Looks to me to be too heavy and bold. The Mk1 wheelhouse is not fit for purpose. I'm hoping to use some of the parts for templates . . . .

Terry1954 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I don't know how I missed this one originally Kev. My interest is largely driven by the fact that my Dad was at Dunkirk, and the title was not hard to miss! So I have just spent close to half an hour reading through this amazing build, at the same time enjoying my morning porridge. As ever your skills in this area are amazing, and extremely inspiring. This has the makings of a miniature maritime masterpiece, so what's new, just like your other builds really! Thanks for sharing Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArnoldAmbrose Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Gidday Kev, that wheelhouse is looking very good. Did those four shells hitting the screens (post#135) come from the same burst? If so they look to me in that first photo that they all passed in front of the helmsman, but very close! Particularly the one that came in from the side window. Are you adding 'exit wounds' on the other side, or have I got the trajectories wrong? Either way, it looks very good. Regards, Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
