The water is very tempting but must be too cold for my taste. Yves Many Thanks for the kind comments Yves. The resin really made the diorama pop. I was a bit nervous about using it; it has the capability to ruin the whole diorama but I'm glad I tried it. Thank for the kind comments and support Alan mtaylor, Old Collingwood and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CDW Posted July 24, 2021 Share #155 Posted July 24, 2021 Just now, king derelict said: Thanks for the great comments Craig. I'm still learning a lot as i progress though the builds. The diorama was fun and I would like to do more but they take up room. I need to get a display cabinet or something instead of using individual cases I hope I can live up to expectations with the Geisenau. It looks like another very detailed Flyhawk kit. Thanks Alan You're going to do great with it I am sure. I thought the Geisenau had two main guns in each turret instead of three as depicted in the kit, but then again, I am not well read on that particular ship. Perhaps it went through variations in it's career. mtaylor, king derelict, Old Collingwood and 1 other 4 Quote Completed Projects: USS Fletcher 1:144 Scharnhorst 1:350 USS Independence LCS-2 1:350 1:32 J7W1 Shinden Interceptor/Fighter Fairey Swordfish Mk.

Blue Ensign Posted July 24, 2021 Share #156 Posted July 24, 2021 A fine model and dio Alan, and a fitting tribute to this iconic cruiser. Did you know that C.S. Forester dedicated his book The Ship to the officers and crew of HMS Penelope. I have a special interest in this ship as my uncle went down with her. As an ERA and with the ship closed up for action he had little chance of escape. He had transferred from her sister ship Aurora in December 43 after she was seriously damaged during an air attack. Such are the fortunes of war. B.E.

Hi Craig I had a quick look on line and the Wiki people and a couple of other sites all show photos of three triple gun turrets on Geisenau so hopefully Flyhawk got it right. As you say - there are refits and I need to read up some more on her history Thanks Alan mtaylor, CDW and Canute 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the utmost respect for the crews of the worlds warships who carried out their duties in the face of explosions, inrushing water and fires. The "black gang" of the engine room were especially vulnerable with all the watertight doors closed and they had no idea what was going on topsides other than the noise. Very much a special breed. I have a copy of "The Ship" but had forgotten the dedication. Thank you very much for reminding me. I have put it on my pile to reread. Its one of the classic great sea books. Its in my top five of those books with "The Cruel Sea" the outright best for me, and "The sea shall not have them" Alan Blue Ensign, Old Collingwood, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
