stevehnz Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 It looks good in that last update Beefy, catching the look of the Rs nicely. Coincidently, while ratting around for something else, I stumbled across my copy of British Warships of the Second World War, a Folio of scale plans, with Royal Oak in 1/384. I've had this for nearly 50 years now & I rather think it is from this that my interest in ship builds & the Rs in particular stems. Carry on.

robgizlu Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Looking very fine indeed. I just had to go back and recheck the scale at 1/500. Rob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted November 1, 2021 Author Share Posted November 1, 2021 Cheers Steve and Rob bit slow with this build 1/500 scale is small for me so that is the reason for the slow ahead but small progress this week more of the ships boats made up added the cradles and ready for paint. Also got a start on the main bridge parts with the starfish platform added. And an offer came from the big A and just thought why not they will come in handy for some other builds when I get time. Would love to do a Newcastle or Edinburgh one day seem to spend more time reading than building these day's Stay Safe beefy 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martian Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 That starfish is looking very good. From such unpromising raw material, I think you have a major success on your tentacles hands. It is certainly going to look very different. Martian 👽 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beefy66 Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 Small update filling up the boat deck then dry fit of the forward main mast and range finder.

beefy66 Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 Small update made up the base as per my usual format baseboard from an old wardrobe side parts are from some old wood blinds and king span for the sea base basic shape drawn and cut out to take the hull some small gaps will be filled with silicone sealer. Also started on the boat deck twin mount's which have a rather large base that needs removing. Also got some more light reading material.

stevehnz Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Only saw this on my phone at work , the last few days, it is looking a bit awesome in that seascape. I reckon it will look a LOT awesome when it is done. Dare I say, a hot muggy day here. Steve. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceman 29 Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I have a generator like Jamie, it saved our Christmas with guests during a storm a few years ago. Good luck with that! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
