beefy66 Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 OK this one has been sitting around for far to long time to get back to it and finish it so to help hold it better I made a start on the base usual method of scrap wood with insulation foam glued on and then wood beading for the edges foam sanded and given a coat of PVA glue to seal it before cutting out the hull shape and testing for size. before anyone says owt about the rat it happens to be a mouse to go with the old Airfix Little Owl I have been restoring to get MO and JO back up to speed.

Stuart Cheers Stuart slowly getting there after daughter settled back home and in new teaching job in stead of being in scruffy London. Dad now settled in the home for his dementia and mam still being a right royal PITA. Things are looking up. So MO and JO have been busy the last couple of shifts. Base painted, Making waves gel added, and the rest of the guns added, and more rigging. and the name plate ready for the base Stay Safe beefy 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefy66 Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Well more rigging and some deck fittings added and more work on the base should be just about done by the end of this week (Famous last Words ). Stay Safe beefy 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArnoldAmbrose Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Gidday Beefy, the small warships, the unsung work-horses of any navy. You're doing a great job of this. She seems to be quite well armed for a small vessel. Regards, Jeff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFI to follow soon. Stay safe beefy I am very late to the party- I just stumbled across this terrific build. Very well done! I have been eyeing the Atlantic and the Starling kits recently— hence my (belated) interest in your build. The Gorleston had an interesting history: She was one of ten US Coast Guard Lake class Cutters transferred to the RN under lend-lease. USCGC Itasca entered service in 1929, and was the Cutter stationed at Howland Island to serve as a navigation aid for the landfall Amelia Earhart never made. After the war, she was returned to the USCG, and served until 1950. At 250 feet LOA, the Lake/Banff class ships would make a great RC model in 1/100 or 1/72 scale…….
