so it meets the foredeck. But she does look very neat and I do like how you have done the deck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-FAAWAFU Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 Chris, what did you use for the bridge windows? it's very effective (and I am thinking of some shameless plagiarism!). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2016 Share Posted May 18, 2016 They were Japanese bridge windows by Flyhawk 1/700,secret is out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Another photo,with the "grating deck" in the correct place. Thanks Paul for highlighting that ,would been a small disaster, if the railings had been fitted .I have had to sanded the Sweep Oropesa down a lot to fit their cradles.still busy with that.Main mast and rigging fitted and railings done around the bridge.The colours look too bright,however its duller it real life. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul E Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 She is looking very nice indeed. Thanks for the tip about the Oropesa floats, it is good to be fore warned about such things. Keep up the good work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 They were all nicely painted when l realised they did not fit,to get the fin through the cradle to seat on the outside, had to cut the cradle one side, bend apart to fit,then straighten back,unless l have missed something.

foxy Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Nice show of your ships too. Care of Beefy. Surprising how much work to get the appearance right even for a small ship as this. Lovely work so far Chewee mate. foxy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
