  1. Here is a work in progress of the HMS Clematis from the Revell Platinum Edition kit. I chose this ship because on December 30, 1940, after ordering the convoy she was escorting to disperse, singlehandedly attacked the German Cruiser Admiral Hipper. After facing several broadsides unscathed HMS Clematis forced the German ship to withdraw. I'll be building her as she appeared in 1943. I've made several modifications to the kit so far, including modifying the keel, riveting the funnel with Archer's rivet decals, and adding a ships wheel to the control room. All markings are painted, and I used a custom mix of Tamiya paints for the B-55 Admiralty color. I'm also using several photoetch and Shapeways sets purchased from Niall Orr. All comments and advice welcome! Cheers, Tom
  2. Thank you for the warm welcome! Cheers, Tom
  3. Hello Everyone, I’m Tom, a modeler for the past 48 years or so, and I just discovered this site recently. I’ve built many ships over the years including the Revell Constitution when I was 14, a USS Missouri, another Missouri converted to the USS Iowa, my first wooden ship after college the AL Bluenose, HMS Clematis (Flower Class Corvette) on hold, and the HMS Rodney (also on hold). After seeing and purchasing the OcCre HMS Beagle recently my love for wooden ships has been rekindled, and eventually I will post a build log (working on a 1/32 Lancaster dedicated to my Uncle at present). In the meantime, thank all of you for sharing your work and expertise, and I will post photos of my completed and in progress work as well. Thanks for your hospitality! Cheers, Tom
  4. I haven’t seen the ship’s boats built up before (aside from the Occre videos), and your work looks great. Cheers, Tom
  5. Impressive work Pete! Just got this kit myself so I am really enjoying your progress. Cheers, Tom
