HMAS Castlemaine. Bathurst Class Corvette.


Recommended Posts

This is a Black Cat Models kit. 1/350 scale

The additions are the draught decals from Sovereign Hobbies. Paint was also from Sovereign Hobbies.

And the wooden deck.

Great to see one of our Aussie ww2 workhorses reproduced so well. Very impressive modelling and end result!

Great presentation of a class rarely seen as a model.  Excellent rigging. Well done.

No worries. I do like these little ships, very much unsung hero’s.

I did ‘dum down’ the rigging, I feel to replicate the ACTUAL rigging becomes too much on a small model.

Great work Faraway!  I used to live a couple of minutes walk from where she’s now moored in Williamstown VIC - you’ve captured her beautifully.

I've already praised this one to the skies in the SSDGB. I still like the boat very much but the way it appears to be a little off centre (longitudinally) on the base is triggering all my tidiness reflexes. I admit that this is more my problem than yours.😆

Yup, you are right, I really thought it was spot on, but..........

You can’t see, but it leans a bit to starboard. Just wasn’t my day.

Very good, clean model, Jon - gratulations!

I like very much base too - simply and elegant.

How did you do wooden deck? I like it too.

Michal, thanks.

The deck was a done using a sheet of 1/700 scale self adhesive wood decking.

I was going to use 1/350 scale, but the planks were too wide.
