beefy66 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Well she is ready to sail ensign hoisted this was built OOB good kit to get some practice with the dreaded PE only thing I had to add was a set of ladders the carpet monster got hold of the original and the Ushi rigging line The weathering has been kept to a minimum as I wanted to show her as just built sailing out of the River Tyne where she was built not far from where I live And not a bad result 3rd place at Scale Scotland last Saturday on her first outing beefy 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejboyd5 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Spectacular! My memory fails as to the reason for the large metal framework on the bow. Can you refresh? Did the Rodney carry this as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks the large A frame on the bow was for the Acoustic Hammer when mine sweeping Must not have been very good because she was damaged by mines twice And Roberts did have one of these also Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner1972 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Looks great!. A very wide ship, I guessing it's because of the huge gun . Ready to pound the shoreline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
