missed this post from you Denis. Thanks mate. I've tried calligraphy on ice, but that didn'y work out as expected ... you suggestion may be a nice alternative -
all two of them ... see you've got the noose ready ... by the way, love those launches

hmmm, I have been looking at that type of city class battleships before. Looks rather nice. Wanted to build the Edinburgh ... both Belfast and Edinburgh are the same length and tonnage. We'll see. First the German babe Thanks though!

Most plywood is not water resistant and the glue will, as you found to your dismay, disolve leaving you with loose layers. You could, to make it fit better with the lower or upper strip, add some overlapping plywood behind the strips. That would increase the strength as well, and lessens the filling and sanding

Nice 3rd Liberty ship build log, one being RC. Look forward to see this one evolve

Yes Lou, I'll paint it, at least in primer, but probably all the way. I can do it when I paint the German heavy girl

Greg, I messed up 'cause of misinterpreting wikipedia: the destroyer was equipped with four single-mounted 2-pounder "pom-pom" guns. and then I looked only at the image ... no vickers as your image shows. (bloody foreigner I am). Got the single pom-poms already. Good reason for a next build to search for a kit with quad or oct pom-poms maybe a cruiser will be available ... haven't build that type yet Lou it's British the armament, besides I only like Jazz and Classical piano AA gun staccato sounds to much like head bang music ... but thanks for the suggestion, interesting looking AA gun Now you know how to do the guns, you might as well start all your build logs. We've been listening to you ..... about them long enough mate. Time for action!!! Right you are OC. Maybe once - when I am all grown up - I might make an instructional video - maybe then it is called a digituto - about building this type AA gun Cheers everyone

So you're back ... I hate those rails 'round the funnel. It always turns out into an endless struggle to get them aligned and (<-key word) glued on. Even with PE this requires some kit bashing, or should I say PE bashing ... I like the fact the rigging scheme is included, makes life a lot easier. I'll be starting on her, as far as possible. Waiting for the PE. have to look into the drill template for the netting,might need some additional brass trinkets

Some more breathless work ... and nerve wrecking moves Now that it's build, I realised it's to bloody big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I can shelve it ... darn, now I need to find a ship which actually carried these specific pompoms ... plan B ... vickers and searchlight

Thanks everybody for the likes, as always, much appreciated, and inspiring! I feel for you Mark, but mine just uncrossed from the previous PE marathon session You give me more credit than you should ... you haven't seen it ... through an optivisor!! I am so jealous of your capability to exagerate mate, but thanks ... it feels so good ... --- Today shopping ... need to get me some building, paint, and weathering materials for the CRC-build. I might even finish the pompom if I get lucky ...

Gents, thanks for the likes and the positive comments Hello Pat. Good to have you with us. Hmmm ... viewing from a safe distance ... and I thought downunder was far enough ... now the back row as well ... Actually I would say I took a liking to the R.N ships ... a bit like British classic cars ... they've got soul ... I've started on the quad ... first breathless steps Drilling the holes to fit the barrels Need to take a breather ...
