Sure is looking good Barry! If my Missouri turns out half that nice I will be happy with it. Keep up the good work and keep the updates coming when you can.

Vickers 4.7" single mount
"Y" gun Vickers 4.72 single mounting nice design the filligree on the load/unload tray was a bit close to my abity to cut but it seems to have worked out OK.
Why is it whenever you take a picture right bang in the middle is the biggest mistake you can find. This one, some nerd rang the doorbell just as I was trying to finish the rail ropes so I wrapped the thread quickly round a stanchion and forgot about it. Why did he ring, he was delivering a curry I had not ordered.

Barry, at least your not trying to say there are no mistakes!
It takes a great guy to show his mistakes to the world :-D .
Keep up the good work, she is looking awesome!

"Mistakes?"
I don't know, all I see is "work in progress", not mistakes.
Keep at it, bazzer, she really is coming along quite nicely. Lots of great detail in this model.
Cheers!

4.7 cont

This leaves the depth charge gear to be finished at the stern. I've stuck my finger in the rails again, belated New Year resolution stop straightening them until all the rest is finished and then put it down.

Hi All
Nice piece of design on these guns detailed but buildable barrels need straightening a bit and the ammo drums are yet to be added. I left these until I had a more stable platform to hold onto otherwise I would be spended the night on the floor looking for them.
Not too many more of the cardboard bits to go now.

Hi, bazzer!
The guns look great! She's almost done, and looking superb!
Looking forward to the next update, and photos.
Cheers!

Railings
Depth charges and rail modifications
@Jim
Sorry mate given up the struggle with the fingers and railings these are GPM plastic (oops !!!) from a sample Christoph sent me to try. Just got fed up of ruining models at the end.
They are good in that you can chop up the spare plastic to add in extra stanchions using PVA.

Sometimes the railings can be the most tedious and frustrating part of the build. I can sympathize.
They don't look bad from the pictures. I know the pictures sometimes can only tell part of the story.

Hey Barry,
Whatever it takes to compete the model and make a good impression! No taboo material.......... only good models!

Wotcher, bazzer!
No worries, my friend, use whatever you have available to it's best advantage...no such thing as a purist in paper models, or else no one could use glue, what?
As always, with each update she is looking even more spectacular!
Keep at it mate, and treat us to more photos when you can.
Cheers!

ships boats
It stopped raining for a couple of days and it warmed up a bit. Finally built the ships boats they still need touching up, not that the flash on the camera won't see right through it. The platform on the aft funnel will stop the siren pipes from looking so silly, when it's fitted. Now all I have to do is find the bridge sponsons amongst all the clippings plus adding an awful lot of individual shell holders.
It makes a nice change to build something and Gremir's boats are a real pleasure to do.

Hi All
Title says last details still leaves about a hundred or so little bits to add on but the main card bits are complete. Masts and rigging still to come.

Outstanding, bazzer!
I love the railing work on the upper decks, mate!
You have done a superb job of it!
If possible, can you post a few more photos...you know we are never satisfied with just a few.:grin:
Cheers!

Wotcher, bazzer!
I'm glad I asked...:grin:
Superb collection, mate!
I love the way she came out, lots of great little details, a wonderful build.
I enjoyed watching the build, reading your commentary and, of course, the photos...thanks!
I imagine Norfolk is next?
Cheers!
