Good evening 

i made up a funnel top for the fwd one, just to see how to go about it, and made up the signal deck area between the funnel and mast

IMG_1702.thumb.JPG.0d78d4269111a4ab2000c906088d56cf.JPG

then having carefully marked everything out i proceeded to drill all the portholes and two doors in the WRONG place hence twice as many as i need, these will be filled in later on before the coat coat goes on, all this was so that i could practice some lighting effects

 

red lighting in the passage way behind the door

Thank you Keith, it is one of those builds where all of a sudden it changes completely on the addition of one piece, hope this weekend to put a deck onto the the fwd superstructure, this will enable me to start marking out where all of the overhangs are fitted

 

I am enjoying following the build.

Good evening everyone

away from lighting, i have a boat to build

 

paid some attention to the strern this weekend

 

ignore the launcher, i dont know how to go about that yet, although i presume i am going to have to bur one along with the director gear total about £300

but the bulkhead behind it, which i quess is part of the Seaslug Magazine

Not My photo

this is how she had started the weekend

IMG_1678.thumb.JPG.ae019f4131639d313a1897677f15bcce.JPG

ii copied the after part of the slight deck and fixed to the quarterdeck slightly aft to the top piece to get the correct angle

spacers to hold the height and give the skin something to stick to

Hi Kevin.

Fantastic build. The use of so many different building materials makes this a intresting build for me.

Lots of real nice details you have added and the shear size makes this a real display model.

With your skill's building the launcher will not be too much of a challenge. Make a jig for the frame work as you will need 6 off the same if I remember correctly.  With slight modes to each frame. Go for it..

 

Will you keep her ?  You might need a extension built. 

Late I know But I gonna follow along with your excellent build.

 

Regards Antony.

Never to late and a a pleasure to have you aboard, next on the todo list is to extend the forecastle, on which B turret sat, but had been replaced by the Exocet when i had joined her in 1978

agreed Keith, but as i have have said, i would never have been able to make one, and with that in mind i doubt that i would have continued/started the build

Good evening everyone
Nearly completed the basic superstructure on my Fleetscale hull 1/72 HMS Fife County class destroyer, nearly time to start the real work on her,
the Foremast shape was completed this weekend, and fitted quite well onto the signal deck area, the last bit i have left to create is the hex shaped bridge observation area

Good evening everyone

more progress made this weekend

but i think i went a bit over the top on the decking, so i may take some of it out and go to steel plates, i will wait for the rivet counters to rip my head off (on F/B) that is)

this is the bit I may have to do again, even though i dont think it looks out of place, This Vessels had a lot of wooden decks

[Ie1gKOB]
having done lots of sanding i applied a rattle can to the Signal deck area, this now shows the bits left to be resanded

[VdHVoD8]

Search light pedistals
[XG3QJNU]

the square platform is the area for the binacle

[NBsgFvd]

some lighting going in, you can still see the areas that need working on, with filler and sanding

Looking rather nice,    from memory when I went over Devonshire in 1976 at pompy, she had a fair amount of wood decks along with that green painted deck areas.

Good morning OC

i have been corrected since my last post, the platforms are correct, but the deck area is wrong, no big deal in this case

Wow Kevin, that's looking really very nice. Like Denis said, the detailing is the fun part and gives the ship character.

at last i have managed to get a few days off, and a few hours in on the build

 

having been corrected and forced to see the errors of my ways i did a bit of a revamp on the signal deck, for the time being is will now leave this and move on back to the superstructure

QYIH6Ah.jpg

 

i decided to define the port holes better than the original idea I had, and actually used the brass ones from the Amerigo Vespucci kit that i abandoned a good few years ago, they stick out of the superstructure more than they should but for now they will do, the liners for the square ones look ok, but one or two of them look slightly wonky

I'm glad you corrected the signal deck, the details you added make it looks so much more authentic and visually appealing.  Nicely done!

Cheers,

Good evening everyone

the build continues, at a very slow pace, normally I only get the weekends to do anything, but thats my problem

 

my last post was the vent, which in all honesty could be a lot better, so it has be filed in the bin

 

yesterday i covered the MDF Decking Forward and aft in Plasticard, this will now allow me to get a nice finish where it attaches to the hull, in hindsight perhaps I should not have gone all the way back on the forward section as this will have a wood decking laid on it

more work done on the forward superstructure, in finishing the portholes W/T doors and drilled hols for the handrail supports, also the top deck extensions have bee fitted, these are for the Corvus launcher https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corvus_chaff_launchers

even a few ladders are going in place, the double doors, are access to a workshop, maybe these are the wrong type of doors to use

I would think that the doors are all the same......only doors that are different size might look a little different.  the biggest thing to look out for,  would be the way they open in different situations....you don't want to use a left hand door in a right hand situation  ;)    nice progress with the added detail......odd looking launchers.

I yam wot I yam!
