RGL Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share #71 Posted May 2, 2021 The plans have the focsle area with a checker plate and non slip strips. The kit has horribly raised bits and no non slip strips. When I bought the Pontos Marat upgrade to get the torpedo booms for the Borodino, it had lots of little steel strips which I’ve used here. The bits where the chain goes into the hull are little resin upgrades I got on a IJN set but I’ll have to add flywheels later.

RGL Posted May 3, 2021 Author Share #72 Posted May 3, 2021 A couple of shots of Eskimo in her 1944 coat then 1945. You can see the depth charge throwers and racks amidships. I’ve also show a photo of the focsle on a tribal class which shows the flanges (if that’s it) for the chain and smoke pots egkb, popeye the sailor, Canute and 3 others 6 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BANYAN Posted May 3, 2021 Share #73 Posted May 3, 2021 (edited) Greg, those are the 'naval pipes' (one each side) fitted with a bonnet (bent part) and a hand wheel operated guillotine (cable stopper/brake) . On deck will have been a blake slip for letting go the cable and a screw slip for use as a 'preventer' (I think I can see the screw slip on deck). The blake slip would have been fitted to engage with the cable on it forward sweep on the fore side of the capstan with the bottle screw slip further out near the hawse pipe/hole. cheers Pat Edited May 3, 2021 by BANYAN mtaylor, RGL, Canute and 3 others 4 2 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...

RGL Posted May 5, 2021 Author Share #75 Posted May 5, 2021 Getting some paint on the deck. The kit has it as fairly smooth but I know there are panels on it so I’ve improvised with the airbrush. Several shades of grey, once nice and dry I’ll do some filters BANYAN, popeye the sailor, yvesvidal and 7 others 10 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RGL Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share #77 Posted May 9, 2021 I gave the deck a blue grey filter then spent the day on several layers of blues before a overspray of 507a (RN Admiralty dark grey) then added a bit of white to fade it. I’ll add a filter after it has a day to dry. Ryland Craze, popeye the sailor, Canute and 4 others 7 Quote Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
