RGL Posted September 17, 2022 Author #62 Posted September 17, 2022 Thanks. I’m in the process of doing the rigging at the moment, and I’ve ordered a 5cm German deck gun for her from Micromaster. Might be accurate but who knows, it will look great. I’ve recieved some gas patch machine guns for her which really are not that much better than the kit ones. it’s massive and an absolute challenge but quite fun. So the Canberra model shipwrights has their display this weekend. Representing my club I Brough some plastic ships. There is a guy here who carves better than any 3D printer does. I’ll take photos tomorrow Old Collingwood, Canute, BANYAN and 13 others 12 4 Greg

RGL Posted September 20, 2022 Author #67 Posted September 20, 2022 (edited) Pretty much done. I need to patiently wait on the mail for a few things now. I painted the wire handrails grey and rusted them slightly and added a flag from a different set which is much nicer than the kit one.
