BANYAN Posted October 25, 2021 Share #243 Posted October 25, 2021 (edited) Definitely hand loaded in this era. Greg, do you have any guidance/evidence or whether some form of anti-slip treads or the like were fitted to the deck in the wake of the guns to assist the ammo loaders etc when working the guns in wet/slippery conditions? Not sure if I can detect some paint blemishes, divots or some form of small treads in a couple of those photos? Looking mighty fine. cheers Pat Edited October 25, 2021 by BANYAN mtaylor, Old Collingwood, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote If at first you do not suceed, try, and then try again!Current build: HMCSS Victoria (Scratch) Next build: HMAS Vampire (3D printed resin, scratch 1:350) Built: Battle Station (Scratch) and HM Bark Endeavour 1768 (kit 1:64) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dutch HWS Posted April 12, 2022 Share #249 Posted April 12, 2022 Thanks for welcoming me into this group. This post is a true goldmine of tips and expertise by RGL and so many others. Beautiful. The hull looks great with the plating effect. I was wondering if you leave the yellow or in this case red tape bands along the hull after you apply the grey primer coat? Or do yo remove it and hope the primer edges give the desired plating effect? Could you advise me how to achieve the plating effect? Thanks already for your help.

RGL Posted April 12, 2022 Author Share #250 Posted April 12, 2022 (edited) I remove the tape after primer coats, the tape would we way too thick this scale.

cog Posted April 14, 2022 Share #251 Posted April 14, 2022 Didn't see the Eskimo finished, really beautiful result on both Tribals. I will add a third to my set some time as it is in my stash to be built. Lovely result Greg, the 3D printed parts do make a difference. Will most likely be expensive enough to get it from NZ to Europe as you mentioned it to be the other way around for e.g. paints and such mtaylor, popeye the sailor, Canute and 2 others 5 Quote Carl "Desperate affairs require desperate measures."

Dutch HWS Posted August 23, 2022 Share #253 Posted August 23, 2022 On 10/17/2021 at 6:51 AM, RGL said: Superstructure dry fitted, painted and weathered. Hi guys, I was wondering where and how the crew would accesss the bridge (Trumpeter part E3) from the inside of the ship. So I could drill a hole at the right spot and place an inclined ladder? Would that be feasable? Could you help me here? Thanks a lot already. Old Collingwood, mtaylor, popeye the sailor and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cog Posted August 25, 2022 Share #254 Posted August 25, 2022 Hmmm, I could look it up in my destroyer book, but am currently abroad.

RGL Posted August 26, 2022 Author Share #255 Posted August 26, 2022 @Dutch HWSI hope this makes sense, there are ladders on the sides and to the rear as well as internally at the front (centre) down to the ships wheel.

cog Posted September 24, 2022 Share #256 Posted September 24, 2022 (edited) No holes in the deck. It's not a sub. and having such an entrance wouldn't be practical in high seas, besides, these ships weren't known for their luxury, more discomfort ...
