cog Posted July 7, 2018 Author Share #91 Posted July 7, 2018 Again thanks for the likes and the comments! CLeared the deck with the molds to stick the platform on. primed a couple of parts, funnels, base of the forard "super"structure, 4.7" guns (inside, and bottom), replaced the bollards, and fairleads. I'll try tomake a picture with the difference kit vs detail up. I'll need to build a searchlight tower, and change the bridge's rear section. Going to have some fun ... that's for certain lmagna, Old Collingwood, Piet and 4 others 7 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures." Lord Nelson Search and you might find a log ...

After drying, the subs get a gloss coating on their balast tanks to make them look whet-ish for some realism when I get on a diorama ...

I wanted to do a G class but could't find a kit. should have looked under tribal class At the start I didn't yet know which one to build, then Lou came up with the Glowworm ... what can I say ...

cog Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share #104 Posted July 8, 2018 Thanks Greg. Still a long way to go. Currently remodelling the forard superstructure, a.o. the bridge. I won't be able to get her all the way into Glowworm, but I'll try to. Rangefinder and it's control are up ... alternated by some mind blowing PE ... the grill on the funnels, one down, one to go ... although a bit early in the build, I suddenly started to put some antifowling red on the deck ...

cog Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share #105 Posted July 8, 2018 There wll be a slight difference in the forard super,sructure, besides that I'm missing details on the deck. I have to install a range finder and a controler, instead of the radar on Huron, a lot of things I know about but do not have visible confirmation on. I Mmight mess a few things up ...

cog Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share #106 Posted July 8, 2018 it is odd that in the book from March on destroyers the drawing of the entire Tribal G class is missing whilst I have found nearly all class drawings in it ... the et isn't much better either. some paper models, which I use as reference, reluctantly as you will understand.

cog Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share #107 Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Todays harvest: Shortened the bridge by 1cm / 2/5"you can still see the original size on the deck. The radar will be removed and replaced by a rangefinder and controller. The wings of the deck where the bridge is mounted have been removed as have the boarding. There is a tiny bit left which turns in roundly. I'll have to reinstall the boarding - get some thinner plastic for that, maybe I've got something in my stash. As you can see the aft raised gun deck has been shortened by quite a bit, added some structural beams for the look of it. I'll do the same with the forward overhang. Ordered some more 3D (Greg at € 6 shipping ... life's unfair!) Edited July 9, 2018 by cog Old Collingwood, RGL, Piet and 6 others 9 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."
