Courageous Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 Cheers guys, much appreciated. The aerial view does look smart but the side view was a little flat, so last night I added a little more height to the forward part of the bow wave. Still trying to work out what the stern wake is meant to look like as I believe that it's different depending on the number of props being used...we'll see.

Courageous Posted October 12, 2019 Author Share Posted October 12, 2019 With another build done, it's time to take a look at the ASRL Happy with the base, I fitted the wheel house and the main cabin. Also fitted here are the protective matting to the wheel house. The masts are fitted together with the forward ammunition lockers and boating hook. At was at this time I noted that I hadn't done the cabin windows and these need to be done before I add anything else. For the windows, I use a good dollop of Formula '560' that will look like glass when dry. When the windows are done, I will fit the necessary parts that are required for the aerial (yet to be done) and rigging. Stuart 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks a bit expensive in the (very cheap looking packet) but the reel probably holds many years worth of very exquisite and strong rigging thread that takes kindly to a lot of glues, particularly CA. Definitely my "Go to" for fine rigging! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courageous Posted October 18, 2019 Author Share Posted October 18, 2019 'cos it's gotta be done, I got my loom out. ...and started to knit myself a cargo net, this time I'm using the smaller 0.25mm thread. Stuart 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdo Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 That netting looks pretty complex. I don't think I'd have the patience for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not complex at all, it's quite therapeutic actually. Besides, when you dust off that 'Bounty' from that place of shame, this 'knitting' will come in handy. Anyways, a little further along... Turrets on, dingy on, middle vents on, ammo lockers on, stanchions and tall metal thing on. Also done another eight rows of knitting on my cargo net.
