That upside down thing doesn't help you a lot, weekend Wednesday and Thursday ... yeah right!!! Nice region though, can't recall, but I've seen something like it in France. Perhaps I should start taking pictures like you RGL and write on the back where it is and what it represents ... but then ... I'll be needing a system to find it when I need it ...- 1,090 replies

You mean at the bottom of a valley ... Any work done lately? I'm presently doing some work on a 1/72 Fokker Dr 1 (plastic) for nobody is moving. It's even very quiet in the rafters ... nuttin' tumblin' down, not even a retiree Pat I just kicked out a squatter, you could take his place ... no I woun't kick you Hmmm, thought there would be a limit ... does it also mean when you're retired, your pictures get shaky? If so I'll not retire for a long time!

I read in Preston's book (see a.o. the pages in a few posts before this one) the V & W class destroyers wwere far better than their German counter parts, despite the fact that the German ships had bigger guns. Those however were not as stable as the V&W destroyers which could still operate at a rough-ish sea ... I'm glad you English got something right ... else we all would have been German darn I already am ... partly ...

She starts to have parts which look like a ship (besides the hull) ... when you've completed her, she'll weigh a ton with those brass plates fitted ... your display reinforced for it? I am thoroughly enjoying your build, eventhough it moves by the whims of the postal service ...

Thanks for your explanations, very enlightning. Didn't know the bit about the halyard

Thanks for all the likes and comments gents. We're still a long way from home, although sometimes I'm blinded by the light at the end of the tunnel, it seems I'm thrown back a few hundred paces ... each time there is something to improve upon. Still have a few vent poles to make. My brass collection has been extended yet again with 0.2, 0.3 solid, and the 0.5 o.d./0.3 i.d. brass, the latter I used for the chimney - just a few more rods before I can setup my internet shop I'm still waiting for a few items, in the mean time I'll have some minor additions to do, like the blankets round the bridge's railing, a few flag lockers, remove the centre forcastle bollards, and replace them by a single slightly larger one further back on the forcastle (lucky I ordered both middle and large size 1/700 brass bollards). Some rather ineffective AA-guns to be made ... couldn't find something worth replacing them with, so I'll stick to the ugly kit parts. Since RGL bought all the paravane winches from BNA I just shall have to wait until they become available - he might beat me to it again I wager ... - so I can get them to replace the odd parts in the kit. I saw on a drawing paravanes were mounted against the rear sides of the rear gun platform, which gives more space on the poop. On Greg's drawing ther are two steam winches I'll endeavour to make. The cable of which should be attached to a paravane and would pass right through one of the paravanes stored there ... illogical place to stow a paravane, hence the change of mind. Couldn't find the storage of the depth charges though ... So how is our third partner in crime moving along. Getting tired of flattening out those sprue attachment pointss yet? Or have you glued a part of another of your builds on top of the hull I still am amazed how you can keep them separate, or saparated for that matter ...

Bollards came in this week - from downunder, faster than from Poland(!). Made some plastic parts in brass (for those with the building sheets nr C19) some pole with a blob on top (probably a vent of some sort), and made a brass copy of the galey chimney (5mm o.d., 3mm i.d.)

Weer heel wat werk verzet aan de logger. De goot voor afvoer van buiswater is helemaal klaar en hierna ben ik alle staanders gaan inmeten en maken voor tegen de verschansing. Deze blijven nog losneembaar zodat ik ze straks los van de romp kan spuiten . Hierna ben ik begonnen aan de lastige klus van het potdeksel, maar dat ging gelukkig wel heel goed. Translation: Quite a lot of work done. The scuppers are finished, and after that I started measuring the braces for the bulwarks. These will remain removable for the time being, so I can spray them seperately from, the hull. After that I started on the "potdeksel" (don't know what it means in Dutch, let alone in English ... it is some kind of lid ...) which went well. Ook een nieuwe lijmmethode gebruikt waar ik erg tevreden mee ben Used a new glue method, which rather satisfied me

It's good she keeps a tight rein on the purse ... but you got contaminated with the virus ... Nicely done OC. I'm not into the real modern ships ... to squarish, and sharp angled. Not much PE on that one ... is there now?

OC, if that's a V&W class, it's the newer type, longer focsle, different guns, mast deviates, quite a few things changed. Thanks anyway, always interesting ... If I wake up it's probably from Sam's crunching, or his clumsiness holding a box ... I definitely won't glue an old maid or a spinster to my ship!!! To much distraction for the crew! Can nee have that ... I like some decorations so I'll go for the one with the outline You are willing to go a day without shaving unheard of mate ... mini parts ... wait till you make the same model in 1/700 ...if you need to give your eyes some rest, you can always pull that bag over your head but take care you can still breathe! Dennis, I'll stick to the pre WWII version, no camouflage.

Pictures, drawings and some text for the needy of this build. All references are from V & W class Destroyers by A. Preston (MacDonald, London 1971 - Out Of Print) Anything else Mr Lester ...? I think the weapons chapter is particularly interesting

For those whom want to help, please, take a look at the ship Sandor Laza refers to in his initial post. It is a.o. impossible to tie the muzzle to the bulwarks like in Nils' example. The only thing I can think of is side ways to the bulwarks, or tied down to the deck ...
