CDW Posted February 17, 2019 Share #332 Posted February 17, 2019 Superb, a stunning replica, Greg. Some of your best work I've seen so far. A very nice subject model as well. It looks very modern and sleek for it's time period.

RGL Posted February 21, 2019 Author Share #337 Posted February 21, 2019 The Infini upgrade includes propeller guards and solid bars which in real life are chains that can pull them up. Thus the 1/700 chain. Needs a touch up but I’ll do that after I put the torpedo net shelves on nd I can do another round of weathering. I’m thinking the deck is mostly done. You can just make out the name plate plate at the stern. yvesvidal, popeye the sailor, John Allen and 11 others 14 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGL Posted February 22, 2019 Author Share #340 Posted February 22, 2019 The torpedo net shelves come is 3 pieces each side. I painted them on the fret and used chipping fluid of reveal a red oxide undercoat. I want to do a fair bit more work on them now they’re on the hull.

RGL Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share #346 Posted February 23, 2019 (edited) Bit more rust on the net shelf and started to rig the 30 torpedo booms.

RGL Posted February 25, 2019 Author Share #354 Posted February 25, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, BANYAN said: Very nice detailing Greg; but must be very tedious work? cheers Pat Each boom has 2 pulleys added (not included in the upgrade) and 1 on the hull. I’m thinking all up it would be a weeks work but I’ve taken to listening to podcasts or audio books which is a very good distraction. Once I’ve finishedd the booms I’ll add the nets, which I’ve primed but need to paint and weather before adding. When they’re on I’ll add more pulleys to pre placed rings on the hull (22 in total) and lines will be added then that should do it.

Piet Posted February 25, 2019 Share #355 Posted February 25, 2019 Looking fantastic Greg. A great example in how to build a model.

Result? I just don’t know. No one had colour film back then.
