Thanks for the kind words Jaffro it's all pretty simple starts off with an bent oval of wire with 2 lengthwise and 4 vertical wires on a cardboard former soldered together to form the basic dish. Then cut a hole in a pice of cardboard and wrap cotton thread around it to form the mesh paint it...

Foremast rear radar Foremast radar array 25swg and stiffend cotton horn should be a full lattice but this has to suffice

stern view just more bits of wire have to make some more netting prototype launch and the start of the liferafts

Not a lot to say when it's faultless nice to sit back and watch though 110 out of 100 for the steps

thank you chaps Lex there are at least 90 liferafts yet and a fair few radar bits yet etc

Shafts and rudders Hope I don't knock them off props next my pet hate A belated thanks for the kind words

Stay cool do not cut it sent you an email proportionally it will all end up as a uniform scale. barry

You did a good job on the stern spine mate looks b****dy good

That is spectacular ................ I like Siatki too

Safety nets Awkward things made out of metalised Christmas ribbon originally gold coloured. A sort of solder rails, spray rails, stick on the gold ribbon, spray again chop off the excess ribbon a lot easier when it has been painted. Not in the mood to move the model safely so they are just...

Just a thought leave a good overlap vertically on the keel plates I did not allow for that much thickness of card..............just check with the first couple please regards barry

Well that's a beautiful job you did on the hull mate I'm impressed! Are you sure 250 gsm is not strong enough for the hull sides and keel. Not to teach granny to suck eggs but I assume you will sand a sharp edge to the bow. As your plans are in 1/96th using a scanner would allow you to keep...

Looks perfect

the awkward bits Managed the awkward bits reasonably well. The top masts will have to wait to the end otherwise I will knock them off. Thanks for the kind words Elb and CJ

Nice bit of deck laying there mate must look really impressive in real life.

more rails Used up my current batch of rails have to make some more tomorrow a gently mindless pastime. thanks Elb

A few more crossbeams might come in handy thats a big area. Looks great Elb more pics more pics

Thanks for the flowers. I'm glad the chopers look realistic to folks who have actually been up close to them. The hull will receive a couple of glue injections in a couple of places and the theory is that with some correctly bent run off pipes holding the plates the hull should look pretty...

cat walk rails Some poor pics of the catwalk rails got fed up of looking at a bare deck so I put a few choppers on it more to convince myself the end is in sight even if a long way off. Thanks for the kind words

My father was in Dauntless her sister ship I think just after WW1
