Old Collingwood Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share #331 Posted October 2, 2016 Just a quick post - This is what I intend to place over my hatches - Its from the PE fret and shows the rough size compared to one of the hatches, the hatch layout is Two across with an equal gap, so after measuring the plate it should fit nicely with a slight overhang.

Old Collingwood Posted October 3, 2016 Author Share #333 Posted October 3, 2016 I managed to tare myself away from aircraft spotting and did some more work on the build, I got hold of the PE fret, and found the Catapult frame that I am using for the armour cover plate over the rear hatches, this frame is flat and has perferations at set distances, I chose the section that is closest to the size I needed then scored a line and bent it till it seperated. A bit of sanding and it was the required length, next off was the two edge supports that also needed a bit of shortening, then a gauged a channel in the decking to fit the frame edges, and after a bit of dry fitting I went ahead and glued them in place with a bit of CA, next was the top plate - again with a light application of CA. Here are a few pics of the result folks. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted October 4, 2016 Author Share #337 Posted October 4, 2016 Another bit of progress folks - I created another piece of plating and two side supports, and after using a small amount of CA I glued them in place, I was them able to apply a few coats of paint - this is the result folks.

Old Collingwood Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share #341 Posted October 8, 2016 Just to show my way of thinking with the additional armor I added to the rear Hatches - I had seen somewhere that she had some additional plates fitted at times - then I saw this pic - OC.

Old Collingwood Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share #343 Posted October 9, 2016 More plates ... on the turret ? I think they were just placed there early years before the 20mm Orks where fitted to the tops of the turrets, It just got the idea that they may have done a similar thing to the rear hatches - like in my build.

Old Collingwood Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share #345 Posted October 9, 2016 A bit more progress today folks (I will post some pics tomorrow in the light) I found out a way to scribe some armor plate details - starting with the drop down deck (where the 6 inch casemates where) this had a quite destinct line along the edge about half way down, I made a guide for the line with a wooden block taped in position, and ran a needle attached to a handle along the top of the wood to gouge a narrow line, then i ran a pencil along the line to make it stand out a bit. It went well but will need a bit more tidying up as the pencil line is to wide, I did a similar thing in the mid ships area to the side hull, again with a wood block - same tech, and it turned out fine just about noticable, next i formed a box area by gauging/pencil to the extreme bow end near the flagstaff, I finnished it off by adding a couple of small holes in the area.

Thanks greg, yep the old girl did have an unusual profile, I will still be some time I feel as I will be concentrating on each small section as a build in thier own. and painting small sub assemblies befor assembley, that way I should be able to get more detail on them - and in an easier fashion.

Old Collingwood Posted October 11, 2016 Author Share #358 Posted October 11, 2016 (edited) I got an hour or two on the bench this evening and started work on the rear side wall, I cut it from the kit fret, and sanded the edges abit, I then fashioned a piece of plastic strip that was lerking in the kit - but not needed, this was glued on the top edge with Revell Glue - then when set i sanded the face to get a smooth join, next I needed to reduce the hight with a sanding stick and micro flat file. Next will be a strip of PE to fill the gap between the wall and the turret. Oh - and i drilled out the port holes. Just the one pic of it folks. OC.
