Timothy Wood Posted January 30, 2015 Author #363 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) I'm leaning in the direction of PT-124. One of my favorite WWII prints was done by an artist named Tom Freeman. He did a superb painting called "Action in the Slot" depicting the Japanese destroyer Makigumo going down at the hands of PT-124 in 1943. My current plans are to purchase a copy of the print and display it with the finished model. This is a copy of the print.

Alfons Posted January 30, 2015 #365 Posted January 30, 2015 Here is challenge for you Tim! Place your PT-124 in a diorama, i.e at full speed in the sea, with the exploding Japanese destroyer as a background poster. I would imagine that creating the water in a realistic way would be quite a challenge. /Alfons dgbot 1 Quote Current Build: Gloucester Fishing Schooner - Blue Jacket - Scale 1:48 Next Project: Riva Aquamarine - Amati

Timothy Wood Posted March 16, 2015 Author #368 Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Greetings, I've been working in the ELCO just over two years now and I can finally see a light at the end of the tunnel. Today I finished work on the four torpedo tubes, they still ned to be painted and the torpedo head mounted in the forward end of the tube but the hard part is finally behind me. The impulse chambers have been mounted along with all the brass photo-etch parts on the tubes, the hardest part was cutting and mounting the rings to the reinforcing plates, (see photos below). Reinforcing rings for torpedo tube still on the tree. Reinforcing ring in first step for sizing to fit the tube, the forward and rear rings are two different sizes. Test fitting reinforcing rings until final size is obtained. Torpedo tube complete with all brass and reinforcing rings attached.

Timothy Wood Posted April 25, 2015 Author #379 Posted April 25, 2015 Greetings, Today was a rainy gloomy day here in Virginia Beach which means it's a good day to hit the building bench. I managed to get the Day Cabin about 80% completed. As you can see, I still have to paint the torpedo tubes. Our weather hasn't been warm enough to get out on the porch for that yet, hopefully in the next week or two. I included a shot with most of the toys placed on the deck just for kicks and a photo op.

Timothy Wood Posted April 26, 2015 Author #383 Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) Greetings, I was able to get some more time in at the bench today which is always a good thing, because the prospect isn't too good this coming week. I finished mounting all the windows, mast, mast supports to the Day Cabin. The yard was glues to the mast along with the cleats on each side at the mast base. The Day Cabin hatch, non-skid, speed wrench and boat hook will be installed after a coat of primer has been applied, which will be at the mercy or the weatherman. I still have to attach the blocks at each end of the yard then thread the flag halyards through each.
