I just discovered this log. Amazing build! I love the way you made the cage masts, winches, guns, well ... everything in fact!

What is the cased ship model that appears in the background of some of your photos?

Keep up the great work.

Hi all.        

Secondary weapons….The last difficult build…

There were 12 x 3-inch guns on the real ship, from which 8 were being exposed at the superstructure, while only the rest 4, were being covered…

At first I had to build their stands at a truncated cone shape with an extension at the rear.

Those stands were made by gluing seven small pieces of plastic.

In a second try was constructed the body of the gun with the barrel.

The barrels were bought from the market. They were barrels for 6 inc gun in 1:200 scale, which perfectly matched as barrels for 3 inc gun in scale of 1:100 (as the model).

The rest of the parts were made by pieces of plastic 12 for each gun…

What has left for the model to be finished, is only details here and there and certainly a test in the water…

I’ll be back with the results, hopefully good.

 

Thanks

Hi Panagiotis

 

You know, looking at your beautiful model, is a bit like being on a Nudist Beach. There's so many things to look at, that I don't know where to start! The more I look at your photos, the more details start popping up! Amazing and marvellous.

 

Look forward to more updates.

 

Cheers

 

Patrick

Thank you all for your comments.

Patric, it's safer to look the things on my model...In a nudist beach you might get yourself misunderstood... :)

Thanks

Yep, you're right. Also, I won't need to go to Holy Confession to confess my sins caused by perving at things I shouldn't be looking at! Edited by Omega1234

Hi all mates.

Thank you for being here all this time but unfortunately I'm not coming back with a test in the water.

I spent summer with family and grandchildren and by the time  the model was ready, the winter had already started.

I don't know when a good day will let me see my model in the water but I promise you'll be just the next ones who will join my joy.

For now I post some photos of the completed model and  from my participation in an exhibition.

Many thanks

Hi Panagiotis

 

Marvellous work and congratulations on a truly beautiful model. You've got to be really chuffed with it!

 

I'd also imagine that your ship generated a fair bit of interest during the exhibition, especially seeing as it's a Greek warship.

 

Additionally, like you, I'm keen to see the water shots, so, hopefully it'll be a quick winter.

 

All the best!

 

Patrick

Hi Panagiotis,

 

Beautiful work.  I thought, from the detail that it was a lot bigger.  To pack that much detail in that size is amazing.

Hi all mates.

I don't know about your countries but here, even some days before Christmas the weather seems rather like starting autumn...

So last week I had the chance to test my model in the sea and as I had promised you, you can see the results in the below photos.

Sweet Panagiotis.    You are a braver man than I.   I would be afraid all that wonderful work would sink.  :)    I'll be looking forward to your next project.

Dear all.

I feel the need to ask for your apologies because, although your wide acceptance and your kind words on my models, I can't be as much I would like in touch with you.

You see I can speak and write only in German and I feel bad unable to respond direct and in personal on your comments, besides I might present myself at least as snob on other mates' models...

So, I'm here,  I watch and admire your models but I have to rely on the help of my good friend Thanasis to write you in English.

Thank you all

Hi Panagiotis and Thanasis

 

Please don't feel bad!  We'd feel the same way if we had to speak German.  The fact that we can each admire and enjoy each other's models, is reward enough.

 

Have a great Christmas and Nw Year.

 

Many thanks

 

Patrick
